Here is where it all began. Where Alan Partridge, chat show supremo, moved off On the Hour's sports desk and into the mainstream, for a spot of raw emotion and some hilarious anecdotes on the sleek studio sofas.

The talents that led him to become one of the country's top presenters are all too apparent here, as he puts incisive and ground-breaking questions to a host of celebrity guests including child prodigy Simon Fisher, who doesn't know what's hit him (Alan has. as it happens). Lady hypnotist Janey Katz taps into Alan's childhood phobias, and wideboy gay lawyer Nick Ford finds that Alan's tolerance is limited. Attempts to gain favour with BBC TVs commissioning director don't go too well, fashion designer Yvonne Boyd gives Alan an eyeful, and political maverick Lord Morgan of Glossop regales him with tales of his colourful past.

Light entertainment at its finest. A-ha!
