This is 'THE' definitive Alan Partridge show.

Quotes from the show just stick in your brain and then wander back from time to time to bring a smile to your face or a surpressed chuckle. I bought the cassette tapes a while ago and now I'm buying this box set because this is just such good quality comedy. I've listened to the tapes over and over and over and now they're warn out. They just get funnier after each listening because of all the little bits you missed.
If you thought the KMKYWAP chat show series wasn't quite firing on all cylinders, listen to this to understand how perfect the format is on radio.
Listen out for the interviews that are totally unforgettable Partridge: The Duchess of Stranraer, Simon Fisher, Janey Katz, Shirley Dee, Steve Thomson, Conrad Knight, Bernie Rosen and of course Alan's (now ex) nemesis the evil Tony Hayers.

I swear you will NOT believe how hilarious this is.
If you haven't got this you're missing out big time......and to be honest in my book that makes you a "blond bastard.......from the future" and on that bombshell A-Haaaaaaa

These six shows from Knowing Me Knowing You the radio series, are hillarious. This is pre-Alan. If you follow Alan Partridge`s way through life, you are missing some of the first broadcastings he ever did and these are possibly funnier than any other stuff he has done. Pop in the CD`s, sit back and listen to the antics of a child hitter, a book critic, a cocaine taker, a gambler....the things Alan gets up to!

Classic. Steve Coogan rocked the radio world with Alan Partridge only to do it again on TV. This is Alan in his infancy and well worth paying out for... AHA!

Then you will be amazed at how much better this is than any of the TV stuff. I used to listen to this on Radio 4 and Radio 1, when Morris had his classic 'on the hour' show, which aired at 8-9 PM every wednesday night. Unfortunately, other than a few recordings a friend made this classic is lost to the world. Not that that really matters. So this stuff by coogan and Marber et al is left from the original radio show on Radio 4 (I think) and really is better than the TV. Alot of the content from the shows, like Smelly alan fartridge' comes from the radio. But because it was presumably more ad lib on the raido it has an edge over the TV.

I would buy it if I were you.
