One of the first things I ever recorded on my second hand VCR was the first episode of the aforementioned I'm Alan Partridge. For the uninitiated we start the series (which I will come back to in greater detail during the countdown full) with Alan living, alone, in a motel equidistantly positioned between London and Norwich after the events of Knowing Me, Knowing Yule, the Christmas Special from 1995, (obviously I can't include later) in which he punches Tony Hares, the Chief Commissioning Editor of BBC Television and is told he will never work on the BBC again. After coming up with some of the worst pitches ever, that ironically wouldn't seem out of place on TV nowadays ( Arm Wrestling With Chas & Dave, Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank, Inner-City Sumo, Cooking in Prison and finally Monkey Tennis.) Alan turns the conversation to food and drink.
Think of this as #101.
