SERIES 1 - Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge - First broadcast 1994
|
 |
Programme 1
Alan's guests were show jumper Sue Lewis, who refused
to play along with the jumping trial, Keith Hunt a
lively presenter who Alan surprised by revealing his son and
singer Shona McGough, who had an ugly mood swing whilst
performing. Final guest Roger Moore got stuck in traffic thus
making Alan's 'An Audience with Roger Moore' a bit
of a let down.

Programme 2
Playboy's Agony Aunt Daniella Forest turned out not
to be quite what she appeared and hypnotist and magician Tony
Le Mesmer scared Alan by throwing knives at him in the
second show. Alan's final guests in this episode were a famous
Hollywood couple, the interview went downhill when he asked
the ex-engineer actor to mend a photocopier

Programme 3
An American Singing Star, a sleazy Fleet Street reporter
and the 1936 Berlin Olympics women’s hurdles relay team
were the guests insulted by Alan in this third episode. The
show also featured Hot Pants, Europe's hottest dance act who
didn't quite turn out to be the same sex as Alan had anticipated.

 |
Programme 4
Things really went downhill in the fourth French-Themed Knowing
Me, Knowing You broadcast in which Alan insulted a French
Chef and a Fashion Designer. Alan also got a little irritated
when the Light Comedy Act's content turned rather adult and
Glen Ponder (the show's band) ganged up on him causing him
to fire them live on air.

 |
Programme 5
With Glen Ponder back (pending an industrial tribunal) things
are a little tense in the studio during the penultimate broadcast.
Alan's first guest, suspected murderer and gangland criminal
Terry Norton didn't help things. Unsurprisingly the political
debate Alan hosted didn't go too well either with war breaking
out between the Tories, Labour and the head-slappers (lead
by Lt. Col. Kojak Slaphead III).

 |
Programme 6
Hollywood kids, Alan Partridge masks, lesbians, some poor
comedy from Cheeky Monkey and a snooty restaurant critic send
Alan round the bend in the final episode of the series. Things
end fittingly when Alan is arrested for accidentally shooting
and killing the critic Forbes McAllister live on air.

Knowing Me, Knowing Yule (Christmas Special)
In this Christmas Special (which is still presented as if
it were a real, live TV show) Alan manages to totally and
utterly ruin his chances of getting a second series by punching
Chief Commissioning BBC Editor Tony Hayers, setting fire to
the set, irritating the studio audience and insulting the
guests.
