Al Murray:
Totally Out of Character
Radio 4, 6.30pm
We all recognise Al Murray,
right, as the Pub Landlord,
the “know-all, know-nothing
blowhard” and one of the
most successful comic
creations of the past 25 years.
But who is he really? In this
show, the beloved British
stand-up comedian appears
as himself, putting aside his
pint glass and revealing the
man behind the country’s
most famous publican.
Based on the things people

shout out to Murray in the
street, fans think they must
know him — but how far
off the mark are they really?
This new pilot sketch show
tells all. Or does it?
