Notes
[edit]- ^ The title of the show changed after Duncan Bannatyne's interview to "Bannatyne's Happy Hour" – he likes to attach his name to his assets. (e.g. Bannatyne's Casino).
- ^ At the end of the final episode of the first series, Al Murray awakes in bed from sleep thinking that his singing with Queen was a dream. He then looks around to find Queen next to him in his bed.
- ^ First episode where one of the main three guests sang. Cerys, who only sang the Queen cover, was chosen over James Blunt, who was promoting his new album. First episode where the Queen cover was a reprise of a cover performed in a past episode.
- ^ Al, at one point, gets the whole audience to shout "Shame on you!" towards Eddie Murphy because of his false claims over the paternity of Mel B's second child.
- ^ Al, at one point, gets the whole audience to shout "Shame on you!" towards Floyd Mayweather Jr. because he beat Ricky Hatton to destroy his winning streak.
- ^ The intro music for all three guests was an Oasis song ("Rock and Roll Star", "Magic Pie", and "Morning Glory" for James, Grint, and Smith respectively), presumably to irritate Blur bassist Alex James.
- ^ The first time that the second song has not been a Queen song.
- ^ Instead of singing one Queen cover, the New Kids on the Block performed a medley of songs including We Will Rock You and We are the Champions
- ^ Des O' Connor sang I Want to Break Free as a big band number
