    KMKYWAP was brilliant. "Knowing me Alan Partridge knowing you the Police, a-ha"

    I love the Day Today. This is one of my personal favourites. NSFW if you work somewhere that disapproves of heavily compressed implied nudity.

    Lynn has some great lines too!

    In Alpha Papa after he gets Pat (Colm Meaney) sacked.

    Alan: I've got to be honest, Lynn, I'm feeling pretty crummy.

    Lynn: Pat's Irish, isn't he?

    Alan: To be sure.

    Lynn:     Why don't you donate £50 to Sinn Fein?

    Alan: I will

    In fact his whole fascination with the IRA is hilarious.

    I do like that toilet. It's very futuristic, isn't it? Very, sort of, high-tech, space age. I can imagine Buck Rogers taking a dump on that. In the twenty-first century

    "How much is it on the market for?"

    "£325,000"

    "Oh, will you take £324k?"

    I use so many Alan Partridge quotes in everyday conversation! Also, in my username :)

    When Alan tells Ben he's a beatles fan, Ben asks, what's your favourite beatles album.

    Alan replies: I would have to say, the best of the beatles.

    Yes, it's an extender! Fantastic. That is the icing on the cake.

    I always love Alan's interactions with Michael - it's a shame he's not in Mid-Morning Matters...

    Michael: So, are we having the full English breakfast?
    Alan Partridge: Yes, please. Can I have my sausages burnt to a crisp, please? So that they can only be identified by reference to their dental records.
    Michael: OK. Either that or their fingerprints, eh?
    Alan Partridge: Can you fingerprint a sausage?
    Michael: Yeah, well, I suppose technically y'could, aye.
    Alan Partridge: I suppose if I was a burglar and I wanted to avoid detection I could strap sausages to my fingers. Probably survive a couple of break-ins before they started to fall apart.
    Michael: Aye. Maybes, maybes just have, like, a beefburger for your palm, y'know?
    Alan Partridge: No, that's a bit too far-fetched. I do enjoy these chats in the morning.

    For me the best episode of I'm Alan Partridge was "Watership Alan". I still cry when i see it. My favourite quote is probably the rant he goes on about the farmers.

    "You are a big posh sod with plums in your mouth, and the plums have mutated and they have got beaks. You make pigs smoke. You feed beef burgers to swans. You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going, "Oh why am I so massive?" and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small. Do you deny that? No, I think his silence speaks volumes"
    That and the
    "Old Robert a bit slow on the uptake there, dunno what he had for breakfast this morning... Presumably an infected spinal column in a bap"
    Dr. No, Vocal Chrods is another classic.
