UK - Al Murray - aka The Pub Landlord - is hosting his own pub quiz on UK comedy channel Dave. Compete For The Meat - a parody in which contestants compete for the grand prize of a £3.99 frozen chicken - features lighting designed by lighting director Chris Kempton and supplied by Richard Martin Lighting (RML).
Chris Kempton's lighting specification relies on a wide and varied selection of equipment including a range of Clay Paky Alpha Beam 700s, Alpha Wash 1200s and Alpha Wash 700s.
In use for the first time was a new chrome version of the Alpha Beam 700. Developed for TV sets and interiors, the shiny chrome finish is designed to help the luminaire become less visible to the eye by reflecting light and blending into its surrounding environment.
The Alpha Beam 700 has become one of the most popular tools for television lighting work in the UK and abroad.
