Episode 6:
First Guests: The Alan Partridge Playmates
Professional dancers performed onstage with Alan in an excellent choreographed
routine, which revealed Alan's dancing skills. Alan then warned that some people
had been misusing his rubber face for robbing the NatWest, Sycamore Road, Corby,
and stated that his face was designed as a leisure accessory.
Second Guests: Scott and Dean Mc Clain, Child
Actors
The pint-sized child Hollywood stars chatted about their thoughts for the
future, and about their forthcoming movie. They offered Alan a part, and after
explaining that he could get Nick Owen to fill in for him at a sales-conference
for Nabisco at the Birmingham Metropole, he said he could take part. However, it
was revealed to be a joke, although Alan claimed that it was he who started the
joke. He presented them with a toy Batmobile, and complained about having his
bat-and-ball stolen by Steve Mc Coombe when he was a child- 'Where is the
justice in that?!?'
Third Guests: Bridie Mc Mahon and Wanda Harvey,
TV Presenters
The following week, Alan's show was to be replaced by a 24 week long series
entitled 'Off The Straight And Narrow.' Alan wasn't too impressed when they
suggested it meant their show was four times as good as his. Alan then proceeded
to list a catalogue of nicknames he and the lads in the office has invented for
ladies who 'swung the other way.'
Fourth Guests: Joe Beazley and Cheeky Monkey
After seeing Joe 12 years previously at a Hoseasons holiday camp, he went
backstage to promise him a big-break. However, nerves got to Joe and he fumbled
his jokes so badly, that Alan had to interevene to allow him to leave the stage
with some dignity. Cheeky Monkey was unceremoniously thrown in the corner. Guide

Fourth Guest- Raconteur And Bon Viveur, Forbes
Mc Allister
The restaurant critic for 'Spectator' magazine came on the show to display
the personal effects of Lord Byron, bought at auction for the sole purpose of
infuriating his arch-enemy Michael Winner. However, whilst examining Byron's
duelling pistols, Alan inadvertantly discharged one, shooting Forbes straight
through the heart, killing him instantly. The consumate professional he is, Alan
kept the show rolling, with the Balmoral Highland Pipers serenading the studio
and Alan inviting people to come along to the Texas Homecare which he was
opening in Manchester. At the end of the show, he was escorted off by the
police.
House Band: Glenn Ponder and Bangkok
