NOTE: I'm taking a chance that the employee, Mr. Paul Partridge, is referring to the character in the British TV series Knowing Me Knowing You and its spin-off I'm Alan Partridge. If there is anyone who is familiar with British TV, I invite you to correct me if this is an incorrect reference but this seems to be a character on a popular series to which Jean and Mr. Partridge were referring.

Knowing Me Knowing You

The erstwhile sports commentator and reporter, Alan Partridge, has turned his hands to something new, the BBC has given him his own chat show. The show is called Knowing Me Knowing You and he proves himself even more untalented as a chat show host than he was as a commentator. For those that don't know, all of the guests are actors. Glen Ponder is his band leader. In the Christmas special that was made (Knowing Me, Knowing Yule,) he was sacked from the show leading him on to pastures new in I'm Alan Partridge.

I'm Alan Partridge

The former sports commentator and chat show host, Alan Partridge, has moved back to Norwich where he hosts an early morning show on Radio Norwich following the live sacking from his chat show. He is living at a Travel Tavern on the road between Norwich and London following his wife leaving him. His Personal Assistant is the devoted Lynn. The hotel receptionists are Susan and Sophie (the latter generally bursts into giggling fits every time she speaks to Alan.) There is also Michael a geordie ex-squaddie working at the hotel. He hands his radio show over to Dave Clifton someone, presumably talented, who Alan really doesn't like very much.
