Product Description
Book Description
"Hi, I’m Alan Partridge. Three years ago I asked the BBC if I could host my own chat show. They said: ‘Alan you can’t. It won’t work.’ I said: ‘I can and it will.’ I have and it does. This is it. They say the art of conversation is dead. I, Alan Partridge, say sit back, relax and listen!"
This box set features the complete radio series of six episodes, plus a spoof behind-the-scenes documentary (Knowing Knowing Me Knowing You) and an edition of the BBC Radio 4 programme In Conversation featuring Steve Coogan. The four CDs are presented in individual wallet, and a showbiz-style booklet details the genesis of Alan Partridge and the series.

Format:Audio CD
Alan Partridge is, to my mind, one of the greatest British comedy creations of all-time. His ignorance, self-importance and arrogance is shocking yet delightful all at the same time.
This radio series is comedy gold from start to finish. I had originally purchased the individual CDs but was slightly disappointed to discover that they (like their cassette predecessors) had the episodes out-of-order.
So, I took a gamble when I bought this boxset because no where did it give us an episode listing. At least I would be getting a nice box and a fourth disc for my trouble.
I should not have feared, for this collection has all the episodes in the correct airing order.
The fourth disc comprises a spoof documentary set in the offices of 'Peartree Productions' and there is an episode of 'In Conversation with' starring Steve Coogan.
For fans of radio comedy, this collection is an absolute must.
Who can ever forget Simon Fisher, the child prodigy; Conrad Knight and his 'Conrad Knight Socks'; or the tyrannical and offensive Lord Morgan of Glossop?
If I were Tony Hayers, I'd have given him a second series, for sure...
For those interested, here is an episode list:
Disc One:
Programme One: Lawrence Camley, Ally Tennant & Adam Wells
Programme Two: Simon Fisher, Janey Katz & Nick Ford
Disc Two:
Programme Three: Michel Lambert, Shirley Dee & Chris Lester
Programme Four: The Duchess of Stranraer, Steve Thompson & Sandra Peakes
Disc Three:
Programme Five: Conrad Knight, Sally hoff, Bernie Rosen & Jack Carlson
Programme Six: Tony Hayers, Trudy Skye, Yvonne Boyd & Lord Morgan
Disc Four:
Knowing 'Knowing Me, Knowing You'
In Conversation with Steve Coogan
And on that bombshell...

do you know the petrol cap for a ford focus is on the offside rear? - if that means nothing to you this probably isnt the purchase for you, but if it sparks up images of action slacks and classic lines, you are fanatic enough to own this special edition box set. 4 cds featuring alan partridge before his failed tv career endered the screens. no fan can be with out.

I received this CD expecting all six episodes, as described by the other reviewers. However, my CD only contains 2 episodes. The other reviews posted on this page refer to a DIFFERENT CD, so make sure you read all the small print really carefully before buying.
These two episodes are the last two. They're very funny on their own, but even better if you've also got the other four!
