In this ground-breaking, four-part series, Al Murray and his alter ego, the Pub landlord, take us on an insightful romp through some of the toughest parts of British Imperial History.

From the Caribbean to Australia and South Africa to India, each country offers up their leading comedic talent to play host on a bracing historical road trip like no other.

Al and his host take the road less travelled. Certainly, by two comedians. They expose the brutal truths, modern day legacies and global impact of some of Britain’s greatest colonial conquests. Along the way, the Pub Landlord, has his say too - giving his unique and highly controversial take on every topical issue before Al brings it back to the raw facts. This is British history as it has never been told. At times as humorous as it is heart-breaking.

In each episode, experts and every day folk have their say as Al, with the help of his host, pieces together an honest account of what the British Empire really did in their country. How they did it. And who, if anyone, still cares.
