Summary

To many people the noughties was the golden age of pubs; pints for £2, The Pigeon Detectives and Babyshambles blasting out the jukebox, everyone dressed in the skinny jean / blazer combo… what’s not to love?! And even though The Moon Under Water has existed for centuries it’s able to morph itself into a pub from any given period in time. This week’s guest is someone that lived and breathed noughties pubs, and don’t be surprised if he creates a pub reminiscent of the ‘Topman’ era. It’s comedian and writer Liam Williams!

Liam is the creator of the award winning sitcom ‘Ladhood’, which follows his life growing up in the Yorkshire town of Garforth. It details his first encounters with pubs, alcohol and everything that comes with early drinking experiences. He’s also lover of pubs no matter their shape or size, and we are so excited to hear what sort of establishment he is going to create (with or without skinny ties included).

1:20.2	Sorry, I'm just reading from my to-do list.
1:22.3	I've got to clean the well four times.
1:26.9	I'll do it tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow. There's a well here at the moon underwater.
1:32.3	It's sort of a wishing well, but the problem is that all your wishes come true in the moon
1:38.3	underwater. So I'm thinking of actually decommissioning the wishing well, because you can
1:43.8	have too much of a good thing.
1:45.8	And, you know, once the perfect pub has revealed itself, has revealed all your favorite drinks
1:51.1	and all your favorite people, furnishings, brasses, music volume, music style, the last thing
1:57.5	you want to do is chuck 50 quid down a wishing wealth for goodness sake.
2:01.8	Is that, um...
2:03.5	Oh, I should put it's, it's minimum, it's minimum 50 quid for the wishing well.
2:08.3	But your wishes definitely, your wishes definitely come true.
2:10.9	Oh yeah, they all come true.
2:12.8	Um, the only thing you can't wish for is less wishes.
2:15.9	Fewer wishes.
2:19.3	Uh, no, less wishes. You can't wish, less wishes. You can wish for less wishes. You can wish for fewer wishes, but you can't wish for less wishes because it's
