The Hairy Bikers' Pubs That Built Britain
Episode 1: Yorkshire
The likeable, jolly Northern bikers and foodies are back!
But rather than travelling the world and cooking up some exotic local dishes in exotic locations, this time the two best pals are travelling the length and breadth of Britain to check out some of the nation's pubs, unearthing hundreds of years of fascinating history hidden within them!
In this first episode, Si and Dave uncover 370 years of pub history in a Yorkshire pub believed to have been drunk dry by troops the night before the bloodiest battle of the English Civil War - the Battle of Marston Moor. Dave takes a lesson in battlefield fighting, while Si hears tales of Ripley Castle's famous lady - 'Trooper' Jane.
And in York, the Hairy Bikers learn the gruesome history of a pub which once doubled up as a hospital.

Cornwall
In this episode, Si and Dave take a trip back in time to Cornwall - England's most southerly and westerly county - where they discover pubs that were at the centre of an illegal industry in the late 1700s - smuggling!
Starting in the tiny fishing village of Polperro, they discover a smugglers' tunnel and a landlord with criminal connections.
Heading inland to Bodmin Moor, the Hairy Bikers visit the famous Jamaica Inn, where they discover how to make the tipple of the time - rum shrub.

Manchester
Si and Dave take a Manchester pub crawl to uncover historic boozers once at the heart of the city's industrial revolution.
Starting in Middleton, they discover politics, protest and plotting were rife in one of the pub's back rooms during the early 1800s.
They visit a local brewery to discover when and why beer became popular in Britain and they join a knitting group to find out why their Salford local is so important to the community.

The Lake District
Dave takes Si on a pub tour of his Lake District home patch, following in the footsteps of the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge.
On the way, they sample negus - a wine-based drink from the late 1800s - and battle it out in a traditional pub competition to find out who is 'The Biggest Liar'.
Watch it here:
Edinburgh
The Hairy Bikers' pub tour takes them to Edinburgh where they delve into the evil doings of Burke and Hare.
On the way they discover dark histories in pubs that witnessed murder, crime and gruesome punishments in the 1800s, and hear of a ghost who visits one of the city's oldest bars.
They also meet a pub folk singer who keeps the city's historic tales alive in his songs.
Watch it here:
South Wales
Dave visits the valleys of south Wales to uncover the history of some fascinating boozers and unearth pubs that were at the heart of the area's coal-mining communities.
On the way, he journeys underground to the coal face to find out what life was really like, meets an award-winning choir and drives a steam train that has a pub at the end of its line.
Watch it here:
The Great Fire of London
Si and Dave's historic pub tour takes them to London, where they discover inns that witnessed the Great Fire and pubs that watered the workers during the massive 50-year rebuild of the city. The Hairy Bikers start at a pub on the banks of the Thames where Samuel Pepys watched the fire sweep through the city. They also meet modern-day mud larkers who've uncovered fascinating finds in the muddy banks of the Thames - many of them linked to pub life in 1666.

Stalled (2013)
British comedy horror.
It's Christmas Eve, and a soon-to-be-sh*t-canned maintenance gopher (Dan Palmer) is changing light bulbs and cleaning toilets instead of drinking egg nog and making out with drunk receptionists at the annual office party. Unfortunately for this forlorn floor-sweeper, he chooses to use the ladies' restroom the very second a zombie outbreak occurs! Will he bowl us over and flush away the undead or (like in his pre-apocalypse life) simply remain ...Stalled?
