Al Murray (The Pub Landlord) was given a Sky1 TV series in September 2000 and the final show (number 36, across 2 series) was broadcast on May 1st 2002. The title was Time Gentleman Please.
Murray played the lead character, co-wrote it with Richard Herring and the script editor was Stewart Lee.
According to this Newsshopper article (and also this BBC one) Jimmy cut his teeth as a warm up man on this show (amongst others – see here).
Warm up comedians are not made note of, in the credits for TV shows, because they are never seen on screen.
I think we can safely assume it would have been S1, in 2000, as Jimmy started with his own TV appearances, on E4, in 2001. See “2001 TV” posts here.
