Al Murray's Great British Pub Quiz pits the UK's most passionate pub quiz teams against each other.

The show is hosted by multi-award-winning comedian, trivia fanatic and writer-performer Al Murray. Each week from his studio pub, Al (with no burgundy blazer in sight) brings together teams from the country's best-loved pubs from all over the UK, in a head-to-head battle to bask in the glory of being crowned winner, and the chance to take home the Great British Pub Quiz tankard plus £1,000 in cash.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience, Al is ably assisted each week by resident barman and brainbox, national institution and know-it-all Shaun Williamson. A multiple TV quiz champion himself, (Celebrity Mastermind winner, three-time Celebrity Pointless winner, Celebrity Eggheads winner and The Chase winner), Shaun is on hand to keep score and proceedings in order, as well as going head-to-head with one member from each team in a special round, 'Beat the Barman'. Kerry Godliman and Phil Jupitus kick off the brand news series as this week's team captains.
