Monkey Tennis - The Alan Partridge Fan Podcast - Post/pop Podcasts

Lynn hits 70, Alan hits the wall and we hit Lazer Quest as the Footsteps of my Father™ walk finally begins, and Nick takes the reins. Along the way: Dark times in Denby's, we pit Alan's detective series' against one another, take a serious look at Gary Wilmot's wedding and meet... Adam Partridge?

Get more than your fair share this week, as we look at Alan's cluttered banking and charitable shaving. Also: We take the Believe In Better quiz, tackle the thorny issue of eating in bed, and Nick shows off his charity credentials. PLUS: Website conspiracies! Art Attack! Quavers! Alan's childhood home!

Alan bashes teachers, meets his 'geriatric nemesis', takes a pre-walk health check and strives to achieve QSPC, as we discuss how real celebs feature in the book, Quaddy emerges from the depths to scare the bejesus out of Nick and we introduce new feature "Where in the world is Jamie Theakston?" Come, let us fizz around your ears like a nagging ex-wife!

Cold opening: We're on Rocky (Rambo?) ground as Alan tries to save East Anglia in 4 minutes, slates Very British and Great British programming, and gets tricked into a BBC open day. Plus: We try to gauge Alan's radio habits, name the eighth deadly sin and play 'The Alan's Dead Dad Quiz'. Listen to the episode, our blurb seemed to suggest...

Guess who's big in the back time? Our Nomad deep dive begins with a look at how the book was launched, jacket quote-watch, Nomad vs. I, Partridge, the writing process, Denise's wedding and a discussion of how little really is known about legs.

Mr Cragg, hip-hop wordplay, and Hairy Mary's spoon loom large in the second of our feedback episodes. This week we cover your celebrity bank holiday fantasies, track down John the Builder, and imagine Alan: Rebooted

We're back with a fresh Alan attack, peeking at your feedback and mostly answering that. Including: Steve Coogan's (narrowly-avoided) driving ban, the forthcoming Partridge series, the real Simon Denton, long drawn out affairs, and, inexplicably, Les Dawson

We end the current series with a fond look back over This Time as a whole, including a check over the series DVD (including an exclusive reveal), as well as an update on what Alan (and we) are doing next. Plus: We pitch our own Partridge shows in Pitch-a-Partridge

We rifle through your feedback, featuring location tracking, bum scratching, Hull's 'elite' university, your calls and a celebration of Alan's birthday.

Simon steps up, Alan gets camp and Jennie is mad as hell: We review the last in the series (or season finale, if you like American things), covering plastic piddle pots, Simon + Lucy's podcast and Alan's brush with the bloys in blue. PLUS: Nick calls the emergency services by accident mid-podcast.

We hear from listeners in Ireland, Scotland (and China happened) as we rifle through your thoughts on the last few episodes of This Time, from math(s) problems to Alan's musical compositions, with wild theories, fish lasagne and an update on Lynn's salary along the way. #JustSackNick

Clantily scad fizzed-up squealers and sweary road-rage abound as we cover This Time's tash-hag MeToo episode, which is surprisingly light on gender equality but does feature an oyster disaster, an underwhelming trip to the library and the resurgence of raptallion

Feedback's been coming in its dozens and the MT hotline's ringing off the hook, so we've tackled your feedback on This Time, Alan's Comic Relief appearance and more, from Edmonds to shandy to easter eggs. We also take a look at his fundraising attempts ourselves. Watch out for those bins!

This week's episode is chock-full of illegal tortoises, programme pitch chat and Nick's fury at being cheated out of dogs. We also cover the sordid past of Pete Gabbitas, the boss-eye of Martin Brennan and the blossoming romance of Simon Denton in an episode that puts the 'metal' into 'metal trowel'

We hear from more FFOPs, fellow 'experts' and an Alan burlesque dancer as we wade through reactions, theories, and corrections regarding the APU (Alan Partridge Universe)

This week we talk smacking kids, onion ring excess and harrowing special effects. Plus: Theories build around the missing Michael, we enjoy a Ruth-off and almost catch our first glimpse of the elusive Denise. Do all dogs go to heaven?

We've got two episodes here: One for *you*, and... hi. We delve into your feedback with crackpot theories, voicemails and reactions to the latest instalments in the APU (Alan Partridge Universe) in this bonus episode

We talk live grieving, take a Partridge improv class and try to get John's shows commissioned before taking on nepotism with Sam, wandering hands with Jennie and the moral high ground with Alan. Try not to fall out of your seat, and keep an eye on that shuttlecock...

We have a flucking good time dissecting This Time's first episode, tackling Jennie's joke theft, oil spills, email hacktivism, dark Lynn, erotic hand-washing, tooth lapel secrets and cheap chops. Plus: Fan and press reaction, Predict-a-Partridge and highlights of Team MT on the BBC

The embargo is lifted and we can tell you what happened at the BBC's preview screening of Alan's new show, This Time With Alan Partridge (where we also heard from Steve and the writers/directors themselves). DON'T expect spoilers or episode specifics, DO expect insight into the new series, how much Lynn and Simon we'll see, a Michael bombshell, and some extensive namedropping as we report back from the BBC, of all places! (Be real!)
