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

We chat teabags, desk audits and only children as we survey Alan's move into 'success' (hospital radio > Radio 4) and 'love' (Carol). Plus: A game of 'Partridge Amongst the Pixels' originally broadcast live on Facebook. Is kicking a pig 'in self defence' the worst thing Alan's ever done? Is asking for 'loads of salary' a good interview technique? And who or what is Gus Honeybun?

Starting our deep dive into I, Partridge, we tackle the first 4 chapters as Alan discusses childhood bullies and parental neglect, and we choose not to believe him. Also, we chat book sales, significant trees, 'b*llock-naked' ladies and are introduced to Rory Drunk. // We're live in London this November: postpoppodcasts.com/monkeytennislive

Crisp wars! Angry editors! Denton Abbey under threat! In the concluding part of our Scissored Isle double header, we head down a Radio Times rabbit hole, get tied in knots trying to organise a Twitter poll, and consider where this special sits amongst Alan's endeavours. // We're live in London on Nov 22nd! Tickets: postpoppodcasts.com/monkeytennislive

Coming to you live from MCM Comic Con in Manchester, Adam, Nick, Tom and Tom (plus Jed) scrutinise Alan's road to redemption in part 1 of our Scissored Isle special, discussing 'Tesco lifer' Pat Bevan, our supermarket/factory pasts and Lynn's grasp of YouTube comments, as well as deciding whether we'd eat a condom full of grapes or not. // Join us live in London on Nov 22nd (NOT 25th as we say in this episode).

We’ve bounced back and we’re ready to take a look over the best of your emails, tweets, and Facebook messages from the last few months. This sees us tackling some seriously large questions: What would Alan's wrestling finisher move be? How much would a ladyboy chaser cost in 2017? What will the new Alan show in 2018 be like? Along the way we also clarify our Clives (was it Anderson? Was it James?), reveal how you can now play Cards Against Alanity at your leisure, and launch our new Alan location mapping initiative: A Partridge Over Britain. Don't forget, we're hitting the stage at the Prince Charles Cinema on 22nd November for our Knowing Me Knowing Yule live show, featuring Simon 'Michael the Geordie' Greenall.

Team Monkey Tennis return for a mini episode, packed with good news and announcements, including: a new live show in Manchester this July, wild speculation about Partridge's forthcoming return to the BBC, and what to expect from us over the rest of the year.

...and on that bombshell, we end the current series with a look at Glen's love life, Alan's successors (diddldee dit-dedee) and of course, THAT fatal shooting. We also make a few visits to the FactCave, dissect Joe Beesley's failed joke and reveal which of the team is also known as 'Anal Chlorides'. As well as that we also.... um... ooh Cheeky Monkey, he's made us forget!

In this head-slapping, pen-stacking, fact-packing episode, we discuss our favourite car-crash interviews, how to deal with a dead guest, Alan's attempts to fix the Miss Norwich contest, the 'return' of 'Susan', and Partridge's political panel. Plus, we lift the cover on Stabb's Big Book of Babes and there's another chance to catch a round of Partridge Amongst The Pixels (originally broadcast live on Facebook).

Nick, Tom, Tom and Adam's Philosophical Steakhouse is open for business as we say bienvenue to Bernie Inns, rabies facts and Alan's styles. We also reveal the 'Boss of Beef', zoom in on Alan's blazer badge, discuss Glen's sacking and Tom Stabb's deodorant woes whilst sharing intel from an KMKYWAP insider.

Crack open a Sprünt and join us as we link Alan (or is it Alec?), hairy backs, Lou Bega, fake signatures, 'Mrs Winkle' and the 1936 Olympics. Plus: we discuss Alan and Glen's crumbling relationship, the fate of Sherlock Holmes the Victorian dog and the disappointment of Alan's Big Pocket. Take a chance on us (take a chance, take-take a ch-chance).

This week we investigate Tony La Mesmer's Daggers of Damazon, Alan's lack of prep, his dog's fear of sex and his doomed 'new regular features'. Plus: Minnie Driver! Spider hair! Noel Edmonds! Failed urine pouches!

There's SO much to discuss as we dive into Knowing Me Knowing You: Horse poo logistics. Alan vs Keith. Chalet facts. Doon's dubbing. Glen's mezzanine. Female drummers. Roger Moore's traffic jam. We also (Glen) ponder how it ever got commissioned and have a Rebecca Front love-in along the way. Plus we tackle all of these large questions: How many people watch Alan's show? What links Alan, Buffy and the Olivier awards? What's the show's Finnish name? Who is Gene Michael Jar?

Where did Alan get his name? Who 'made' Alan? Why is he obsessed with cleanliness (and groin injuries)? We go back to the start, to look at Alan's early broadcasts, unravelling the mystery of his (un)dead wife, playing a very horsey quiz and announcing our new live show along the way.

Ahead of the new series proper, we rifle through your emails and tweets to answer some pressing Alan queries from past series: Who is Michael's mystery houseguest? What would a Fernando spinoff look like? We also wade into the poloneck vs turtleneck debate, touch briefly (and carefully) on Saville, play a game of Partridge Amongst the Pixels and lose our minds over a pint glass - or is it a human leg?

In the second of our two-part live special; as the siege takes to the streets, we investigate the disappearance of a much-loved Geordie, discuss the logistics of roadshow van toilets, and finally figure out which of us sounds like Will from the Inbetweeners. Plus, members of the audience play Cards Against Alanity for prizes.

With help from Sue Cook and our live audience, we talk one-star reviews, corporate jargon and pub theft as we review Alan’s new house, turn against Danny Sinclair and are shocked at how far Dave Clifton has fallen. Recorded in front of a live audience on Nov 24th at The Prince Charles Cinema, London.

It's the last Monkey Tennis episode of the series, but don't be blue, Peter. We crunch the numbers to work out how many Toblerones Alan bought, whether driving barefoot is illegal and what happens if you only eat crisps? Plus, ever wondered if Partridge quotes can find you love? We have our first ever guest interview in the shape of Hannah, the creator of Love In The Key Of Partridge

In the penultimate episode of the series, we ponder where giant Beefeater bears come from, sing some Bill Withers and discuss British Isles breakfasts. PLUS, we consider how famous Alan is, how convincing 'fake Bono' is, and play a game of Alan's House or Adam's House.

Stop getting Alan wrong! This week we answer the big questions: Does VHS + juice = ruined? What are the secrets behind Sonja's Bono notebook? Who honked first - Tex & Michael or Jeremy & Mark? Plus, we discuss Lynn's speed-grieving, THAT pay-rise, Nick squares up to Gordon (figuratively) and we play Partridge or Morrissey. Glang! Glangalangalangalangalangalang.

We're all chubbed up on our cups o'beans this week, as we talk about Sonja's practical jokes, Lynn's stealth trumps and Alan's poor grasp of condiments. PLUS: we discuss how brave it is to lose a hand, play the Alan food quiz and Nick makes some 'very smart observations'.
