[edit] Biography of a Man
By David Pursglove (Wormo)
- Alan Gordon Partridge was born in the Colney Norwich Hospital in 1961. During his schooldays in Norwich, Alan was bullied by Stephen McCoombe, who called Alan, "Smelly Alan Fartridge". This later escalated into having a chalk penis drawn on his back which Alan was caned for.
- In the same school, he came accross his love for sport when he won a competition for an essay he wrote, on the same subject.
[edit] The Graduation Years
- These years were tough for Alan, after working his way up from a hospital DJ, he presented a slot on BBC Radio 4's "On The Hour" presented by Chris Morris, although Alan lacked the sporting knowledge he does today, this is where he learned is talent for crazed metaphors.
[edit] On The Radio and Television
- In the year 1992, on the same Radio station as "On The Hour" Alan was offered a chance to present his very own show. Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge Although his show didn't go as to planned. He has a wide range of guests on the show which ended up killing him and his wife's relationship (Carol Partridge)when he opened up with all the listeneres that he was a homophobe, hit a child and lost his wife's car in a senseless bet.
- After his radio failure in 1992, he was offered another job on the Television show The Day Today where he left his job as a Television presenter and went back to doing sports for his friend Chris Morris. The Day Today was a success for the whole team which followed the news, sport and daily television including The Pool and The Bureau The next step for Alan would be a risky one, as he transfered to television to reprise a new version of Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge.
- His new television show, Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge started off big, with guests such as Roger Moore (who got lost on the way to the studio) and show jumper Carole Lewis however, his first and only series did not go to plan when he fired his house band, Glenn Ponder, insulted every guest to come on his show and shoot dead, a guest, with Lord Byron's duelling Pistols.
- After his Personal Assistant, Lynn Benfield cleared cleared his case officially, he brought back his show to do one more christmas special. The fate of his second series would depend how it lasted. He therefore invited the Director of programming at BBC, Mr. Tony Hayers and a series of guests including a famous handicapped golfer in a wheelchair. The biggest flaw in Knowing Me Knowing Yule (the apply named Christmas Special) was Alan's Norwich Car Dealers product advertisement that was shown, in which through, The Name Rover (As in, the make of a car) showed up much like Sprunt (The Tangy Tropical Orange Drink) in his earlier series.
- Towards the end of the show, Alan punched Tony Hayers and the man in the wheelchair and proclaimed that his career in BBC was over. This was when his big finish (to pull a dialysis machine out of a world's biggest cracker) failed and the studio went up in flames. "It's Live Television so we never know what's going to happen!"
[edit] The P.A Years
- A few years later, in 1997, Alan was invited to Radio Norwich to do a 4am slot on the radio called Up With a Partridge where he still manages to slander off his partner Dave Clifton and his general listeners including regular callers, Mary and Roy.
- During the year, Alan resides at Linton Travel Tavern located in the London area, and during one of his first weeks, he get's invited to a meal with Tony Hayers to discuss his second series, unfortunatley, Hayers stabbed all of Alan's ideas including Knowing M.E Knowing You With Alan Partridge, Arm Wrestling with Chaz and Dave, Intercity Sumo and Monkey Tennis.
- During his stay at the Linton Travel Tavern he get's kidnapped by a very ecstatic fan called Jed Maxwell, towards the same time, he get's a Hamilton Waterways advert deal where he featured on the tv for a few months, he could not finish the advert however because, during filming, a cow was thrown aboard his boat and on top of Alan.
- On the last day at Linton Travel Tavern, Tony Hayers fell from his roof and died, a new Head of programmed was instituted by died before he could give Alan a second Series. However, Alan forged the contract allowing him to make an appearence on Comic Relief for one night before his second series.
[edit] Comic Capers and Chocolate
- In the later years of 1999, Alan appeared on Comic Relief (the one that secured his second series), however, Alan begins to think it's his show and starts taking matter into his own hands, during which his friend Micheal (who previously worked in the Travel Tavern) collected money for Children in Need
- For the next three years of Alan's life, he remained unstable, in which he took his car, avoided his P.A and drove up to Dundee in his Bare feet where he stopped and ate Toblerone and bought the rights to the Robot dog from Dr. Who, K-9. Later on, he then suffered a range of panic attacks
- When he thought he was ready to make a comeback, he signed up with Meteor to produce a short video called Crash Bang Wallop, What a Video!. Soon after, he lost all his gained weight and finally got a girlfriend. Sonja (33) from the Ulkraine arrived in Alan's life in 2002, when his road back up got him a book of his own.
