  • Alan shares the magic of Norwich at Christmas - from jogging around the Cathedral, delivering gifts to sick children in hospital, and getting some private consumer time in Tandy.
    Taken From the Christmas Special of classic comedy Knowing Me Knowing You (1994) which saw Steve Coogan’s bumbling sports anchor character from The Day Today (1994) get a shot at his own “chat show.” This is Knowing Me Knowing Yule from 1995.

      Couple of things. Why do you feel the need to measure comedy against other comedy? And what the fuck is with measuring a 20+ year old clip of Alan Partridge with _Amy Schumer_ of all people? I mean, the IT Crowd is weird enough, but at least you're staying on the right side of the Atlantic with that. Although it's still weird. Hey, why not measure Buster Keaton against The Mighty Boosh against Carol Burnett against Eddie Murphy against Father Ted against Bill Hicks against The Krankies?

      This was shown to the studio audience at the recording of the 1995 Christmas special, so the laughter was the audience and not canned laughter.

      It's filmed in front of a live studio audience.

    Show the whole programme over Christmas instead of some of the dross you’ve put on.

    Partridge would be so much funnier without the audience, I feel like they cheapen the jokes when watching the old shows
