Petrol Station

1. The Talented Mr Alan

Alan, now 47, is making a comeback. He's got the late-night slot on Radio Norwich and is hosting a military gameshow on cable TV called Skirmish. He is living in a "luxury static home" (caravan) on a building site and has a Ukrainian girlfriend called Sonja, who is 14 years younger than him. Loyal Lynne is still his PA while Jordie Michael is now working at the local petrol station.

2. The Colour Of Alan

After a book signing in Norwich Railway Station, Alan attempts to climb over the fence at the Choristers club after forgetting his security pass. He pierces his foot on the railings, however despite losing about a pint of blood he still makes it to a conference he was meant to be speaking at.

3. Brave Alan

Alan meets Kitchen shop owner Dan Moody at the petrol station. Alan and Dan both love Directors Bitter, use Lynx deodorant and drive a Luxus car. Through Dan, Alan is introduced to the elite of Norfolk; specifically Mike Yapley, owner of Car Supermarket on the A47 and Karen Colman of mustard fame.

Never Say Alan Again

Alan is planning to watch every James Bond film back to back at the weekend but doesn't invite Micahel when he realises he has other friends, instead he invites John the builder. Lynn introduces her new boyfriend, ex-copper Gordon. He orders Alan to treat his PA with a good deal more consideration and so Alan is forced to give Lynn a pay rise.

5. I Know What Alan Did Last Summer

The Inland Revenue turn up to investigate Alan's finances. That isn't his only problem though as girlfriend Sonja keeps buying him Beefeater Bears, toy London cabs, toy buses, even a Marble Arch cake. Things go really bad when Sonja insists on meeting Alan's 'old friend' Bono from U2.

6. Alan Wide Shut

Despite his new house being ready to move in to, Alan is on edge. 14,000 surplus copies of his book "Bouncing Back" are to be pulped and he's very sensitive about it. Lynn is baptised at Sprowston Baptist Church and Alan makes a rather ill-judged speech which involves miming a suicide by shotgun. The series ends with 14,000 copies of Alan's book being pulped.
