Slap Bang with Ant & Dec is a television programme that was shown in the UK on ITV in 2001. It was presented by Ant & Dec. The show ran for 6 episodes (showed weekly, on Saturdays). Each episode featured, among other things, a brief sketch of a show called Beers, a parody of Cheers, centred around a pub. Beers opened with a depressing song:
There's a place I know where the people go when they're really feeling low,
Though they serve flat ale and the crisps went stale about a year ago. ...
You really shouldn't go because you won't come back again!
The happy hour is only from 10 to 5 past 10.
The lager's warm and the wine is brown,
(The next line is more or less inaudible)
Even the water is watered down at Beers.
You shouldn't go because you won't come back again.
The sequence of images accompanying this song ended with a sign being held up saying, "We lose".
Beers was similar to Chums, a parody of Friends that appeared on SMTV Live, and also featured Ant & Dec. They were similar in the respect that each began with a phrase of the form, "Beers/Chums is filmed ...", e.g. "Chums is filmed - why?" However, Beers lacked the cliffhangers of Chums.
