Alan Partridge Knowing Me, Knowing You Season 1 Episode 1 Episode 1

Alan Partridge: Knowing Me, Knowing You is a British comedy mockumentary TV show that aired on BBC Radio in 1992, and then on TV in 1994. The show stars Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, a radio and TV personality who is hilariously inept at interpersonal communication.

Episode 1 opens with Alan Partridge introducing himself and his new show, Knowing Me, Knowing You. Alan is excited to have his own show and promises his listeners "a rollercoaster ride of emotions" as he interviews famous guests and discusses current events. However, despite his enthusiasm, it quickly becomes clear that Alan is not quite as smooth as he thinks he is.

Throughout the episode, Alan interviews his first guest, Roger Moore, and struggles to keep the conversation flowing smoothly. He interrupts Roger, asks awkward questions, and even insults him at one point. Alan's efforts to save the interview only make things worse, and he ends up humiliating himself and alienating his guest.

In addition to his interview with Roger Moore, Alan also takes calls from listeners and discusses various topics, including the new toll road and "the difference between men and women". However, his attempts at humor and insight are met with confusion and disinterest from his listeners. Alan's arrogance and self-delusion are on full display, as he refuses to admit that he is not as charming as he thinks he is.

Overall, Episode 1 of Alan Partridge: Knowing Me, Knowing You is a hilarious introduction to the character of Alan Partridge. Steve Coogan's performance is spot-on, and the show's use of mockumentary-style interviews and segments adds to the comedy. With its cringe-worthy moments and absurd humor, Alan Partridge: Knowing Me, Knowing You is a must-watch for fans of British comedy.
