Welcome to Knowing me, Knowing you, knowing me.

Alan Parties knowing you, the audience.

I've got a hit on my hands.

Monkey tennis?

Is that good therapy or bar me old old cack? Conrad Knightsaw. Monkey tennis? I'm Alan Partridge. Why is such a poor? Lots of meaty chants. Monkey tennis? I just want you to admit that you hate less tennis. What is it? What is it? What is it? Monkey tennis? Okay, I'm in Manhattan.

What do I do now? You are a little shit. Monkey tennis? That in England is a whore. I've taken drugs. Lord Morgan. If you speak again, I will physically hit you. And on that bombshell, monkey tennis? Thank goodness it's radio. I never thought I'd say that.

Hello and welcome to Monkey Tennis, the Alan Partridge fan podcast, where we're now going to take a deep dive through the Knowing Me, Knowing You, Radio series. I'm Adam Brooks, and I'm joined by Tom Dark. I'm more of a kind of Argos World of Leather Man myself. Nick Alder. The Nobel Prize for Literature. You never won it. What went wrong? And Tom Stab. No tree has died. No Child has cried to make the product that you have bide. So we're going to be kicking off obviously with episode one. Broadcast originally on the 1st of December 1992, I think, when I was 10 years old. It's worth mention at the top of the show as well, if people haven't heard No Me, No New Radio, where they can find it. It's all on Spotify, which I found very convenient. Yeah, randomly. I mean, I don't think it's on Spotify legally. I think it's worth pointing out. Oh, it's on there as a podcast with all the official artwork and everything. Yeah, but that's definitely not a legal upload. It's definitely not, because at the end of the shows, there's clips from like the show afterwards. Like it's not being clipped appropriately. See, I thought that was just bad editing on the part of the BBC. Absolutely not. So just to be clear, yes, it is there, but now that we've promoted the fact that it is there, it probably might be taken down. Okay. Well, yeah, grab it while you can. Otherwise, probably available

through other legal outlets. Well, they do often repeat it on Radio 4, so when they do that,

you can get it on BBC Sounds for probably a month or so. Obviously, as I did talk through in great

length, there are many physical formats on which the series is available. Should we just go through

those again? Yeah, I'm happy to 23. through. There's different artwork for everything. And it's like the episode order. No, right. Okay. Right. I've even got the, uh, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. Just at the moment, knowing me, knowing you is not on BBC sounds at the moment. I just had to say that. Just had to say that. So, Adam, you were 10 when this aired. Yeah. I was also 10. Were you, though?
