Hello listeners, Nick from Monkey Tennis here. It's Christmas time. It's mistletoe. It's wine.

But it's also part two of our Knowing Me, Knowing You all Christmas special. If you haven't listened to Part 1, go and do it now.

If you have done it, sit back, relax and enjoy part two of our Christmas special, Knowing Me, Knowing

You All, recorded at the Prince Charles Cinema in 2017. Enjoy.

Knowing me, knowing you all, there is nothing we can do, knowing me, knowing you. Uh-huh. Back of the net. You absolutely, y'-y-upsilute. Monkey tennis? Bring, bring. There's a new chat in town. I had the last laugh. Done! Monkey tennis? Little pierced my foot on a spike. With a chuckle, with a chuckle. Oh. Monkey tennis? Radical, awesome, mega. Monkey tennis? Where's my assistant? I do not know. Okay. Monkey tennis? Edmonds is a total wazook of a guy. Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. It's hotter than the sun! They said, all the hell is that. A ho, ho! monkey tennis? What a night. Yeah.

I am hopping, mad, and I want something in the middle. Monkey tennis? The people who enjoy

Alan Partage will enjoy this podcast. The people who've never got it still won't get it. So there you go.

That's Nick sponsored by the Norwich Tourist Board.

So more product placement for them.

So there's a lot of visual gags in the Christmas in Norwich VT.

Oh, it's so good.

Firstly, presumably it's been filmed nowhere near Christmas in that he's in tiny shorts running around seemingly not getting that cold.

There's also a bit where he talks about North Cathedral is breathtaking,

and the shop shows it literally covered in scaffolding, like barely any of it's visible.

Yeah, so the VT, so it obviously introduces Norwich City Mustard and Shoes,

and then you've got the visuals of Norwich Market Square, which I think you've featured in Alan stuff three times probably. So you've got this show, you've got Alpha Papa, obviously, and the Welcome to the Place of My Life as well. So, I mean, it makes sense. It's actually quite a lot. But the jogging around the cloisters, I think, is amazing. That's one of my favourite bits. And it's particularly the line 300K, 300K, we take it to Sky.

Brilliant.

And you'll notice that a 300K figure does come back later in the episode. It's almost like that's the only figure Alan has to reference. He's plucking things out of the air. It's mathematically sound. Also, one of my favourite quotes from the whole episode is his voiceover and says, six friars were beheaded on this site, which is now a Dorothy Perkins.

Yes.

So they try and recreate the feeling of a historic battle in Norwich by just adding on some kind of mumbled sound effects and just zooming the camera and shaking it about. Shaky cam footage of Next and Radio Rentals. I've got three semi-interesting radio rentals facts, if you want them. Only if they're semi-interesting. Yeah, I don't want fully interesting. Well, they're definitely not fully interesting. One, it still exists in Australia. Two, it peaked with 500 stores and two million customers. That's more than waitros and roughly equivalent to Argos. Three, it merged into Box Clever and went bust in 2003. That's the end of the radio rentals section of the evening. See, I just love this kind of just really reminds me very much in the mid-90s because obviously we're radio rentals. For those that might be too young to remember, this is literally, yeah, there we go. Tom Stab is too young to remember. I don't know if that's true. But obviously, it sounds mad to say it now, but people used to rent the TVs. So they're 36 inch TVs. They would rent and pay per month or whatever. So what me and my friends at school used to do is one of my friends had one of those remote control watches. So you could basically turn the volume up on TVs. So you could just make it find the right signal for it. Oh, I smell mischief breathing. Yeah. So, well, basically, that's where we did it on the walk home just walk past rail rentals turn it volume up on TV so you could just make it find the right signal for it. I smell mischief brewing.

So, well, basically, that's what we did.

On the walk home, just walk past railway rentals. Turn it full volume on TV and run away. Get out. And we got her taken to Headmaster for that. So we got busted. A simpler, happier time. Better days. You get a quick glimpse of Alan's car. As we know, Steve Coogan is an auto enthusiast, so we always like to look at the cars that are used.
