Audible do a free 30 trial if that’s any help

I left em and they kept throwing me credits just when I randomly logged in

Guess what I "bought" with one of these credits...

Anyway outstanding podcast this, so many tiny details, can't possibly take it all in at once! I'm going to TRY to spread it out

I've got up to episode 14 of 18, it's amazing! I crack up laughing every time the theme tune is sung, it never gets old.

Feel like I should have been taking notes while listening as there's so much good content.

Not really spoilers but will hide anyway...

Spoiler

The little bits like the adverts (chips for vegans!) and his little apologies or corrections and explanations etc (WD40!) are inspired.

Stand out bit for me so far is the letter from the old guy in a home who worked at Bletchley Park, just outstanding, proper laugh out loud stuff and I'm still laughing every time I think about it.

The whole time capsule episode is brilliant and quite touching too. I think that's the one where he lists a certain few newspapers that give "a selection of viewpoints"

The audible fee is worth it for the theme tune alone.

That was absolutely hilarious. The set up and execution was superb. I keep remembering it too and laugh. I love moments like that.

I can;t get the theme tune out of my head.

Listening in the car this morning, I enjoyed his brief review of other podcasts, such as "How do you solve a problem like Ireland?" featuring a panel of English journalists, backbench MPs, and ex-Forces members. Questions like "How can you tell who the good ones are" and "Is it too easy for the Irish to travel" are discussed. One opinion - ban them from ferries, but not from planes, which should separate the wheat from the chaff.

Get on the latest episode of the Monkey Tennis podcast...great interview with Tim Key about his role as Sidekick Simon.

Yeah, heard that the other day, he’s a good egg is Key. Think they’ve got one with Susannah Fielding coming up too.

No More Jockeys is well worth a watch, if you’ve not tried it yet.

Susannah Fielding interview up on Monkey Tennis today, some tidbits on the new series of This Time, which is filming any time soon.

I'm Alan Partridge series 1 and 2 now available on HBO Max.

Watched the first two for the first time, and now episode 3 is on tap.

Love the podcast where he goes to Los Angeles and adopts an American twang.

He went to America by mistake. After he shot Forbes Mcallister, he was at a loose end after his BBC career ended, so texted Lyn and asked "What do now?"

She replied "LA", but meant to type "Lanyards", a reference to an exciting new business development Alan was involved in.

Through the hatch comes a tray of food. I paw at it listlessly until I notice it contains chicken nuggets.

And what chicken nuggets! These boast all the smoky zing of McCain Southern coating with the tenderest cuts of white meat.

The beans are lukewarm but not overcooked and a generous dollop of smash adds a buttery finish that sets the plate off beautifully.

To drink, a mug of steaming tea. A really, really good meal.

Yeah its in "I, Partridge" following his arrest for shooting Forbes McCallister on KMKYWAP.

"A bad breathed copper shouts in my face. I turn my head away from what I think is the odour of Walkers Smokey bacon. (Which I usually quite enjoy)"

"Please, Ive told you all I know. Please just let me go home. I'm doing a store opening for World of Leather tomorrow"

I think I need to read it again. Hands down the funniest book I’ve ever read. Much to my wife’s annoyance. (She’s not a comedy author, just annoyed her one holiday with my constant giggling).

Last episode was a bit of a let down - I feel there should have been a showdown with High Noon, or at least some pay-off.
