Time Gentlemen Please is a British sitcom primarily written by Richard Herring and Al Murray and broadcast on Sky One from 2000 to 2002.
The Governor is an evolution of Al Murray's stage persona "The Pub Landlord", which he had used in stand up since 1994.
Other Significant Characters: The exterior shots of the pub were filmed at The Cowshed public house (formerly The Admiral Blake), at the corner of Barlby Rd and Ladbroke Grove, London W10, since demolished and rebuilt as a residential block circa 2013.
In the Christmas Special, Guv repeats the 'When a child is born' routine from one of Murray's tours.
After Universal showed no plans to release any further episodes of the series onto DVD, ITV DVD later released a complete collection of the series featuring all 37 episodes on 16 March 2009.
In February 2020, Al Murray started releasing one episode of Time Gentlemen Please per week on his official YouTube channel.
