Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 14th November 2012

Pub Landlord Al Murray is your host in the first of a new series of the stand-up show, and after a whirlwind bus-top tour of London - "Covent Garden! Not a single nun, not a single flower, a complete lie" - he takes to the stage in Shepherd's Bush, celebrating the Jubilee, Pippa Middleton's rear and taking the mickey out of the poor souls in the front row. Also on stage: Richard Herring deconstructs children's hand signals, while Andy Zaltzman transcribes his involvement in his child's birth.

Gill Crawford, Radio Times, 14th November 2012

The fourth series of this reliably funny stand-up comedy show opens with a bang tonight, as Al Murray's Pub Landlord embarks on an open-top tour of the capital. "The whole world looks to London," he says proudly, "and then sends its slack-jawed teenagers to chain-smoke and shoplift in the Trocadero." The tone set, Murray proceeds to give a fine, typically provocative performance in front of a paying crowd at the Shepherds Bush Empire before introducing support performances from Richard Herring and Andy Zaltzman.
