1) LADIES NIGHT'
The Australian barmaid (Julia Sawalha) organises a Ladies' Night. The Pub Landlord is furious and refuses to let them in. But it turns out that they are all really attractive so he lets them in after all. Then he discovers they're lesbians so he throws them out again. Unfortunately it turns out they are actually the local brewery inspectors in disguise.

2) 'CAMPARI AND SODA'
An exchange visit is implemented between Al's pub and the Duck & Tortoise next door. Unfortinately for Al, the Duck & Tortoise is a gay pub.

3) 'THE SUMMER OF PUB'
Al has realised that theme pubs are all the rage, about eight years ago. So he decides to set one up of his own, with the theme of 'men standing around drinking beer'. (If no one laughs, The Australian Barmaid can say 'So, no change there...') Eventually, they decide on a 60s theme, and organise an impromptu rock concert in the beer garden. Look out for an uncanny appearance by a lookalike playing Paul 'Beatles' McCartney.

4) 'CHANGING THE BARRELS'
The Australian barmaid brings her new boyfriend in. He's a nasty racist bigot and offends everyone. The Pub Landlord however thinks he's found a kindred spirit and gets on well with him, that is until he proclaims that all Pakistanis are bastards and upsets the Australian barmaid too. In a sudden ironic character reversal, Al punches him out cold and gets a big round of applause from the audience. The final scene hints at a possible love scenario between Al and the Australian Barmaid as they lock up the bar. But just as they're about to embrace, Jason Freeman walks in and ruins the moment. Run credits over shots of Al chasing Freeman down the street with a stick.

5) 'OPTIC-AL ILLUSION'
New European regulations on drinks measures come into force, and Al is not happy. Another chance to hear those classic ad libs once again.

6) 'TEAM SPIRIT'
It's the annual inter-pub football championships, and Al is determined to make the victory cup his. There is also a Euro 2000 subplot, with an escalating joke about increasingly huge televisions.

7) 'BLIMEY, THE WIFE'
The Pub Landlord's evil ex-wife (a bravura peformance by Jenny Eclair) pops by to discuss alimony payments or something. She brings along their son who looks and behaves exactly like Phil Daniels' character, suggesting that, at some point in the past, Phil Daniels has had sexual intercourse with her. Al can do some good double-takes here. Eventually Phil Daniels breaks down and confesses that it's all true. Al rips up the alimony cheque, throws his evil wife out and gets a big round of applause from the audience. Phil Daniels looks a bit sheepish and awkward but Al says they'll remain friends because, although blood is thicker than water, lager is thicker than both of them, or something.

8) 'SAME AGAIN PLEASE'
Some rich students (Ben Moor and Julian Barratt), on a backpacking holiday of wherever Time Gentlemen Please is set, visit the bar and try to buy a packet of nuts with a million pound note. Al is annoyed. The rest of the show will write itself. (Note - get Phil Daniels' character to say something derogatory about Blur. This will provoke a knowing laugh from people who enjoy really smug knowing-wink references) Sub plot: The Australian barmaid tells everyone that all Australian men can suck their own cocks without trying. Each of the male characters keep sneaking off to the toilet throughout the show to see if they can do it, then returning with a defeated expression on their faces. At the end of the show it's revealed that the barmaid has set up a camera in the toilet and now has photos of everyone trying to suck their own cocks. 'Is this a good time to talk about my pay-rise?', she asks Al...

9) 'AND THE LUCKY WINNER IS'
During a visit to Cheddar Gorge, The Pub Landlord has a hair-brained scheme to print off more raffle-tickets than is necessary then pocket the excess money himself. Meanwhile his evil ex-wife is doing a leaflet hate campaign against him and his auntie is having sex even though she's very old. The show ends with a bird flying into someone's windscreen.

10) 'FLY ON THE WALL (OF THE PUB)'
A camera crew arrive to make a docusoap about a typical British pub. The staff get starstruck and prepare for the crew's arrival by dressing up in elaborate costumes and having luvvie tantrums. This all culminates in Al becoming a pop star, and forming an unlikely boy band called The Lager Tops.

11) 'PUB GRUB'
The Pub Landlord organises a gourmet evening but things don't go quite according to plan when some Germans visit and the Australian barmaid's pet rat goes missing. After a bungled fire drill, one of the regular customers dies and some Irish builders make a mess of the wall. To make matters worse, Al then hits his car and sticks his hand in a trifle. The show ends with the real inspectors from the brewery turning up. Doh.

12) 'LET THEM EAT NUTS'
Al gets hit on the head by a falling beer keg and dreams he's an aristocrat during the French Revolution.

13) 'THE BEST MEDICINE'
Al is suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (or piles - funnier?) and visits his doctor who diagnoses inoperable cancer. He decides to spend his remaining days being nice to everyone. Then it turns out that the doctor somehow got Al's lab results mixed up with someone else's and he's going to be fine after all. So now he has to be twice as horrible to all the people he was nice to when he thought he was dying to make up for it. And his bowels never get cured either. And the person who actually had cancer owed him a tenner. And one of the beer barrels explodes showering him with foam. And the inspectors from the brewery arrive.

14) 'LAGER THAN LIFE'
Some Nazis from the second world war turn up and interrogate the regulars. 'Vot is your name, Lant-lord', says a German officer. 'Don't tell him, Al Murray The Pub Landlord', says Jason Freeman. The show ends with everybody too drunk to march to Auschwitz. 'What a stroke of luck!', says Al. 'Luck - weyhey - sounds almost exactly like fu' says special guest star Miriam Margoylis, even though you are actually allowed to say 'fuck' these days.

15) 'NO ROOM AT THE INN'
Christmas special, with a guest appearance by Warren Mitchell as The Ghost of Landlords Past.

16) 'HOGMANAY'
Al Murray's Scottish cousin Al McMurray pays a flying visit to the pub (Al can play both parts with the aid of some nifty CSO effects and a ginger wig). Amusingly his cousin is only bigoted against people from South London and nobody else. The Australian barmaid can do jokes about 'tossing the caber' and 'big hairy sporrans' (in character of course - no cheap laughs or anything. Best tell the audience about this beforehand actually or they might not get it). The show ends with Al covered in porridge.

17) 'THE CIGARETTE MACHINE IS BROKEN'
Self explanatory.

18) 'A VISIT FROM HARRY HILL'
Jason Freeman's character organises a charity evening and hires Harry Hill to present the prizes. Harry turns out to be really dull and boring in real life (in contrast to his zany on-screen persona). Each of the regular characters take it in turns to say 'what are the chances of that happening?' to Harry who grimaces each time (like that Father Ted plot a bit). Then - oh, this is brilliant - The Pub Landlord asks him why he didn't bring his 'Big Brother Alun' along and Hill says 'Oh, he had a thing he had to do' while mugging and winking to the audience. At the end of the episode, Al appears as Hill's brother too and says 'Sorry I'm late!' to the amazement of the audience. Then, both the Pub Landlord and Harry Hill's brother appear in the same shot, turn to camera and pull that face. Class.

19) 'WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE WAR, DADDY' (AKA 'ADOLF HITLER KNEW MY FATHER')
The Old Man character tells everybody a convoluted story about the war which suggests that he is actually the Pub Landlord's natural father. In the end it turns out he's somebody else's father instead.

20) 'AL ALONE'
Due to a sudden snowdrift, Al finds himself without customers or barstaff for the entire show. He spends the whole half-hour pontificating to himself like in that episode of Hancock. We discover that underneath his bluff exterior there beats the innocent golden heart of a man who's frightened by his own mortality. At the end of the show, the door bursts open, all the regulars enter and Al goes back to his old self, obviously.

21) 'IT'S MY ROUND'
The Pub Landlord installs a new lager tank. The lager is called Rancid Monkey Spunk. Al is suspicious.

22) 'YOU CAN'T MURRAY LOVE'
Cupid's arrow strikes the pub - Al is smitten by the new beer inspector (or something), Miss Bell. She dumps him, due to a plot. The end scene features a close-up of Al whispering sweet nothings in a candle-lit restaurant ('You're wonderful, you are - I could never live without you...'), but we pull out to reveal he is actually talking to his pint.

23) 'LAST ORDERS PLEASE'
A huge, loud Yankee Doodle Dandy American in a stetson visits the pub. He just loves the 'Olde Worlde English bar' and offers The Pub Landlord a million dollars to have it taken apart, brick by brick, flown over to California and reassembled next to his enormous swimming pool. To everyone's dismay, Al agrees. The rest of the show has all the characters reminiscing about all the good times they've had (clips from previous episodes). But in the end, just as the bulldozers are moving in, The Pub Landlord rips up the cheque, throws the fragments in the American's face and gets a big round of applause from the audience.
