Oz Clarke and Hugh Dennis return in Oz And Hugh Raise The Bar

Following the success of Oz Clarke and Hugh Dennis' Christmas special, the duo will team up again for a new BBC Two series, Oz And Hugh Raise The Bar.


What's the show about?

Wine expert Oz Clarke and comedian Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered, Mock The Week) are to set up the UK's most patriotic drinking establishment; a place that serves exclusively local produce, drunk according to tradition and customs.

Hugh is less of a drinker and more of a thinker, but now the lush and the lightweight are going on a journey together, where they'll meet that special breed of person with the passion to produce some of the best British drinks known to man or beast. From the traditional to the modern, the small professional to the not so small amateur the boys will see it all and Oz will teach Hugh everything he knows.

By travelling across the UK and Ireland, they will try and buy a range of drinks as potential stock for their cellars. But like a good cocktail, this series will have a twist; there are two bars in the drinking den, and they are in competition with each other. Alongside the traditional pub fare of beer and wine, they will be looking at snacks, soft drinks, and more unusual offerings such as pub games and British spirits.
