Knowing Steve, Knowing You

Saturday 23 February
9.00am-12.00pm
BBC RADIO 4 EXTRA

Alan Partridge is back on primetime television. To tie in with his brand new series This Time With Alan Partridge, Radio 4 Extra broadcasts Steve Coogan in conversation with the novelist and screenwriter Frank Cottrell-Boyce, talking about his life and career.
The three-hour special features interviews with John Thomson, Henry Normal, Michael Winterbottom, Simon Greenall, Graham Duff, Sioned Wiliam and Steve Brown.

Knowing Steve, Knowing You also features archive material including:

• Knowing Knowing Me, Knowing You: Alan Partridge Documentary (1993), where the hapless host takes a fly on the wall, behind-the-scenes look at Pear Tree Productions
• Nebulous - The Buzzing (2006) where Professor Nebulous battles against giant, murderous insects in the Sci Fi comedy with Mark Gatiss and guest star Steve Coogan
• Extracts from Hey, Rrradio!!! (1988) in which Steve Coogan makes his national radio debut on Radio 1 in 1988 with A Question Of International Revolutionary Politics in the comedy cabaret extravaganza
• The Word Made Fresh (1988) which sees Steve Coogan performs his early comedy creation Duncan Thickett in this curtain raiser to the first BBC Radio Young Writers Festival
• Front Row (2010) where Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon talk to John Wilson

Plus, from Tuesday 19 February-Sunday 24 February, 10.30pm- 11pm 4 Extra will broadcast Knowing Me, Knowing You, where Alan hosts his own show - but has more interest in himself than his guests.

I've just realised it's you, how the devil are you?

"I just want to be able to say 'I'm Alan Partridge. Join me tonight when my guests will be, I don't know, Chris Rea'.

Actually, he lives in the area. I could have had him over.
'Alright Chris!'

'Hello Alan I didn't know you'd moved in'

'Yeah, just moved in, last week. I'm having a barbecue, fancy coming over?'

'I'd love to! Do you mind if I bring my guitar?'

'I'd rather you didn't, it's not that kind of area. Do you like Mini Kievs?'

'I love them! But my wife's vegetarian'

'Doesn't matter. She can have fish'

'No she won't eat that either'

'Oh forget it!. You people'."

I doubt Neville has a sense of humour though. He's the king of the sex workers but probably hasn't laughed in about 40 years.

‘Do You know you’ve got chocolate on your face’
‘Yeah I’ve just been eating some mousse’

I think the Irish are going through a major image change. I mean, the old image of Leprechauns, shamrock, Guinness, horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons, people with eyebrows on their cheeks, badly tarmacced drives – in this country, men in platform shoes being arrested for bombings, lots of rocks, and Beamish. I think people are saying “yes, there’s more to Ireland than this”. A good slogan for the tourist board – “Dere’s more to Oireland dan dis.”

lol

I would genuinely love to know someone like partridge .toothless simpleton is a classic
