      Walking away from the pulping plant after seeing 'Bouncing Back' being pulped.. Alan appears to take this latest disappointment quite well.

      Knowing Me, Knowing You.

      Lexus. He is very proud of what he drives.

      Return of the Saint. From the episode 'Never say Alan again', where he agrees to take Lynn to her mother's grave but only gives her ten minutes.

    What is Alan's favourite drink?Alan Partridge - The Man, The Myth, The Legend! (jon_watson)

      Sprunt. Alan's illegal advertisement of Sprunt goes horribly wrong for him when he finds himself in the jacuzzi with 'Hot Pants'. Alan had thought that they were women, but it turned out that they were not. He looks distinctly uncomfortable.

    What embarrassing artefacts are in Alan's drawer in the Travel Tavern?Alan Partridge - The Man, The Myth, The Legend! (jon_watson)

      We never find out. We never actually find out what Alan keeps in the drawer... but the mind reels in a number of unpleasant directions! Lynn accidentally opens it and Sophie steals a peek, but the audience is not let in on the contents. The hotel staff is also found crowding around it at Alan's leaving party.

    What does Alan sing to Jill on Valentines Day....badly?'I'm Alan Partridge!' (FixXxer)

      Close To You.

    What does Alan say to Tony Hayers when he doesn't get his second series?Alan Partridge - The Man, The Myth, The Legend! (jon_watson)

      "Smell my cheese.". Alan: [Sniffs the large block of cheese on the end of his fork] "Mmm. Quite nice. Smells. Do you want to smell it?" [He offers the cheese to Tony.] Tony: "No thanks." Alan: "Smell the cheese." Tony: "No I don't want to." Alan: [More forcefully] "Smell my cheese!" Tony: "Alan, please." [Alan stands up thrusting the cheese at Tony] Alan: [Shouting] "Smell my cheese, you mother!" The lap dancing scenes are (fortunately for Alan's already fairly damaged career) all in his head.

    What does Alan say after saying he has a girlfriend fifteen years younger than him?'I'm Alan Partridge' A-haaaa (shandybang)

      Back of the net. This is where Alan meets one his high school classmates and tries to impress him.

    What does Alan say after he's been told he's going to be back on television?'I'm Alan Partridge' A-haaaa (shandybang)

      Jurassic Park. This is from the last episode of series one. Tony Hayes (the head of the BBC) has just died from falling off his roof and one of his old friends takes over his job and offers his TV slot back.

    What does Alan accuse Peter Baxendale-Thomas of feeding to swans?Alan Partridge - The Man, The Myth, The Legend! (jon_watson)

      "Beefburgers.". Funnily enough, all of these answers have been involved in the conversation with Peter. The mutated plums are from Alan's accusation that Peter has plums in his mouth... "and the plums have mutated and they've got beaks". The spinal column in a bap one is from Alan's assertation that a farmer that didn't laugh at his joke must have eaten an infected spinal column in a bap and that it was this that hade made him a little slow on the uptake. Chips are another unlikely foodstuff that Alan accuses Peter of feeding to his animals, but it is donkeys that Alan thinks Peter feeds chips to, not swans.

      Fitness Instructor. 'He drinks that yellow stuff in tins. He's an idiot'

    Alan's catchphrase on his talkshow, what is it?'I'm Alan Partridge!' (FixXxer)
