    Great to see Alan Partridge back presenting on the BBC where he belongs.

    I always thought they overreacted to events on Knowing Me Knowing You. Across seven episodes he only slipped up once, to my mind.

    I would say this:

    In Episode 1, no one died.
    In Episode 2, no one died.
    In Episode 3, no one died.
    In Episode 4, no one died.
    In Episode 5, no one died.
    In Episode 6, someone died.
    In Episode 7, no one died.

    I mean I could go on!

    doesn't sound like much scope for Alan's assistant* to be in this; though at least she's been keeping busy as the police chief in The Tunnel.


    *he never once gives her name in the books.

    Alan: Ah, that is the best Valentine's Day I've had in eight years.
    Jill: What did you do eight years ago?
    Alan: Just had a better one.
    Jill: What'd you do?
    Alan: Went to Silverstone. Shook Jackie Stewart's hand. Superb. My marriage fell apart soon after that.

    Michael: [in his very broad Geordie accent] Aye-aye, Mr. Partridge! Morning! Valentine's Day today, eh? Love is in the air!

    Alan: It's Valentine's Day today, and love is in the air?

    Michael: [nodding] Aye! Aye!

    Alan: I'm getting the hang of this! Mind you, I have been here ten weeks.

    "I will be the first person to throw my hands up and say in the past I developed a fairly robust hatred of the gay community – but that was before I met Dale Winton. And I realised I had absolutely nothing to worry about. The man was a perfect gentleman. I actually spent three days at The Earls Court Boat Show with Dale Winton, Paul O’Grady and Noel Edmonds – he’s not gay, but you get the picture."

    sidekick Simon - "did you enjoy India?"

    Alan - "I loved it, one of the best poor countries I've been to"

    I don't think Alan Partridge gets nearly enough credit for having Joe Beesley and Cheeky Monkey on his final KMKYWAP shoe.

    He was honouring a commitment he gave in Bournemouth 15 years earlier that if he ever made it big he would give Joe and Cheeky Monkey their chance on Television.

    Very few people would have remembered that pledge and even fewer would have seen it through.

    A man of honour.





    And yet somehow when people remember that episode it tends to be for the unfortunate incident where Alan accidentally tragically shot Forbes McAllister dead with Lord Byron's duelling pistol. I mean, Alan didn't know the gun was loaded and Forbes was a complete and utter sh1t anyway.
