I am hopping mad and I want something in the middle. Aha! Ypsolutely, yop, yop, absolutely. Bonkey tennis? Bring, bring. There's a new chat in town. I had the last laugh. Don't! Monkey tennis? Little pierce my foot on a thigh. With a chuckle, with a chuckle. Oh. Monkey tennis? Radical, awesome. Mega.

Monkey tennis? Okay. Where's my assistant? I do not know.

Monkey tennis? Edmunds is a total wazock of a guy. Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes.

It's hotter than the sun. They said, oh, the hell is that. This is great answer.

Yeah. Monkey tennis? back of the net.

The people who enjoy Alan Partridge will enjoy this podcast.

The people who've never got it still won't get it.

Hello, friends, and welcome back to Monkey Tennis, the Alan Partridge fan podcast.

For the uninitiated, we take a look at all of Alan Partridge's vehicles, TV, book, live show, etc. Taking a look under the bonnet, sometimes we have to take the driving gloves off when a particular vehicle is in need of a service, but ultimately we're all admirers of the handy work. So if you're joining us for the first time, you can dive into past episodes where we've already covered the day to day, knowing me, knowing you, I'm Anna Partridge, Mid-Mourning Matters, Alpha Papa, Eye Partridge, Nomad, Open Book, Cisiddle this time, Alan's live stand-up appearances, stratagem, Alan's comic relief contributions, and we've spoken to Simon Greenall, aka Michael the Geordie, Tim Key, aka sidekick Simon, Stephen Mangan, aka Sexy Dan, and Susanna Fielding, aka Jenny Gresham,

and a host of famous journalists, comedians and presenters about their love of Alan. So to round off this labour-driving metaphor, allow me to introduce your four main spanners. I'm Adam Brooks, and I'm joined by Tom Dark. Would it be terribly ready to stop listening to you and go and speak to somebody else? Nick Older. While they have to choose between eating and heating,

I'll forego dutchy pork sausages in favour of less expensive brands that mince up cheaper bits of the pig.

And Tom Stab.

She likes help for heroes and cafe Neroes.

So welcome back everyone.

We've never left it this long without a monkey tennis. So thank you for rejoining us. We've got a little older. We've got a little, no, we've just got a little older.

That's it really. So huge thanks to everyone that's been asking for our return. We have had many,

many messages while we've been off air, so to speak, and a couple of examples of those coming up.

As seasoned listeners will know, we like to start every series with a roundup of your feedback.

So we've got tits bits from you about various parts of Alan Cannon, and also looking forward to some of the things that we'll be covering this series.

Spoiler alert, we'll be starting with, from the Oest House, series three, or series two, trunch two, depending on who you speak to. But before we get into that, it's feedback time, and we're going to start with someone who's got in touch with Mr. Tom Dark. Yeah, I think this is quite a good indication of a lot of the feedback we've had over the last 12, 13, 14 months, however long

it's actually been. This was an email from McNeil Chapman and he writes, you all have two

APU issues in your charge currently, namely Oast House Series 2 Tranch 2 and Big Beacon. I recommend
