Six BBC Radio 4 episodes featuring the chat show host from hell, Alan Partridge, plus two bonus radio programmes, Knowing Knowing Me, Knowing You and In Conversation with...Steve Coogan A-ha! Here’s where the Partridge phenomenon began - the entire series of the legendary, squirm-inducing radio show presented by the king of chat himself. In these six hysterically excruciating episodes, Alan faces up to a child prodigy, probes his phobias with a lady hypnotist and argues with a young bad-boy lawyer. He meets a former hostage, a showbiz cockney and France’s second-best racing driver; welcomes a Duchess, an impressionist and a Junior Minister; and is live from Las Vegas with a professional gambler. But attempts to gain favour with BBCTV’s commissioning director don’t go too well, and an interview with a maverick Lord ends on a bombshell when he dies mid-anecdote on Alan’s sofa. Starring Steve Coogan, with guests played by Rebecca Front, David Schneider, Patrick Marber and Doon Mackichan, this is light entertainment at its finest. Also included are the spoof behind-the-scenes feature ‘Knowing Knowing Me, Knowing You’ and interview programme ‘In Conversation with… Steve Coogan’, in which Coogan discusses his life and career with former BBC controller of entertainment Paul Jackson.
