Summary

"Stop getting Alan wrong!" That could well be what you shout at a couple of points in this very special Empire Podcast appreciation of all things Alan Partridge, as Alan anoraks (Alanoraks?) Chris Hewitt, Nick de Semlyen and Pilot TV's Boyd Hilton get together for a solid 49 minutes of scorching Alan-based chat... and end up misquoting him on several occasions. The authorities have been informed. But that's not all. Chris also sits down for a chat with Neil and Rob Gibbons, the clever flucking clunts who have, for the last few years, been getting Alan right, as writers (and now directors) of Mid-Morning Matters, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, and his triumphant return to the BBC with This Time with Alan Partridge. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll pierce your foot on a spike -- not our words, Carol, but the words of... oh, no, those are our words, actually. Enjoy.

0:25.1	with this time with Alan Partridge back on the BBC after how many years away 24, something
0:30.4	like that, which makes me feel incredibly old. I'm not going to be scaling the heights
0:34.4	of chat man dude by myself. I have two accomplished psychic assignments with me. First off, we have
0:40.6	Nick Desemlin, you know him from the Ampricot Podcast. How are you Nick? Oh, God. It had to
0:46.5	be done. We got out of the way. We got out of the way early. All right. I just do it. I'll
0:50.7	just do it. Knowing me, Chris Hewitt, knowing you, Nick Desemlin. Aha. Hello. There we go.
0:59.0	There we go. It was going to descend at the listen. That was horrible.
1:02.4	It was horrible. The second voice you're hearing. Sorry. I'll do it again. Knowing me, Chris Hewitt,
1:07.6	knowing you, boy, Hilton from Heat and the Pilot TV podcast. Aha. How are you?
1:14.8	Good. This is the official Pilot TV, I am Pire Podcast crossover episodes, isn't it? Really?
1:20.8	This is. Yeah. Apart from being about Alan Partridge, I feel it's essentially about that as well.
1:26.1	Keith is going to be thrilled. It's a beautiful thing that the tension is thick in this room.
1:30.5	Yeah. You could cut it. It's possibly sexual tension, but I wouldn't want to comment on that.
1:35.0	But, but yeah, boy, we're reaching out hands across the water. In some ways, this is a special
1:39.0	episode of the Pilot TV podcast. That's how I regard it. See, I look at it as a special, very
1:43.9	special edition of the Empire Podcast. It could even be a very, very special edition of the Pilot
1:49.5	TV podcast. I think it is a very, very, very special edition of the Pilot TV podcast.
1:53.6	Boyd has forgotten more about TV than I will ever know. Where would you rank this in the great
