Synopsis:

Brothers Barry and Garry are landlords of the least-successful pub in the East End but help is on hand with their ever-scheming mate Dodgy Phil. One quick call to Renovation Reg, Memorabilia Mick or Big Screen Dean and the punters will soon be flocking in. Originally tagged as 'Eastenders meets The Simpsons', World of Pub is one of the most inventive comedy series of recent years following a path from Radio 4 to TV (as with The League of Gentleman and Little Britain) and featuring an all-star line-up of British comedy talent. Welcome to the World of Pub!
