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.Return
