Al Murray bathes in The Ganges for new Sky History series<\/h3>\n

Al Murray has declared he “can’t be ashamed” of the British Empire, despite its disputed and controversial past, in an exclusive chat with Express.co.uk.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he regards it as a source of pride or a source of shame, the comedian adamantly declared: “Neither!<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a really interesting thing which tells you an awful lot about people, power, money and race. It’s a thing to be interested in.<\/p>\n

“[However], I don’t feel pride or shame, because it’s nothing I did. I can’t take pride in anything I didn’t do and I can’t be ashamed for anything I didn’t do.”<\/p>\n

He says he’s uncertain whether the series will change the way that Brits from different cultures and backgrounds interact with each other – and that he’s determined not to lose sleep over it.<\/p>\n

“If you make a programme and you’re worried about that, then you’ll end up never making a programme. No, I just hope people are entertained and learn some stuff from it,” he explained.<\/p>\n

However, the show revolves around the perspectives of those who were affected by the empire, so he’s picked a comedian or media personality from each country to help him unravel those mysteries.<\/p>\n

“Rather than it be British people shouting to each other about the empire, [we decided to] get the people from the countries that we’re interested in,” Al revealed.<\/p>\n

He teamed up with Anuvab Pal in India, Chris Daley in Jamaica, Loyiso Gola in South Africa and Kevin Kropinyeri in Australia.<\/p>\n
