Oz and Hugh Raise the Bar is a BBC television programme in which wine personality and expert Oz Clarke and comedian and actor Hugh Dennis travel across Ireland and the United Kingdom in order to sample and discover the wide array of British and Irish Alcoholic beverages.
He has served as the wine correspondent for the Daily Telegraph and was previously featured on the BBC Two programme Food and Drink.
[2] In the premise of those shows, Clarke was the beverage expert with James May serving as the "wingman" who was not as knowledgeable about the subject.
In December 2009, Clarke was paired with comedian Hugh Dennis, a self-described "half a bottle drinker", to produce a similar odd couple dynamic in a one-off special entitled Oz and Hugh Drink to Christmas.
Oz Clarke and Hugh Dennis are on a mission to revive the good old British pub.
