I liked Benidorm but haven't even heard of World of Pub.
Benidorm is definitely worth a watch!

Benidorm is brilliant. Fab characters completely over the top in every way.
Look out for the fantastic Madge.
Never seen the other one though.

Barry and Garry run a pub in the West End of London. Each week their friend, certified cockney geezer Dodgy Phil, comes up with scheme to attract more punters. For example, turning the pub into a Michael Caine-themed restaurant, or making it a pub-cum-bookshop. Usually this ends in disaster and the pub is destroyed.

Just seeing that still from Friday Night Dinner reminded me... I did catch part of an episode at some point. It obviously didn't grab me enough to seek it out again...

World of Pub, lovely gentle surreal comedy, with a few good observational laughs added in.
They only did 6 episodes, but any more and it could have got a bit too samey.
