Aha - Alan Partridge
Aha - Our Alan Partridge Page


Aha... You've reached our Alan Partridge page. Media star fallen from fame, you either love or loathe Steve Coogan's creation, the marvellous Mr Partridge. As there are so many AP sites out there, this page won't even attempt to pay homage to all that's Alan Partridge... it's merely a link to other AP places, and some pointers to where the various versions of Partridge's career highlights can be obtained...

Alan in Action

Radio cassette

Knowing Me, Knowing You (The Radio series)

Alan Partridge in fine form. Most of us have seen (and cringed at) the TV series, but have you heard the pre-telly Radio 4 series?
If not, get the cassettes! They contain six episodes of the BBC radio chat show aired way before Alan made it to telly. In my opinion, much better than the TV series. Click for details of the BBC Radio 4 series on cassette.

The radio series are also available for download to your PC or MP3 player direct from Audible.co.uk

Knowing me, knowing you VHS Knowing me, knowing you DVD

Knowing Me, Knowing You (The TV series)

Spoof interview show on the BBC. You'll find the six-part BBC TV series available from Amazon on video and DVD.

Note: The original DVD was withdrawn shortly after release, for copyright issues. However, it was re-released in October 2003 as a two-disc DVD, including all six episodes, the Christmas special (Knowing Me, Knowing Yule), plus a stack of bonus material... including a group commentary, the original pilot recording in 1994, Alan's appearances for Comic Relief, Alan's rural ramble, TV trailers used to promote the show, plus stills and cast biographies. An excellent DVD, and with 247 minutes of content, it's a bargain at under £15 from Amazon

Knowing Me, Knowing Yule

Knowing Me, Knowing Yule

A one-off Christmas special sees Alan trying to claw his way back into favour with the BBC in a mock tudor replica of Alan's house - with a little help from a local Norwich Rover dealer. Rarely repeated, this is available on VHS from Amazon. You'll also find it amongst the Knowing Me, Knowing You DVD extras. It's also available on a BBC audio cassette

I'm Alan Partridge Series 1

I'm Alan Partridge - Series 1

The DVD contains commentaries by Alan Partridge, Lynn, his PA, Steve Coogan, Armando Iannucci and Peter Baynham. There's also a sizable selection of deleted scenes with a few out-takes. Also available, but without the bonus material, on BBC video. Additionally, two episodes are available on a BBC audio cassette

I'm Alan Partridge Series 2

I'm Alan Partridge - Series 2

Series 2 sees Alan moving up in the world... He's out of the Travel Tavern, has kicked his Toblerone addiction, has a girlfriend (cashback!), and is back on the telly (UK Conquest). Series 2 of I'm Alan Partridge ran on BBC2 from 11th November 2002.

Series 2 was released on the 10th November 2003 on DVD and video.

Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word

I'm Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word

Yep, as of late 2003, Alan's finally in print. No, this isn't the expected spin-off Bouncing Back, this is the book of the scripts - all of the words from the Radio and TV series, including the Christmas special and both series of I'm Alan Partridge. 440 pages with a selection of photos in the middle, this is an ideal gift for partridge fans.
Every Ruddy word cam be ordered online from Amazon in hardback for under £12..
