The Guardian, 28th June 2014There's the obvious danger that Alan Davies's new show could quickly descend into a swaggering knob-measuring contest, featuring as it does four celebrities talking about whatever they want to around a big table in front of a studio audience, until an appropriate show title presents itself.

Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 16th June 2014Radio Times review
If you've ever wondered what it'd be like going for a pint with Noel Fielding, Jon Ronson, Kerry Godliman and Andrew Maxwell (I know I have), here's a chance to find out.
With no agenda, no theme and a trickle of booze, this blank-canvas chat show aims to re-create the informal intimacy of a pub conversation, and it works really well.
Alan gives his guests plenty of room to waffle, and Noel Fielding is excellent value as usual; particularly with the story about how he disappeared on tour, and was found the following day working in a vintage boutique in Brighton.
