0:01:38 > 0:01:41That music was very foreboding. It's made a shiver go down my spine.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- That'll be the air-conditioning. - I would've taken it off sooner

0:01:44 > 0:01:47but I was having a fascinating conversation with the proud father

0:01:47 > 0:01:49of Norfolk's most sun-tanned child.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Just passed his details on to the Social Services.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55The time is 11:59 and 55 seconds.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- It's midday.- Well, no... Well, yeah, it is now.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00You're listening to Mid-Morning Matters.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- JINGLE - Mid-Morning Matters with Alan Partridge.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Music and chat for the Norfolk generation.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08KEYBOARD FLOURISH

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Sorry, it's the other way.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Later, we'll be taking dedications

0:02:12 > 0:02:14for anyone wrongly turned down for planning permission.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Also, I'll be asking - which is the worst monger?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Fish, iron, rumour or war? Pretty clear, that one.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Now it's time for today's large question.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25ECHOING CHANT: Large question.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's the near future.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31An unprovoked chemical attack from France, or possibly China,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33has left us without a sense of smell.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36In a whiff-free world, what smell would you miss the most?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Tom in Diss?- Petrol.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Nice. Wrongly referred to by the Americans as "gas".

0:02:41 > 0:02:43It's petrol, not gas.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44- Dominic in Castle Acre?- Money.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- HE SNIFFS - Yep. Joe in Holt?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- My wife's nightie. - You kinky get.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Saucy sod. - She died, you see.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53- Smells matter. - They do.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Hey, Greg.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01This is a great station, a real cracker.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yeah. Hi, Pat. Um...this is Jason Tresswell.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Managing Director of... - Goredale Media.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Our new owners, huh? I googled you on Yahoo.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13That's Pat Farrell. Does week nights, 10-12.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Sleepy-time slot.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- So, are you on your way out? - You tell me.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19- ALAN:- Gillian writes to ask -

0:03:19 > 0:03:23is it true you're being taken over by a bunch of corporate whores?

0:03:23 > 0:03:28Er...Gillian, I'm 99% certain that's not true.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31We've got a text here from Joy in Diss who says -

0:03:31 > 0:03:33An easy way to solve the problems in Israel...

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- A thorny issue.- ..would be for Judaism and Islam to merge.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Wouldn't hold your breath.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39- They both hate pigs.- True enough.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42You could call it Jislam.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I think you can go in circles, can't you, trying to think of names for something?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Even, er...a cat.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Well, nettles cause 'em, dock leaves cure 'em.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52It's a sting. It's Sting.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54MUSIC: Roxanne by The Police

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Sorry. - Never, never criticise Muslims.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Only, only Christians. And Jews a little bit.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Alan, it's started. They're here.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08We're being taken over.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14So?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17# Roxanne

0:04:17 > 0:04:20# You don't have to put on the red light

0:04:22 > 0:04:24# Those days are over

0:04:24 > 0:04:27# You don't have to sell your body to the night... #

0:04:28 > 0:04:30ALAN SINGING

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Hello?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Are you in the business centre?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39# Coconut, everybody

0:04:39 > 0:04:42# Like de coconut

0:04:42 > 0:04:44# Coconut, coconut... #

0:04:44 > 0:04:46SHE LAUGHS

0:04:48 > 0:04:50# Coconut, coconut... #

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Oh, hello, Lynn. Just reading about how ospreys died out in Britain

0:04:54 > 0:04:57and had to be reintroduced from Scandinavia in the early '90s.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Now I think there are almost 500 of them.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03HE TYPES

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Yeah. 480.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07It shows we should treasure and value our wildlife.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10So, what you got, girl?

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, the butchers want you to do another voiceover.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14"Bannan's the Butcher's.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18"Yesterday's meat at today's prices."

0:05:18 > 0:05:20You've had the mayor of Hickling get in touch.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23He listens to your show and wants to offer you the freedom of the village.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- It doesn't even have a post office. - They give you a big key.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- How big?- That big.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Tell him I accept.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31MESSAGE ALERT

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Everything seems to be tugging along nicely.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Everything OK, Alan?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Michael's just sent a text saying he hasn't bought toilet paper in 18 months.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- How does he...? - He steals it from a pub.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Oh.- That's a relief.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Shared a bag of salty popcorn with him last week.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49# Roll out the barrel... # Hi, I'm Pat Farrell.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Join me tonight at ten, for a hearty casserole of tunes, cheer and chinwag.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57Local folk trio Will-o'-the-wisp will be playing live in the studio,

0:05:57 > 0:06:01and I'll be taking your calls on my ever popular fireside phone-in.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Don't miss it.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07OK, for those who haven't slipped into a coma,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11you are listening to the Breakfast Show with Danny Sinclair and these muppets.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13WHOOPING

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- How we feeling this morning, guys? - Better than you, by the look of things.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I had it large. I got on it. - Take it easy tonight, then.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I would but we've got the launch tonight.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23North Norfolk Digital are changing their name to...

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Shape - The Way You Want It To Be.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29ELECTRONIC JINGLE: # Shape the way you want it to be

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Coming up next, Alan Partridge. God bless him, how old is he?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- 60 or something.- Got to be, hasn't he?

0:06:35 > 0:06:3755.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Alan, we love you, mate. We love you really.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41This one's for you, if you're listening.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's Roachford.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47MUSIC: Cuddly Toy by Roachford

0:06:55 > 0:06:59MIMING: # Well, I don't pour out my heart like this to everyone

0:06:59 > 0:07:02# Not anyone that I meet

0:07:02 > 0:07:06# And I know it ain't the wine, cos I feel just fine

0:07:06 > 0:07:08# Can't you see, baby?

0:07:08 > 0:07:09# I'm still on my feet

0:07:09 > 0:07:11# Oh, but a cuddly toy

0:07:11 > 0:07:17# That's my only joy waiting for me when I get home, yeah

0:07:17 > 0:07:20# And what I need is a girl like you

0:07:20 > 0:07:24# All I need, yeah, to call my very own

0:07:24 > 0:07:27# So you gotta feel for me, baby Feel for me, baby

0:07:27 > 0:07:31# Yeah, you gotta feel for me, baby Feel for me, baby

0:07:31 > 0:07:34# Girl, you gotta feel for me, baby Feel for me, baby

0:07:34 > 0:07:37# Oh, gimme some love

0:07:37 > 0:07:39# Come on, now... #

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Your fog lamps are on.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Your fog lamps are on. There's no fog.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52There's no fog.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53No fog.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55# Oh, a cuddly toy

0:07:55 > 0:07:57# That's my only joy

0:07:57 > 0:07:59# Waiting for me when I get home

0:08:18 > 0:08:21# Oh, gimme some love... #

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- ALARM BEEPS - Love that noise.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Michael, do it outside.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Morning, Michael. - Morning, Mr Partridge.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Paper. - I was doing a fist bump.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- You would say that now you've lost. - It's instead of a handshake.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Some people say it's more hygienic than a handshake.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42But who's to say you can't get shit on your fist?

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Did you hear him making fun of you? - I did, but as Oscar Wilde said,

0:08:46 > 0:08:48"There's only one thing worse than being talked about."

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Cancer. - No. "Not being talked about."

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Oscar Wilde said that's worse than cancer?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Yeah. I think he was at a party.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Probably just being a gay show-off.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59# Shape, Shape, Shape... #

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Do you know what I really like? I like waking up in the morning, breathing in the air and er...

0:09:03 > 0:09:06actually realising I've made it through the night and I haven't wet the bed.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08No, I am joking, obviously, but er...

0:09:08 > 0:09:13they were, of course, very, very dark days indeed.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15But they're all behind me now.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Morning, Angela.- Morning, Alan.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19'Alan Partridge has just walked into the building.'

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Walking and talking, like The West Wing.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- 'Hope he hasn't hurt himself!' - "Mr President, we have a code red."

0:09:24 > 0:09:28- I've never seen the show. - No, me neither.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Corner coming up.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32You never know what's round the corner.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35More corners, usually.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Imagine a world without corners.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44No-one would be able to cut any. Everyone would be going round in circles.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49HE SIGHS

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Wow.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54I enjoyed that.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56'I will tell you one thing.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58'When I was going through my bad times,'

0:09:58 > 0:10:03I found Norfolk was perhaps maybe not the place to be and...

0:10:03 > 0:10:06just-just because it's so flat and there was a sort of a...

0:10:06 > 0:10:09a bleakness about the place, but obviously now...

0:10:09 > 0:10:12You're a good broadcaster, Alan. Don't forget that.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- I wasn't planning to, Pat. - You seen this memo?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16"Exciting new phase. Here's to the future."

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- My days are numbered. - No-one's getting sacked.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's like Bobby Brushes, the caretaker, when the swimming pool allegations came out.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24- He was in bits.- Yeah.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27It turned out he was just helping those lads towel off. He was being nice.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- He didn't even know them. - Yeah, but where is he now?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- He runs his own business. - There. He's back on his feet.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Rents out bouncy castles.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37For adults, yeah?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Look at this memo.- I've seen the memo. It's quite simple.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Goredale Media are simply reimagining our core brand values

0:10:43 > 0:10:47and giving it a name more fitting to multi-platform content delivery.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49- They're people people. - People people sack people.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52No, Pat. People sack people. People people please people.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Can you have a word with them, Alan?- Would you?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Er...sure. As soon as I can get them all in the same room together.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- They're all up in the boardroom now.- That's great.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Thank you. Thank you, Alan. You're a pal.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Well, pals is pals.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11If we're all looking at the last quarterly figures for North Norfolk on page 6.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Then if you turn to page 5.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15KNOCKING

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Hi, guys, don't want to be an agenda-bender, but any chance of a wawa?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- It's not a good time, Alan. - It's fine, we've time. Come in.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Oh, we moved the other thing. Yeah, it's a good time.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Alan, Alan Partridge.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Jason Tresswell, MD of Goredale Media.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33It's not "Alan Alan Partridge". It's "Alan, comma, Alan Partridge".

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I know some people do have two names.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Zsa Zsa Gabor, for instance.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Duran Duran.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Yeah, that's not as good.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Um... Kris Kristofferson.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Excellent small talk. Gentlemen, to business.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50I am here as one of the more senior D-jocks at this station.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'm here to talk about jobs.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Like a Nazi officer this, isn't it?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Should er...snap my heels together.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59- Achtung!- Guten Tag.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Silence! Sorry. I meant to miss you.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I want you to do something for me.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09I want you to take all your prejudices, put them in a box marked "prejudices",

0:12:09 > 0:12:12put it to one side, wipe the prejudice juice off your hands...

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Can I just stop you there? Change is healthy, you shouldn't fear it.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17I'm not scared of anything. Not even an elephant,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20which is interesting, because there's one in this room.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Want to know his name? - > Pat Farrell.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's Pat Farrell. Pat's audience is old.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Old people, much like dogs, are blindly loyal.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30And if Pat hightails it to Cedar FM and they follow,

0:12:30 > 0:12:34you've got a grey exodus on your hands. A grexodus.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Hm. That prejudices box doesn't seem quite so cool any more, does it?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Yeah, but we bought Cedar FM as well.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I didn't know that. I did not know that.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- The point is... - You were talking about Pat Farrell.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Pat Farrell is a great guy.

0:12:56 > 0:13:01He's always the first to speak up at union meetings,

0:13:01 > 0:13:03being a member of a union.

0:13:03 > 0:13:08He's also Irish, which again, weirdly, a plus point, if you like swearing.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11He's often on his show - "Feckin' dis" and "Feckin' dat".

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Some Irish people say "Feck off" isn't as bad as "Fuck off",

0:13:13 > 0:13:15but I think that's bullshit or bellshit.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19- The bottom line is, he swears too much.- This is all very interesting...

0:13:19 > 0:13:21I can sum up Pat Farrell in ten words.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Pat isn't very good so let him go, guys, seriously.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I can condense that to three words.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Just sack Pat.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37That completes my presentation.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Gentlemen, I'll leave you to your biscuits.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43HE PANTS

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Gloves.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52(Oh, fuck.)

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Glove.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55# Shape

0:13:55 > 0:13:58# The way you want it to be... #

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Ahhh! That was soft rock cocaine enthusiasts, Fleetwood Mac.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05And this was Mid-Morning Matters.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Where once again,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08- mid-morning...- Mattered. - Mattered.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Supposed to do it in sync.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Always leave a gap. - Sorry.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Simple. Very simple.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19You're listening to Shape - The Way You Want It To Be.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Mm-hm. Right. And will it take long?

0:14:28 > 0:14:32It will take long. OK. Hi, Pat. I'll catch you later.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- I'm not happy about it, but... - MOBILE RINGTONE

0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'll just have to go along with it, won't I?

0:14:36 > 0:14:38RINGTONE STOPS

0:14:38 > 0:14:44The... The-the problem is that the phone rings even when I'm speaking on it,

0:14:44 > 0:14:46so it sounds bloody weird.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47HE SNORTS

0:14:47 > 0:14:51In fact, I think it just did it then. Did you hear it? Yes?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Yeah. He heard it too.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55OK, well, I'll leave it with you.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Mm-hm. Yep.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Yep.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01All right. Thanks, Susan.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06If Geoff Susan doesn't mend that phone, there'll be hell to pay.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09They wouldn't even let me say goodbye to my listeners.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Just gave me 30 minutes to clear out my locker.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Well, at least I'm getting their mugs dirty.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Thanks, Alan. You always stuck up for me.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Not like the others.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, I'll let you get back to...Geoff.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Who's Geoff?- Geoff Susan.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Oh, yes, of course.

0:15:34 > 0:15:35BUZZING

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Ahhhhh... I did the right thing, didn't I, Lynn?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42I mean, I think he knew his days were numbered.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44More of an assisted suicide, really.

0:15:44 > 0:15:49I just flew him to Switzerland and filled out a few forms and...

0:15:49 > 0:15:51sloped off to the airport.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54I've got to be honest, Lynn, I'm feeling pretty crummy.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Pat's Irish, isn't he?

0:15:56 > 0:15:57To be sure.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Why don't you donate £50 to Sinn Fein?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Perfect.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- ALARM BEEPS - Love that noise.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Keep me away from the sausage rolls.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm wearing my chubby clothes again.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I noticed. What, the chub, or the clothes?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- My pad!- My pad.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14- SHE GIGGLES - Not that funny, Lynn.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17MUSIC: Bounce by Calvin Harris

0:16:17 > 0:16:19CHATTER

0:16:19 > 0:16:21- I used to go with prostitutes. - Brilliant.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Cocaine - that was a trigger. Cocaine, prostitutes.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Bit of a cycle. Puking up the old... luminous green bile.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Yeah, I was withdrawing.

0:16:31 > 0:16:32THEY LAUGH HEARTILY

0:16:32 > 0:16:33I've got my minder with me.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Lynn? - She might not seem tough,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38but I once saw her stamp on 50 cockroaches in a minute.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39He didn't see. He was in the next room.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- It was in Wales. - It's true, yeah.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44All I could hear was crunch, crunch, crunch, stamp, stamp, stamp.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I thought she was country dancing whilst eating cereal.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50I thought it was the End of Days. They were legion.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Lynn likes The Bible.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54I've never understood moths.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57They only come out at night, yet they're attracted to the light.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59I don't know why they just don't come out during the day.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02I've nothing to add to that. If you substituted butterfly...

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Could you go and get me some sausage rolls?

0:17:04 > 0:17:08If you substituted butterfly for moth, I think it would sound like poetry, yeah.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Unfortunately, Wordsworth didn't say -

0:17:09 > 0:17:14"I wandered lonely as a moth to eat some jumpers in a drawer."

0:17:14 > 0:17:19"As if that wasn't bad enough, it ate my sock upon the moor."

0:17:19 > 0:17:20HE SIGHS AND CLICKS TONGUE

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Yeah. It's just... I don't know why a sock could be on the moor.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28A mitten, maybe.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31I actually spewed up some of my stomach lining.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I don't know if you've ever done er...done any horse, have you?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36- I've ridden a donkey. - No, no, no, I mean heroin.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39I know what you mean. No, I've not done heroin.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- I don't like subtitles in my films. - If you can read, read a book.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Citizen Kane - black and white. I haven't seen that.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48I tell you what, the best film for me, ever, is still The Godfather.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Ah, amazing film. - Perfect film.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Amazing acting, though. - Great acting.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56I tell you what's even better,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59a lot of people are shocked when I say this - the camera angles.

0:17:59 > 0:18:00Alan, I need a word.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02> Camera angles?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04It's rather delicate.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Remember when you took me for that Christmas meal at the ice rink?

0:18:07 > 0:18:10You remember that woman disinfecting the boots?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11The one that took a shine to you?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13I went home and you and her...

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, it's...none of my business.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It is none of your business, but for the record, went back to her place,

0:18:20 > 0:18:23watched Air Crash Investigation, then I fell asleep in her big armchair.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25A perfectly normal woman.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, she's here.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Lynn, get rid of her. She's a drunk racist.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- I'll tolerate one, but not both. - Fine.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34But you said I could pop by any time.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36I know, but my career's hanging by a thread.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38- And I'm an embarrassment, am I? - No, no.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41You just wanted sex, you used me.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Well, maybe you used me.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46I-I didn't have much of a say over what went on that night.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Didn't hear you complaining.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- I couldn't speak. - See you round mine again, then.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52I...don't know, I'm... I'm...

0:18:52 > 0:18:56- What's wrong with my place? - Well...all those dogs barking.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58But it's their bedroom too.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00May I have a word?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07- BETTIE:- You're talking clap... crap!

0:19:07 > 0:19:11I sound like a fucking Chinky when I'm pissed!

0:19:11 > 0:19:13BANGS AND SCREAMS

0:19:14 > 0:19:17There we go. All done.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21- What did you say to her?- I told her that God loves everyone...

0:19:21 > 0:19:23even sluts.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Goodnight, Lynn.- Night, Alan.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31MUSIC CONTINUES

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Hello?

0:19:52 > 0:19:55V funny. Tee-hee.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Very impressive.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Oh, they must have left in a hurry. Something weird's happened.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05HE SIGHS

0:20:08 > 0:20:12All right, you freaked me out, so just... Pack it...

0:20:12 > 0:20:13There you are!

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Pat? Agh!

0:20:15 > 0:20:16GUNSHOT

0:20:36 > 0:20:37HE GROANS

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Er...

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Yeah, all right. I'll go on without you.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53HE PANTS

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- I need to commandeer this vehicle. - WOMAN: What?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03There's a mad man with a gun. Um...

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- He's Irish!- Get in.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Why do you sit so close to the wheel? I could steer with my balls!

0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Where's the nearest police station? - Just here.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Oh...thanks.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Are you Alan Partrid...?

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Assault, battery, kidnap, chronic thuggery,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27brandishment, actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- harm. - Just stick to what you saw

0:21:30 > 0:21:32and we'll decide if it's ABH or GBH.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34- You mean aitch?- That's what I said.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Nearly, you said haitch.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38"Ha" is the sound of the letter, aitch is its name.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40One is ha, the other is aitch. Neither is "haitch".

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- I'm sorry, I'm a bit nervous. - Mr Partridge?

0:21:42 > 0:21:44- There's something else we need to talk about.- Oh...

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- You're not in trouble. - Oh, fine.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I've never been in a police car before.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53May I lower the window, please?

0:21:57 > 0:22:01POLICE RADIO: Foxtrot Sierra. Alpha Papa arriving at the school building.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Officer. - Mr Partridge.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06- You were at the police station. - I was just in the car with you.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- If you want to follow me, please. - Huh.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10- This way, please, sir. - Yep.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Let's do it.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Mr Partridge, this is the Gold Commander of the operation.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21ALAN CHUCKLES

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Seriously, is that what you're called?- On this operation, yes.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26I'm Acting Chief Constable Janet Whitehead.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29- An honour. - And I'm Martin Fitch...

0:22:29 > 0:22:30Send.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33..from Scotland Yard's Hostage and Crisis Unit.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Here to lead the negotiation.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Er...little bit awkward. Who's in charge?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Make no mistake, this lady is in charge.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44So here's the situation. Pat is refusing to speak to us directly.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48He's willing to give us three hostages, but only if he can talk to us through you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Now, we need to know why Pat has done this so we can draw things to a peaceful conclusion.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Yeah, sure, I'll talk to him. Deal.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Sorry, wrong person.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Come here.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04OK. Now, are you on any medication?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Er... Just some cream.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10I've got very aggressive athlete's foot but that's the only thing about me that is.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Do you suffer from any nervous conditions, such as panic attacks?

0:23:13 > 0:23:14HE SNIGGERS

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Do I look like I suffer from panic attacks?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18I've had one panic attack in a car wash.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22It was a perfect storm of no sleep, no wife,

0:23:22 > 0:23:25and angry brushes whirring towards me.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28By the time the giant hairdryer came on, I was in the footwell.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Does the idea of weaponry trouble you?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Er...no. I've fired several rifles - at funfairs, and won prizes.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40But I've never fired one in anger, or at a cat.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43CLEARING THROAT: We'll have you fully briefed by the tactical firearms team.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Cool.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46We'll keep in regular phone contact with you when you go in.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Very cool. Sorry, go in?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51- What, into the building? - Mm-hm.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54- To speak to Pat in person? - Yes, is that not what you...?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Erm... - Everything OK?

0:23:58 > 0:24:02I'm just a little nervous about going into a car wash...er...siege.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04So what do you say, Al? Will you help us?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08HE SIGHS

0:24:09 > 0:24:11CONTEMPLATIVE PIANO MUSIC

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Yep.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Guys, none of us choose the hand we're dealt...

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- You know... - We do need an answer, I'm afraid.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Do you have another siege to go to?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26It's my understanding that if you say yes, you're allowed a few words.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28- So you are saying yes? - I was leaving that to the end.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30- If you'd like to come with me. - Sure.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Can I get a copy of that?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Let's keep this simple, shall we? - Roger, that.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37- No heroics. - Ten-four, good buddy.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Do not physically engage him.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Fight a gun, flee a knife, yeah? - Where do you read that?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Big fans of you guys in TFU.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46If I had my way, all police officers would carry firearms.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49I think that firearms should remain in the hands of specialists.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52I was going to say that only specialists should be allowed to fire them.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55If you think I've just made that up, you can call my assistant.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Alan! Read my lips.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00If you jeopardize the safety of any of my men,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03or any of those hostages because you've not been listening to me,

0:25:03 > 0:25:06I will take off this police uniform and I will make you pay for it.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10You want me to buy your police uniform off you?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13No. I'll give you a fucking good hiding, is that clear?

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes, that's clear. Yes. That's clear.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17(You're close to me.)

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Now, you're a smart bloke, I know you can handle it.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- I know you won't disappoint me. - I won't.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25I aim to please you, and I... I hope to impress you.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Good man. - Yeah, you're a good man too.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30Right, well, Dom will fill you in.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38He has to say all that shit for the insurance.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Right. - Tell me this much, mate.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- What's your favourite siege? - Iranian Embassy.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Same. Why?

0:25:44 > 0:25:46They used the sound of a pneumatic drill

0:25:46 > 0:25:49to disguise the noise of them removing bricks from a neighbouring wall.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52- So they could smash through and... - Take them out the game.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54BOTH: It's just a great siege.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Right.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Do you want to see me gun?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Does erm... Yes, please.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03HEAVY THUD AND SLIDE

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Let's clock the Glock.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09You'll have to move quicker than that.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Any last messages for your kids? - Oh... Er...

0:26:12 > 0:26:14No, they don't speak to me any more.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Yeah, "Why don't you speak to me any more?"

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I wouldn't know the answer, would I?

0:26:18 > 0:26:21So just um... Just... tell them I love them.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Pat, Alan's coming in now.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33HELICOPTER ROTORS WHIR

0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Greg!- Oh... Hey, Alan. Thanks.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- They let you go as well? - I'm relieved to be getting out of there.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Aren't there still women in there? - Yeah, well...

0:26:54 > 0:26:57I think it would be a bit sexist to let ALL the women go out first.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yeah. Sleep well, Greg.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Thanks.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07Pat?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Pat?

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Pat?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Prepare to die. - I'm not ready to!

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Alan, it's OK, it's OK, it's me.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's me - Pat.

0:27:29 > 0:27:30God, you...

0:27:30 > 0:27:33I just thought a little jokey costume would, you know, put you at ease,

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- give you a giggle. - Well...mission accomplished.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Oh, God.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- It's great to see you. - Good to see you, too.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43I bought you some cake, not that you deserve it after that.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46I should just crush it in my hand. Oh, I already have.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49- How the devil are you? - Yeah, not bad, not bad.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50How are you feeling?

0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Great!- Good.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Oh, er...the police told me to bring you this.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56It's just a standard field phone,

0:27:56 > 0:27:59should you feel the inclination to communicate with ze authorities.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03Good thing about these things, they're immune to the problems and glitches

0:28:03 > 0:28:05you get with satellite phones.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08But, like I say, it's just an option, really.

0:28:08 > 0:28:13I just realised, when you asked me now how I was feeling, you meant...

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Yes, I did.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17PAT CHUCKLES

0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Does this answer your question? - Yes, it does.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Oh, hello. Didn't see you there.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Someone's been in the wars.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26- That's just Simon. - Can he breathe through that?

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Of course. It's just like wearing a mask.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31At least when someone puts you in a mask, you've got a safe word,

0:28:31 > 0:28:33like "air bag", or "crayfish".

0:28:34 > 0:28:36What's the er...? That thing?

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Oh, we made that. It's a head holster.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Never heard of one of those. - Yeah, I'll show you. Simon?

0:28:43 > 0:28:45You insert the shotgun.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Place on stand. And...voila.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Hands free. I can move around the studio, do anything I want.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54And if something happens... I don't even have to look.

0:28:54 > 0:28:55Boom. Hit the target.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Yeah... Well, you don't need an accomplice.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Well, I've got you now.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Yeah.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Thank you.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09So you're with the police now?

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Oh, this... No, this is just...

0:29:13 > 0:29:16I think it's Velcro. There you go.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Feck the police.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20I think they thought that if they did take a pot shot at you...

0:29:20 > 0:29:22it's a siege, you've got a gun,

0:29:22 > 0:29:24that the bullet might pass through you and hit me.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Unless they use dumdums, which explode inside the body.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29I said, "Do not use dumdums on Pat Ferrell, Farrell, Ferrell.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32"Just use a high-velocity round that passes through his body

0:29:32 > 0:29:34"because he's a friend of mine."

0:29:34 > 0:29:37And I suppose if I want to shoot you, I can always aim for the head.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38Exactly. Exactly.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Um... I don't even know why I'm wearing it.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- So take it off. - I'll happily take it off.

0:29:43 > 0:29:44Go on, then.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47- If you want me to, I'll take it off.- Fucking take it off!

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Oh, Pat, now you're making me want to wear it!

0:29:49 > 0:29:51This is not my bag.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53I'm-I'm-I'm...a disc jockey.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55I'm sorry you got the sack.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59I'm 55 years old, I should be at home in bed watching funny videos on YouTube.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04"Sneezing panda" or "Charlie bit my finger".

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Have you seen "Fat woman falls down the hole"?

0:30:07 > 0:30:10THEY LAUGH

0:30:10 > 0:30:12- That's hilarious. Isn't it? - Yeah.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14I've seen it before, but, yeah.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19That... That should be fenced off, really, but erm... I'm glad it wasn't.

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Great.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to ask, where are the hostages?

0:30:23 > 0:30:25In there.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Oh, my God!

0:30:29 > 0:30:32That's like some sort of zoo from Planet Of The Apes.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Danny looks a bit...bruised.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38I lost my temper a couple of times.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Three times. - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was three.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Go and say hello.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Give him a slap yourself, if you want.- Oh, no...

0:30:47 > 0:30:50No, I'll just... I'll just say hello.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Alan...- Look, do the police know we're here?

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Alan! What the hell's going on?

0:30:55 > 0:30:56ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Cool it with the crosstalk, you're professional broadcasters.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04- I'm not, I'm a writer.- We'll get through this with each other.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08I want everyone to shake hands with everyone else. Now! Whether you want to or not.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10DANNY: This is ridiculous.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11ANGELA: Ow.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Hello, er...Connor.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Paper.- Hi.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21OK. Pat will not communicate directly with the police.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Only through me.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26So as of now, I am bullhorn.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- But I think we're going to be OK. - OK? He hit me!

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Let's not get into who hit who or, you know, who may have deserved it.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35You need to keep him away from me. Understand?

0:31:35 > 0:31:36What I NEED to do, Danny,

0:31:36 > 0:31:39in conjunction with Jason, is crisis management.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41I'm sure he'll agree there has been plenty of crisis...

0:31:41 > 0:31:43- But no management. - Cowabunga. Walk with me.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Alan, you do realise you're in the box seat here?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50- You've got the guy's confidence. - Yeah. I don't know why.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54I go for a curry with him once a year, and even then I don't have a starter.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55Trouble is, he does.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57All I need to know is - can you handle it?

0:31:57 > 0:31:58Well, er...

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Would you ask that of a man who'd gone paintballing,

0:32:01 > 0:32:04realised he'd left his goggles at reception but carried on anyway?

0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Why? - You're looking at him.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08OK, guys, quick wawa.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Just had a powwow with Jase, upshot is...

0:32:11 > 0:32:13I'm going to be his right-hand man on this one.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17He'll be, um... My left-hand man.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Er...- Sorry.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22The point is, Pat has not gone mad.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24He has a grievance. He needs some sort of outlet.

0:32:24 > 0:32:25JINGLE PLAYS

0:32:25 > 0:32:30This is Pat Farrell, welcoming you to Roll Out The Farrell on North Norfolk Digital.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33OK. Pat may have... May have gone mad.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35He may have gone mad.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39And now we have a text from Cynthia in Holt, who writes,

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Dear Pat, we are sending you a bottle...

0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Ma'am, you'd better listen to this...- ..of our home-made plum brandy.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46We use it to make brandy butter...

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Why am I listening to shit radio? - That's Pat Farrell, ma'am.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51He's broadcasting from the siege.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Mm, yum, Cynthia. Can't wait.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Can you gently remind Pat that we had an agreement?

0:32:56 > 0:32:58You are there to communicate with us.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02Listen, I don't know what it says in your police operation manual...

0:33:02 > 0:33:05- or in Psychobabble Weekly... - Penguin Book of Sieges.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07..or The Penguin Book of Sieges,

0:33:07 > 0:33:10but out here in the field, it's plenty different.

0:33:10 > 0:33:15I've got a guy with a gun and a gripe to grind, and he say, "No speaky."

0:33:15 > 0:33:18I would really like to establish a dialogue here, Alan.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21A simple trilateral exchange, from Pat, to you, to me, to you, to Pat.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Do you understand? - No more interruptions, or else!

0:33:24 > 0:33:27You think I don't have balls? I've got plenty of balls!

0:33:27 > 0:33:29I've got balls coming out of my arse!

0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Er...did you hear that? - Yes.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Well, that's... that's the end of the call. Bye.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40You are listening to North Norfolk Digital.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43# Shape

0:33:43 > 0:33:45# The Way You Want It To Be.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47# Shape- The way you want it to be

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Where are all my jingles? - Jason wanted them deleted.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52- He won't have deleted them all. - He did delete them all.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54- He did delete them all, Pat. - What?

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- It was jingle genocide. - That's not helping, Simon.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00The bastard. Alan, take over for me.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03- No. - I'm going to straighten him out.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12You're listening to the Pat and Alan Show.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Mainly Pat. - You, Jason. Yeah, you.

0:34:18 > 0:34:23..does mike paper slider switch to... To...

0:34:23 > 0:34:27to mouse his chocolate cups?

0:34:27 > 0:34:30- It doesn't make sense. - It doesn't make sense,

0:34:30 > 0:34:33but if you can rearrange to make sense then you could win...bins...

0:34:33 > 0:34:35and win...

0:34:35 > 0:34:36THUD

0:34:36 > 0:34:38...and windows.

0:34:45 > 0:34:46Oh, shit.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49This is the theme from Ski Sunday.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50Sorry for swearing.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52MUSIC: Theme from Ski Sunday

0:34:55 > 0:34:59- MUFFLED:- I've put up with shits like you for most of my life...

0:34:59 > 0:35:01THUMPING AND SCREAMING

0:35:04 > 0:35:05THUD

0:35:07 > 0:35:09One hour.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13And if that jingle isn't word for word what I just said,

0:35:13 > 0:35:17I am going to shoot you in the feet, then the knees, then the hands.

0:35:17 > 0:35:21And basically anything you've got two of, like your face.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Oh, yeah. Two-faced.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26One hour.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33One hour? This is impossible. I'm going to fucking die.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35What are we going to do?

0:35:35 > 0:35:37You can't do a top-quality jingle in an hour.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40We can do this. Let me tell you a story, um...

0:35:40 > 0:35:44Back in the day, I was MC-ing a conference for Reynard Pharmaceuticals.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46Some of the marketing guys were doing karaoke.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49I didn't join in, I tended to shun Japanese culture.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51This was the mid-'90s, it was more acceptable.

0:35:51 > 0:35:55But high on a cocktail of champagne and cheap Fosters lager,

0:35:55 > 0:35:57I lunged at the microphone.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59A few minutes later, I was making grown men cry

0:35:59 > 0:36:02with my rendition of Summer Of '69 by Bryan Adams.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Thing is, I twisted the lyrics to the Summer Of '29,

0:36:05 > 0:36:08evoking memories of the Wall Street Crash and German hyperinflation.

0:36:08 > 0:36:12- Remember, these guys were in sales. - Alan, where are you going with this?!

0:36:12 > 0:36:14The point is, he didn't think he was any good at singing,

0:36:14 > 0:36:16and it turns out he was quite good.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Yeah, that. - And that if you really, really try,

0:36:19 > 0:36:21- you can do anything. - And that.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23I don't care! I'm going to fucking die!

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Hey, hey, I'm trying to save your head, shoulders, knees and toes.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29- ANGELA:- Knees and toes. - OK, man up, musos.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32- I played synth in a jazz funk band. - Great, who else?

0:36:32 > 0:36:34I used to be the drummer in Marillion.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- ALL EXCLAIMING: Really? - There's no time for that.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39- But wow and great. - What are you going to do first?

0:36:39 > 0:36:41HE PLAYS RANDOM NOTES

0:36:43 > 0:36:45I'm going to lay down a rhythm track.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54Oh.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Lynn Benfield?

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- I am she. - Do you know Mr Alan Partridge?

0:36:59 > 0:37:00OK.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02He wasn't stealing crisps.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05He just gets flustered at self-service checkouts

0:37:05 > 0:37:07- and takes things without scanning them.- Miss Benfield...

0:37:07 > 0:37:11He doesn't like being told to put things in bagging areas by automated women.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14No, Miss Benfield, we're here because Mr Partridge is

0:37:14 > 0:37:16currently involved in an armed siege.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Oh.- We're informing you as his next of kin.

0:37:22 > 0:37:23Take me to him.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29# Pat Farrell had a loyal following in

0:37:29 > 0:37:31# The local community

0:37:31 > 0:37:34# But Goredale Media fucked him over

0:37:34 > 0:37:37# Cos they don't care about loyalty

0:37:37 > 0:37:40# The only things they give a shit about

0:37:40 > 0:37:43# Is the profit margins

0:37:43 > 0:37:46# And if they don't reinstate him

0:37:46 > 0:37:49# He'll take it out on the hostages

0:37:49 > 0:37:51# Even the ones with kids

0:37:51 > 0:37:54# Better get yourself some body bags. #

0:37:58 > 0:37:59That was beautiful.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Could you make me some more? - ALL: Ooh.- Er...

0:38:02 > 0:38:04- ALL: Definitely!- Yes, maybe(!)

0:38:08 > 0:38:11Local folk trio Will-o'-the-wisp won't be coming in now.

0:38:11 > 0:38:15Apparently, there are road closures in Norwich due to a major police...

0:38:15 > 0:38:16RADIO OFF

0:38:16 > 0:38:17Thanks for waiting, Miss Benfield.

0:38:17 > 0:38:21We're speaking to anyone who can help us build a picture of Pat Farrell.

0:38:21 > 0:38:22- You said you know him?- Ah, well...

0:38:22 > 0:38:25I made three cakes for him over the last year.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28But there was nothing in them that would have led him to do this.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31- They were very plain.- That's not one of our lines of investigation.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Just tell us what you know about Pat.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Irish. Shock of brown, curly hair.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40He's a strong man, with strong arms and a good walk. Moves well.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42- That's very helpful, Lynn. - Oh.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Thank you. - Now, how about some coffee?

0:38:44 > 0:38:46Oh, of course. How do you take it?

0:38:46 > 0:38:50No, no, we'll get it for you. Just sit there, I'll be back.

0:38:50 > 0:38:51Oh...

0:38:51 > 0:38:54MUSIC: Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell

0:38:57 > 0:38:59I hate all this shit. Telling us how to speak.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02They think they're giving us an identity but they're...

0:39:02 > 0:39:03Turning us into nobodies.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06We're just unit-shifters for the money men.

0:39:06 > 0:39:07Sounds quite good.

0:39:11 > 0:39:15Alan, did you ever imagine what life would be like in your 50s?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18I had hopes and dreams. I think we all did.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Penny for them.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Keep the penny, you've got a gun.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27But yeah, I used to dream that one day I'd drive a brand-new Range Rover

0:39:27 > 0:39:28towing a speedboat.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32I used to dream about growing old with someone I love.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34Hm. Both valid.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36It's not going to happen now, is it?

0:39:42 > 0:39:44I miss my Molly so much.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51- Who's this chap? - That's Molly.

0:39:51 > 0:39:52Yes, of course.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57She's got such...brown hair.

0:39:59 > 0:40:03A year after that was taken, the angels took her.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Must have been a few of them.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Now I've nobody. No wife.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13No family. No kids.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20I've got to say, Pat, kids don't make you happy.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23Some of the unhappiest times of my life have been with my kids.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25I remember...

0:40:25 > 0:40:28a holiday on the beach in Prestatyn.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33The kids came over to me and said, "Papa, Papa! Follow me..."

0:40:33 > 0:40:35and...you know...

0:40:35 > 0:40:38I followed them about 200 yards across the sand dunes.

0:40:38 > 0:40:42When I got there, finally, all they'd done was dug a big hole.

0:40:44 > 0:40:45Miserable.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Sounds lovely.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57PAT SIGHS HEAVILY

0:40:57 > 0:41:01# And the Wichita lineman

0:41:02 > 0:41:07# Is still on the line... #

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Gooood morning!

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Crayfish!

0:41:19 > 0:41:21I feel absolutely great.

0:41:21 > 0:41:25There's a lot to be said for a good sleep and a hot shower.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Yeah.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Sleep well, Alan?

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Er...yes, thank you.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35As the Shape siege enters its first morning,

0:41:35 > 0:41:36police are refusing to confirm

0:41:36 > 0:41:38the number or identities of the hostages

0:41:38 > 0:41:40still being held at gunpoint

0:41:40 > 0:41:42by sacked DJ Pat Farrell.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44Fellow-DJ Alan Partridge

0:41:44 > 0:41:45is in contact with the police,

0:41:45 > 0:41:48who are now set up at the school behind me.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50What would you like us to play, Iris?

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Always On My Mind by Willie Nelson.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53Aw.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56I would love to, Iris, but unfortunately that's not in the system.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59We are only allowed play-approved tracks.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02But, Pat, you've got a gun. You can play whatever you like.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do, OK?

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Remember we used to choose our own records?

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Yeah. Or put on a compilation album if you were tired

0:42:11 > 0:42:13or couldn't be bothered.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14- LAUGHING:- Yeah.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16You like country music, Alan?

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Can't say I do, Pat.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22It's just jilted spouses complaining whilst drunk.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Also known as a date, if you're over 40.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27When a listener asks for a song and I don't have it,

0:42:27 > 0:42:29I feel like I've let them down.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32And Willie Nelson was Molly's favourite too.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35And Always On My Mind was her favourite song.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Do you remember that? The old roadshow bus.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49Remember it? I took my family camping in that.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Yeah? - That was a tough nine days.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54You see, this bus brought joy to hundreds.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56I wonder where it is now.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Probably impounded after it crushed those scouts.

0:42:59 > 0:43:00No, no, it's in the basement.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Oh?- Yeah.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Did not know that. - I used... Oh!

0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Forgot the record. Hold that, will you?- Sure.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Give me the gun, Alan. - Yeah.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25- The gun, Alan.- I was looking at my clothes before.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28Some people call it gear, don't they? Others call it an outfit.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30- CLEARING THROAT:- But I call it clobber!

0:43:31 > 0:43:32GUNSHOT

0:43:32 > 0:43:33Jesus!

0:43:33 > 0:43:34Alan! Alan!

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Alan! Alan, give me the gun!

0:43:36 > 0:43:39- Armed police, stay where you are! - Give me the gun.

0:43:39 > 0:43:40Drop the weapon!

0:43:43 > 0:43:45Alan!

0:43:45 > 0:43:46Alan, open the door.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50I'm just trying to find some way to escape.

0:43:50 > 0:43:51Alan! Alan!

0:43:51 > 0:43:54HAMMERS AT DOOR

0:43:54 > 0:43:55Ayatollah!

0:43:58 > 0:43:59He's got a shooter.

0:44:03 > 0:44:04Aargh!

0:44:07 > 0:44:09- You all right, Alan? - Yeah, I'm fine.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11Cuddle me, cop!

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Argh!

0:44:13 > 0:44:14Target down.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Yours, I believe.

0:44:16 > 0:44:19You probably thought I was gay when I gave you that cuddle.

0:44:19 > 0:44:20Don't worry, I'm not.

0:44:20 > 0:44:23- You're really cool, Alan. - Yeah, we think you're cool.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Thank you. Sorry, who are you?

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Jason Statham.

0:44:29 > 0:44:30Jason Bourne.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Jason Argonaut.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35- Jason Argonaut? - Mm.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38- It's Jason AND the Argonauts. - Yes.

0:44:38 > 0:44:39Are you all right?

0:44:39 > 0:44:43You just said, "clobber" and then "Jason and the Argonauts".

0:44:43 > 0:44:46- Oh, sorry. - All right.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49- We go?- Yeah.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Oh, er...by the way, thanks for not taking the gun.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Oh...that's fine.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56- RADIO:- You're listening to Pat Farrell and this is Willie Nelson,

0:44:56 > 0:44:58Always On My Mind.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01For someone who's always on my mind, my late wife Molly.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04# Maybe I didn't love you

0:45:07 > 0:45:10# Quite as often as I could have

0:45:14 > 0:45:17# Maybe I didn't treat you... #

0:45:21 > 0:45:23- Does that man look 59 to you? - I didn't look.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27- I just put his name into Google Images.- This is Pat Farrell!

0:45:27 > 0:45:31That is a Pat Farrell. Do I have to do everything?

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Ma'am, you'd better hear this.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35It's taken from the transcript of the broadcast.

0:45:35 > 0:45:370100 hours. "Partridge:

0:45:37 > 0:45:40"I wish this was abroad, because it would make a brilliant Banged Up Abroad.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42"Farrell: What's Banged Up Abroad?

0:45:42 > 0:45:45"Partridge: You don't know Banged Up Abroad? Farrell: No.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47"Partridge: Everyone knows Banged Up Abroad.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49"Farrell: I don't. What is Banged Up Abroad?

0:45:49 > 0:45:52"Partridge: You seriously don't know Banged Up Abroad?

0:45:52 > 0:45:53"You have to be shitting me.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55"Farrell: I've never even heard of..."

0:45:55 > 0:45:58Just get to the bit where they stop saying Banged Up Abroad.

0:46:01 > 0:46:05"Sidekick Simon: I once banged up a broad."

0:46:05 > 0:46:08"Partridge: That's the best you've got, even with a gun to your head?"

0:46:08 > 0:46:11He's got a gun to his head.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14I remember once coming to in a skip in the middle of the afternoon

0:46:14 > 0:46:16with my underpants in my mouth.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18And then I realised: "Oh, these are not my pants!"

0:46:18 > 0:46:20HE LAUGHS

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Oh, I can laugh about it now but, you know, back then...

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Sssh, ssh. What's that?

0:46:25 > 0:46:27HELICOPTER ROTORS

0:46:27 > 0:46:29POLICE RADIO: Move into position, over.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31It's the police.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35If you like canapes that are on the turn, we've hit the mother lode.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38Oblong plate, square bowl. Go figure. Whatever happened to circles?

0:46:38 > 0:46:41I mean, I've heard of a square meal but that's ridiculous.

0:46:41 > 0:46:42HE LAUGHS

0:46:42 > 0:46:44I was just saying I've heard of a square meal.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46Alan! Alan! Ssh, ssh.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48- We think it's the police. - Wait.

0:46:48 > 0:46:49QUIET BUMP

0:46:49 > 0:46:51- That definitely came from in there. - That's just a cupboard.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54- It's not even an outside wall. - Careful.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56- No, Jason... - I'll protect you.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59JASON: It's not an outside wall. Look, I'll show you. Look.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Michael? - Aye, aye, Mr Partridge.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05What are you hiding in there for?

0:47:05 > 0:47:08I found myself a place of concealment, like when I was on manoeuvres.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11Take your light off. You're blinding everyone you speak to.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13Now it's flashing. Sorry.

0:47:13 > 0:47:17Michael, you look like some sort of big Geordie Anne Frank.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19- How long have you been here? - All night.

0:47:19 > 0:47:21- What did you eat?- I had me lunch box.

0:47:21 > 0:47:22- Where did you go to the toilet? - No.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24I had me lunch box. ALL GROAN

0:47:24 > 0:47:27Thank God it's got a smoky finish with an airtight seal.

0:47:27 > 0:47:29I tell you what. It seals in the freshness.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31No, Michael. It seals out the freshness.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33What is going on in here?

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Michael's just visiting us from the cupboard.

0:47:35 > 0:47:36No need to get shouty-shouty.

0:47:36 > 0:47:39- Did those Goredale bastards put you up to this?- No.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41No, no. I've been in here a few nights.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43- No, one night.- No, a few nights.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45A few nights this week and the week before.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47- Why?- Me brother wanted the bed to himself.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49Ah, yes. Michael suffers from night terrors.

0:47:49 > 0:47:51He thrashes about like a big salmon.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53What's in the box?

0:47:53 > 0:47:56Er...Michael... Michael let himself down.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01I'm really sorry, I done a shit in the box.

0:48:01 > 0:48:04Well, get rid of it. Throw it out the window.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Fall back! Fall back!

0:48:12 > 0:48:13Armed police!

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Identify yourself! Identify yourself!

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Alan Partridge. Who the f...? Alan Partridge!

0:48:18 > 0:48:21You know who I am. I haven't been off the TV that long.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24- "Identify yourself"(!) - MEGAPHONE: Alan, it's OK, I'm here. You're safe.

0:48:24 > 0:48:26Yeah, tell them to stop pointing their guns at me.

0:48:26 > 0:48:29- Lower your weapons. - Yeah, lower your weapons.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33Take your hand off your gun. Take your hand off your gun.

0:48:33 > 0:48:36And the other hand. I can wait here all day.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37Do as he says.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Thank you. Why do you have to turn it into a competition?

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Just because I won. OK.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44OK. Stop. Pat, stop tugging me.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46I told you, I've got a very sensitive tummy.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47Who are you talking to, Alan?

0:48:47 > 0:48:49I've got Pat on the end of the line in both senses.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52I'm tethered to the building via this rope and relaying messages

0:48:52 > 0:48:55from Pat via this state-of-the-art Sennheiser 1000 head set.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58Nice bit of kit. Yeah, I'm telling them that now.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00If you'd listened, you'd know I'm telling them.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03- Pat says "Hi". - Hi, Pat.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06And hi to your fellow officers.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08OTHERS: Hi. Hi, Pat.

0:49:08 > 0:49:12Alan, listen. Pat works with us here, this can all end well. OK?

0:49:12 > 0:49:14- I give him my word. - OK, just... Yep.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16OK. Pat, you've got to... you're rambling.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19You've got to be more concise. What do you want? "I want a helicopter."

0:49:19 > 0:49:21That's just an example, by the way.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24Yeah, OK. He wants a helicopter.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26MARTIN: That might not be possible, Alan.

0:49:26 > 0:49:29But let's dialogue. What else can we do for him?

0:49:32 > 0:49:34SCREAMING

0:49:35 > 0:49:38Pat says, "Fucking stupid pigs. What the hell's going on?"

0:49:38 > 0:49:41Pat, listen to me. That was not an attack, OK?

0:49:41 > 0:49:45We just had to dispose of a box around the corner in a controlled manner.

0:49:45 > 0:49:47Pat would prefer it if you spoke through me, as would I.

0:49:47 > 0:49:51Martin says they deployed a remote RV fitted with a disruptor

0:49:51 > 0:49:55to neutralise a suspected IED. He doesn't know what you're talking about. He's quite angry.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58- He's honking in my ear like a mad Irish goose. - LAUGHTER

0:49:58 > 0:50:00MAN: Aha! WOMEN: We love you, Alan!

0:50:00 > 0:50:02Um...do you mind? It's not a radio roadshow.

0:50:02 > 0:50:06- I'm trying to host a siege here. - We love you, Alan!

0:50:06 > 0:50:09Get away. Who said that?

0:50:09 > 0:50:10What's it like in there?

0:50:10 > 0:50:14Ah...scary, stressful, lots of shouting.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16A bit like being married again.

0:50:16 > 0:50:17LAUGHTER

0:50:17 > 0:50:20And there's a crazy person running around with a gun.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22So it's a lot like being married again.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24LAUGHTER

0:50:24 > 0:50:28And er...when I saw a guy with a shotgun in his mouth begging for mercy, then...

0:50:28 > 0:50:30- LAUGHTER - You're ahead of me.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32You're ahead of me. A lot of you are.

0:50:32 > 0:50:35He's still got his hand on his gun. He thinks I don't know. Yeah, you.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37- I'm looking at you. Peripheral vision.- Alan.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40- I'm not retreating, Pat's tugging me off. - LAUGHTER

0:50:40 > 0:50:44- No, come on. We're better than that. Guys, seriously.- Alan, wait!

0:50:44 > 0:50:47By the way, there's an extra hostage. Meant to tell you that.

0:50:51 > 0:50:53In a surprise development, DJ Alan Partridge

0:50:53 > 0:50:56appeared outside the building, while tethered to a rope.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00Footage of his address is already one of the most viewed YouTube videos

0:51:00 > 0:51:02since "Fat Woman Falls Down Hole".

0:51:02 > 0:51:04Mr Partridge, whose Facebook page

0:51:04 > 0:51:07lists one of his interests as hand-to-hand combat,

0:51:07 > 0:51:11has been acting as mediator between police and the hostage-taker, Pat Farrell.

0:51:11 > 0:51:15As people around the world ask, who is Alan Partridge?

0:51:16 > 0:51:18- ALAN:- That was a majestic voice.

0:51:18 > 0:51:23You can keep Jesus. As far as I'm concerned, Neil Diamond will always be King of the Jews.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25You are listening to...

0:51:25 > 0:51:28JINGLE: The partridge and the poacher.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29SQUAWK AND GUNSHOT

0:51:29 > 0:51:33And what I believe is a world first, I, Alan Partridge, a hostage,

0:51:33 > 0:51:37broadcasting live from a siege at gunpoint.

0:51:37 > 0:51:38Pure class, Alan.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42And today, we'll be asking, what was better in the olden days?

0:51:42 > 0:51:45OK, Pat, shoot. I mean, you know, start speaking.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46- Terry in Necton.- Egypt.

0:51:46 > 0:51:49- I'm liking this.- They used to build the pyramids,

0:51:49 > 0:51:51now they can't get you a taxi to the airport.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Terry, I like the way you think. Please call again.

0:51:53 > 0:51:54- Will do.- Nicholas in Weybourne.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57- Nurses were better in the old days.- Bull's-eye.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00They used to be these Florence Nightingale-type figures.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03These days it's just, you know, short-haired women in trousers

0:52:03 > 0:52:04washing their own hands at a sink.

0:52:04 > 0:52:08Later on, I'll be asking which vegetable has the greatest torsional strength

0:52:08 > 0:52:11ie, which can withstand the greatest twisting load before rupture?

0:52:11 > 0:52:14- Caroline in Sprowston.- Beards were better in the olden days.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16- Love it. - Sebastian in Holt.

0:52:16 > 0:52:18- UK manufacturing. - Good. Good, but dull.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20- Paul in East Runton. - Kill 'em all, Pat.

0:52:20 > 0:52:21Shoot the women first.

0:52:21 > 0:52:26We'll also be asking, have you ever met a genuinely clever bus driver?

0:52:26 > 0:52:28I wonder what the listening figures are for this.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Yeah. Can you stop drumming?

0:52:30 > 0:52:32OK. Time for fact of the day.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35VOICEOVER: Fact of the day. Sponsored by Norfolk Dairies.

0:52:35 > 0:52:36COWS MOO

0:52:36 > 0:52:39- Cows don't have hymens. - Absolutely correct.

0:52:39 > 0:52:42Cows do not have hymens, just a partially opened cervix.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44The time is 10:22.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47Right now, to your muster stations. It's Bryan Ferry.

0:52:47 > 0:52:49MUSIC: Let's Stick Together by Bryan Ferry

0:52:49 > 0:52:52Ah...that was...that was er...

0:52:52 > 0:52:53- Very good.- Yeah. Radio gravy.

0:52:53 > 0:52:55Wow.

0:52:55 > 0:52:58I suppose you forget about the gun after a while, don't you?

0:52:58 > 0:53:00- No, I don't.- OK.

0:53:00 > 0:53:02Good.

0:53:08 > 0:53:11Lynn! Lynn Benfield, can we have a word?

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Oh, Alan doesn't like me speaking to the press.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17- We're not press. We're television. - Well, I'm... I'm not really...

0:53:17 > 0:53:19We've got hair and make-up.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22Oh!

0:53:22 > 0:53:25Back now to Norwich, where DJ Alan Partridge

0:53:25 > 0:53:28- continues to bring news of the radio...- Ah, Angela?

0:53:28 > 0:53:31- Someone wants a word with you. - Who?

0:53:31 > 0:53:32Him.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35Tensions on the Korean peninsula continue...

0:53:35 > 0:53:37- Why? - ..following Kim Jongil...

0:53:37 > 0:53:39- Oh...shit. - CHANGES TV CHANNEL

0:53:39 > 0:53:41- TV:- Vegas, I was doing kind of...

0:54:07 > 0:54:10- Inside, Partridge seems unfazed...- Ah, him.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12- Me on TV. Good photo. - He tried instead

0:54:12 > 0:54:15to calm the gunman by joining him in the studio.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17Yes, just your basic disabled loo.

0:54:17 > 0:54:22You've got your lowered seat pan, back pad, high-vis grab bar, panic cord, lady bin.

0:54:22 > 0:54:23Alan, calm down. You're being all hectic.

0:54:23 > 0:54:27This is because you're on TV, isn't it? You're all puffed up like a robin.

0:54:27 > 0:54:29It's like you can see in me.

0:54:29 > 0:54:33Alan, you didn't bring me in here to talk about disabled toilet facilities, did you?

0:54:33 > 0:54:35Yeah, I did. No, I didn't.

0:54:38 > 0:54:41Oh, wow. Lynn, you look fantastic.

0:54:45 > 0:54:47Good gracious.

0:54:49 > 0:54:50WHISTLING

0:54:50 > 0:54:53I'm sorry about the nasal whistle. It's when I'm anxious.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55WHISTLING

0:54:56 > 0:54:58WHISTLING STOPS

0:54:58 > 0:55:00BOTH MOAN

0:55:09 > 0:55:13You know... You know, "Shape - the way you want it to be"?

0:55:13 > 0:55:16- Yeah?- Your shape's the way I want it to be.

0:55:16 > 0:55:17I'm on about your body.

0:55:20 > 0:55:24- What might this be? - That...is my damned todger.

0:55:24 > 0:55:29And it's all the fault of a certain Miss Angela...

0:55:29 > 0:55:31I'm sorry, I don't know your second name.

0:55:31 > 0:55:34He's very brave. He was once feeding ducks in the park.

0:55:34 > 0:55:37One took a peck at him and instead of retreating, he hit it with the back of his hand.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40HE MOUTHS

0:55:40 > 0:55:41TV: DJ Alan Partridge...

0:55:41 > 0:55:43- Hi.- You got time for a quick wawa?

0:55:43 > 0:55:45- What?- Quick wawa.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48- Oh, you mean "wawa"? - Yeah. Yeah.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50- Sorry. You just did a different noise.- Sorry.

0:55:50 > 0:55:54Look...how are you feeling about this whole media circus? How you feeling?

0:55:54 > 0:55:55Between you and me, pretty puffed up.

0:55:55 > 0:55:58- Like an owl. - Let's hope you're a wise one.

0:55:58 > 0:56:01Nice. I pitched it up, you knocked it out of the park.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Synergy. Oh, no, that's lesbians.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05Let me tell you something, Alan.

0:56:05 > 0:56:09As far as the press is concerned, you are the face of this siege.

0:56:10 > 0:56:12- I am siege face. - Exactly.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15After this, you'll get more offers than a whore at our Christmas party.

0:56:15 > 0:56:17BOTH LAUGH

0:56:17 > 0:56:19I like that. Yeah, I like that.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23You'd know a thing or two about that, wouldn't you?

0:56:23 > 0:56:27That would be... "Mmm-hmm," he says. That's a moustache.

0:56:27 > 0:56:28Seriously, did you give her one?

0:56:28 > 0:56:32Well, I...I gave her a ruddy big kiss she won't forget in a hurry.

0:56:32 > 0:56:35Hand on the outside of the bra. Er...you know, reconnaissance.

0:56:36 > 0:56:41And then I just held her in my arms because she told me she never knew her mother, and I said,

0:56:41 > 0:56:44"Well, my mother raised me and lived to a ripe old age.

0:56:44 > 0:56:48"But guess what? I never really knew HER."

0:56:48 > 0:56:49Erm...and...

0:56:49 > 0:56:50CLEARS THROAT

0:56:50 > 0:56:53To get back on track, erm...

0:56:53 > 0:56:55Yeah, I mean... Yeah, whoo!

0:56:55 > 0:56:57- I like you.- I like you.

0:56:57 > 0:56:59He likes me, Lynn. Jason Tresswell likes me.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01- Alan? Are you OK? - I've got to be quick.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04Pat thinks I've borrowed his phone to play Angry Birds.

0:57:04 > 0:57:06- Of course. What is it? - A computerised bird-throwing game.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09- No, I meant... - I'm joking, Lynn.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11Enjoy me. Everyone else is.

0:57:11 > 0:57:13Goredale Media think I'm some sort of Christ 2.0.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16Do you know, I'm within a brair's headth of getting the breakfast show.

0:57:16 > 0:57:19I'll call myself the Morning Rooster, or the Talking Cock.

0:57:19 > 0:57:22- You're not thinking clearly. - Yes, I am.

0:57:22 > 0:57:23Lynn, I'll say this once and I'll say it again.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27My career's getting a shot in the arm and if I can stay in here to the bitter end,

0:57:27 > 0:57:31I will be the biggest thing to come out of Norwich since...Lord Nelson or Trisha.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33Think about that and what that means.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35Your priority is the welfare of the hostages.

0:57:35 > 0:57:37Good, put that out as a press release and say I said it.

0:57:37 > 0:57:39Alan, your ego's getting the better of you.

0:57:39 > 0:57:43I've just got to stay alert and focused. I'm playing them like an oboe, Lynn.

0:57:43 > 0:57:45How effed up is that?

0:57:46 > 0:57:48- Alan? Alan?- Oh...

0:58:09 > 0:58:10HE GROANS

0:58:10 > 0:58:11Ohh! Christ's sake.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17Not now. Oh, God.

0:58:18 > 0:58:20I'm caught on the latch.

0:58:24 > 0:58:25HE GASPS

0:58:33 > 0:58:35Oh, come on. Please.

0:58:44 > 0:58:47Stop, armed police! Get your hands above your head.

0:58:47 > 0:58:50- I've just got... - Get your hands above your head!

0:58:50 > 0:58:53- I want to get those trousers. - Do it! Hands above your head.

0:58:53 > 0:58:56- They're my trousers. - Get your hands above your head now!

0:59:00 > 0:59:02What are you doing? It's weird.

0:59:03 > 0:59:06There are paparazzi all over the place

0:59:06 > 0:59:08and I do not want them to get a photograph of my genitals.

0:59:08 > 0:59:10CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING

0:59:10 > 0:59:13- Oh, come on! - That's it, look at me.

0:59:20 > 0:59:23And how were the hostages when you left?

0:59:23 > 0:59:25- Crouched. - I mean, what's their state of mind?

0:59:25 > 0:59:29Oh. Er... If I'm honest, a bit moany. Yeah. Is someone writing this down?

0:59:29 > 0:59:31- Yeah.- Sorry. I thought you were some clothes.

0:59:31 > 0:59:34Thanks for the forensic trousers, by the way.

0:59:34 > 0:59:37- Could you just um...? - Crikey. Yeah, sorry.

0:59:37 > 0:59:40I was actually going to fashion a sort of makeshift modesty sporran

0:59:40 > 0:59:42from the vacant arm flaps.

0:59:46 > 0:59:50- CLEARS THROAT - OK, I think we're done here.

0:59:50 > 0:59:53Any chance of freshening up? I just need to wipe my face with a big hot towel.

0:59:53 > 0:59:56Presumably you want to use me as part of your media strat?

0:59:58 > 1:00:00No.

1:00:00 > 1:00:01- Do you agree?- 100%.

1:00:01 > 1:00:03Gotcha.

1:00:03 > 1:00:07The police said you could do media interviews when the siege is over.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09It will be too late then, Lynn. People move on.

1:00:09 > 1:00:12Goredale Media will move on.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14But you're still being talked about.

1:00:14 > 1:00:18Only cos every time I look at the telly, they're showing a picture of my arse.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21It's all right for you. Every other time I look, they show a picture of your face.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24And then the next time surprise, surprise, my arse again.

1:00:24 > 1:00:26I was only telling people about you.

1:00:26 > 1:00:32You know, I was Goredale's golden goose, and now I'm just Partridge pie, with peas.

1:00:32 > 1:00:34But why do you want to work for people like that?

1:00:34 > 1:00:37- Goredale are bullies.- Yeah. And what do you do with a bully?

1:00:37 > 1:00:40You make friends with the bully, so they bully someone else.

1:00:40 > 1:00:43- "What doth it profit a man..." - Doth?

1:00:43 > 1:00:47"..if he gains the whole world yet loses his soul?" Matthew, chapter eight...

1:00:47 > 1:00:50Yeah, I know who wrote it. I'm not going to sell my soul, Lynn.

1:00:50 > 1:00:55I want to, if you like, lend my soul to Goredale Media

1:00:55 > 1:00:57on a long-term basis for cash.

1:00:57 > 1:00:58It's a very different thing.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00HE CROAKS

1:01:03 > 1:01:05I don't know how you can look yourself in the eye.

1:01:05 > 1:01:07I can't, Lynn. My nose is in the way.

1:01:07 > 1:01:09You can talk, prattling away on every news bulletin.

1:01:09 > 1:01:11I mean, who the heck do you think you are?

1:01:14 > 1:01:16- I'm Lynn Benfield. - You don't look like Lynn Benfield.

1:01:16 > 1:01:20I mean, what has happened to you, with your attitude and your hair?

1:01:20 > 1:01:21You've literally become a big head.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25- I like it.- I take no pleasure in saying this, Lynn,

1:01:25 > 1:01:28but a lot of people think it looks like a photograph of an explosion.

1:01:30 > 1:01:32I don't know if I want to work for a man like you.

1:01:32 > 1:01:35I don't know that I want to employ someone who looks like a madam.

1:01:35 > 1:01:36And I don't mean a Parisian one

1:01:36 > 1:01:40I mean, one who lives in a terraced house behind a train station.

1:01:46 > 1:01:48NASAL WHISTLE

1:01:52 > 1:01:56Doors opening! Armed police! Armed police!

1:01:56 > 1:01:59Oh, shut up, will you? Stop shouting.

1:01:59 > 1:02:02- Easy, Pat. Mind the steps. - I'm able to walk down steps, all right?

1:02:02 > 1:02:05He means because the gun's against my head.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08- Everybody has an opinion, huh? - Hear, hear. Well said.

1:02:08 > 1:02:10- Oh.- Hi, Pat.

1:02:10 > 1:02:13Hey, Alan. What happened? We were in the middle of a show,

1:02:13 > 1:02:15and then your arse is all over the internet.

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Looked like you had a turkey's head between your legs.

1:02:17 > 1:02:20No, it didn't. No, it didn't. It doesn't have a beak.

1:02:20 > 1:02:22And, yeah, I took an executive decision

1:02:22 > 1:02:24to stow my cock and balls up against my backside.

1:02:24 > 1:02:27I can't believe you left me with this nutcase.

1:02:27 > 1:02:29Hang on a minute, you're the one with the gun.

1:02:29 > 1:02:32- See? He's hilarious. - He's solid. He's solid.

1:02:32 > 1:02:35- Pizzas coming through now, Pat.- Hey. Hey, hey. Hold on. Helmet off.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44Oh, hello.

1:02:47 > 1:02:49Actually, I want Alan to bring them in.

1:02:51 > 1:02:55That might not be possible, Pat. Alan's not prepared to do that.

1:02:55 > 1:02:57No... I am prepared to do that.

1:02:57 > 1:02:59- It's not that simple.- Do you want me to release some people?

1:02:59 > 1:03:01Sure. Let's talk about that.

1:03:01 > 1:03:03Alan, what do you reckon if I let the women go?

1:03:03 > 1:03:07Yeah, let a couple of the women go. Maybe keep Angela.

1:03:07 > 1:03:09- But her kids will be worried sick.- She's got kids?

1:03:09 > 1:03:12Yeah. Two boys, 14 and 15.

1:03:13 > 1:03:15I believe they're a real handful.

1:03:15 > 1:03:17Yeah, what was I thinking? Let all the women go.

1:03:17 > 1:03:20Pat, give me five minutes with head office.

1:03:20 > 1:03:22He's bringing them in now. Alan, come on.

1:03:22 > 1:03:24- Top one.- Top one.

1:03:24 > 1:03:28- Yeah, yeah, cheers, guys. Top one. - OK, come on, son.

1:03:29 > 1:03:31Oh, shit.

1:03:34 > 1:03:37Why did you say hello to that delivery guy?

1:03:37 > 1:03:42Oh, him? No, he just reminded me of a man I know called Mike Cable,

1:03:42 > 1:03:46who did my accounts from '97 to '98.

1:03:46 > 1:03:48Actually, no - '99.

1:03:48 > 1:03:50Till he stopped because his daughter was very ill.

1:03:50 > 1:03:52Yeah, it was touch-and-go, actually.

1:03:52 > 1:03:56He and Sandra were in bits, they had to cancel their holiday.

1:03:56 > 1:03:57It was a fly-drive to Tuscany.

1:03:57 > 1:04:02I must tell him, actually, that there's a policeman that looks just like him.

1:04:02 > 1:04:03What's that?

1:04:03 > 1:04:06Must tell Mike that there's a pizza man who looks just like him.

1:04:07 > 1:04:09I'm famished.

1:04:12 > 1:04:14- Ladies, you're free to go. - What?

1:04:14 > 1:04:16- Yep. - God bless you, Pat.

1:04:16 > 1:04:17See you. Bye.

1:04:17 > 1:04:19I'll make you a home-made pizza when you get out.

1:04:19 > 1:04:21Yeah, these pizzas are pretty good.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25- Cinderella.- Yeah, well...

1:04:25 > 1:04:28No, hers was... That was a glass one, wasn't it?

1:04:30 > 1:04:31DAVE: Here comes the Tin Man.

1:04:40 > 1:04:43- Just trying to find your pizza. - Well, just give me that one.

1:04:45 > 1:04:46- Hm?- That one.

1:04:46 > 1:04:48- Which one?- The top one!

1:04:50 > 1:04:51Oh...

1:04:51 > 1:04:53- I'll take the pizzas.- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1:04:57 > 1:05:00- MICHAEL:- Woo-ho, stuffed crust! - Thanks for coming back, Alan.

1:05:03 > 1:05:05- What are you doing? - I'm just seeing how you'll look

1:05:05 > 1:05:08on the billboard for when you start on The Breakfast Show.

1:05:08 > 1:05:11- The Breakfast Show? - Alan, can I have a word?

1:05:11 > 1:05:14Yeah, sure. Just bringing the pizza cutter.

1:05:15 > 1:05:17Right, how many do you want. Six or eight?

1:05:17 > 1:05:19Oh, my God, that's a Taser!

1:05:19 > 1:05:23This is no use, it's a pizza cutter. And that is not a pizza.

1:05:23 > 1:05:26Thing is, how did it get there? Erm...

1:05:26 > 1:05:30Unless the pizza company are running a competition in which you win a Taser.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33That doesn't make sense, does it? Do you realise, it's the police?

1:05:33 > 1:05:37The ruddy po... Do you know... They've got some brass neck for a bunch of coppers.

1:05:37 > 1:05:39I'm actually really angry about that.

1:05:39 > 1:05:41You should keep that as an extra weapon.

1:05:41 > 1:05:45What kind of fool do you take me for, eh? I'm one step ahead of all of you.

1:05:45 > 1:05:48And I'm just a step behind you, mate.

1:05:48 > 1:05:50- Ooh.- Never take your eye off the ball, Pat.

1:05:50 > 1:05:52First rule of business.

1:05:52 > 1:05:54Second rule of business, always be prepared for an opportunity

1:05:54 > 1:05:57when it arises, like I was just then.

1:05:57 > 1:05:59Yeah.

1:05:59 > 1:06:02Course I wouldn't expect you to understand that. It's Darwinian.

1:06:02 > 1:06:05- You're a runt. - Is that what you think, Alan?

1:06:05 > 1:06:07HE STRUMS

1:06:07 > 1:06:09I wouldn't quite, you know, use those words.

1:06:09 > 1:06:12Well, I think... I think...

1:06:12 > 1:06:14The sort of the gist of what, you know...

1:06:14 > 1:06:15I just don't like bullies.

1:06:16 > 1:06:20- Um...can I take this off, please? - Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure.

1:06:20 > 1:06:22- No, I'm talking to him. - Oh, for fuck's sake.

1:06:22 > 1:06:25- Yeah, go ahead. - Thank you.

1:06:25 > 1:06:27Are you all right?

1:06:27 > 1:06:30Well, I was worried about the old head but I think I've got a handle on it.

1:06:31 > 1:06:33- Very witty. - Alan's a smart cookie, Pat.

1:06:35 > 1:06:38He's treated this whole crisis like a business opportunity.

1:06:38 > 1:06:44He's taken a look around him and he's thought, "How can I make this work for me?"

1:06:44 > 1:06:46- Well done, Alan.- Cheers.

1:06:46 > 1:06:49- Yeah, well done, Alan. - Thank you.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51You know, you and me, we've got something going here.

1:06:51 > 1:06:56Pat might be a dinosaur, filling his show with chitchat and phone-ins like it's 1983,

1:06:56 > 1:06:57but you're one of us.
