Ah-Ha! In 1995 Norwich's most famous son Alan Partridge made the transition from radio to ... more
TV with Knowing Me, Knowing You, a chat-show so
wholly misunderstood that one clever-clog TV
critic described it as "moribund". By way of
rebuttal, just consider Alan's parade of fantastic
guests, including a hypnotist who persuades Alan
that he's an owl; a US pop diva with whom Alan
shares a memorable Abba duet that happens to be in
all the wrong keys for him; raunchy male dance-act
Hot Pants; Cirque des Clowns, whose extreme
violence upsets Alan; and, most exciting of all,
Roger Moore (via mobile phone from a traffic jam
on the Chiswick roundabout).    Steve Coogan's
creation fell on hard times later--as chronicled
in the magnificent I'm Alan Partridge Series 1 and
 Series 2--but here he's revelling in his
prime-time exposure with no thought of becoming
"clinically sad" or gorging on Toblerone bars.
Co-writers Armando Iannucci and Patrick Marber
lovingly recreate everything that's fake and
contrived about the whole chat-show genre: the
shameless plugging, the recalcitrant celebs, the
novelty acts and, most of all, the insufferably
smug host oblivious to his own tediousness.
Coogan's regular guests are ably played by some
faces familiar from The Day Today: Rebecca Front,
Doon MacKichan, David Schneider and Patrick Marber
himself. Other game guest stars are John Thomson
(as a naval officer also called Alan Partridge)
and Minnie Driver (as a transsexual agony aunt),
not forgetting Steve Brown as disconcertingly gay
music director Glen Ponder.    The high-water mark
of Alan's career arrived with his Christmas
special Knowing Me, Knowing Yule in which his own
living room was lovingly recreated at Television
Centre. Unfortunately, and despite the presence of
Mick Hucknall, the new Chief Commissioning Editor
of BBC TV, Tony Hayers, is deeply unimpressed with
the show and gets punched in the face by Alan,
who, it turns out, is handy with a turkey. On that
bombshell, Alan's career took a downward turn.   
On the DVD: Knowing Me, Knowing You is a two-disc
set including all six episodes and the Christmas
special. There's a group commentary throughout
with contributions from Armando Iannucci plus
Patrick Marber, Rebecca Front, Steve Brown and
Dave Schneider speaking in and out of character.
Other extras include the original pilot show, Alan
on Comic Relief, Alan's rural rambles, his TV
trailers, plus stills and cast biographies. --Mark
