"A Room with an Alan"
"The string-back just gives you a bit of extra purchase."
Alan's living in a hotel as his wife's thrown him out in favour of a gym instructor. Things aren't going well career wise but all this could change as he has a lunch appointment with Tony Hayes the commisioning editor for the BBC at the end of the week so Alan decides to buy a house.

VANDALISM |
|
 
Sub-human scum swore all over my car "COCK PISS PARTRIDGE". What is that anyway? Hanging's too good for them, Batards. Fortunately Michael managed to change it to "COOK PASS BABTRIDGE" which… is better.
I blame the parents. |
The dinner with Tony Hayes goes badly.
Alan's programme ideas
Swallow
A detective series based in Norwich. Swallow is a detective who tackles vandalism. Bit of a Maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it's necessary - he's not a criminal - but he will, perhaps, travel at 80 miles an hour on the motorway if, for example he wants to get somewhere quickly. No one had heard of Oxford before 'Inspector Morse'. This will put Norwich on the map.
Alan Attack
Like the 'Cook Report' but with a more slapstick approach.
Arm Wrestling with Chaz and Dave
Knowing M.E. Knowing You
I, Alan Partridge, talk to M.E. sufferers about their condition. We intersperse it with their favourite pop-songs, make it light hearted, give them a platform, you've got to keep the energy up.
Innercity Sumo
Take fat people from the inner cities, put them in big nappies, then get them to throw each other out of a circle that we draw with chalk on the ground. Very cheap to make, you could do it in a pub car park.
Cooking in prison
A Partrdge Amongst the Pigeons
Errrr… Opening sequence: Me in Trafalgar Square feeding the pigeons going 'Oh God!'.
Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank
Monkey Tennis
"Smell my cheese!"
Bit of a mini-bar accident.
