While it’s rated as the worst episode of I’m Alan Partridge, “I Know What Alan Did Last Summer” still has a pretty impressive IMDb score. The first half of the episode is a lampoon of the taxman as Alan tries to get through an audit knowing full well that he’s “guilty as hell” of tax fraud. In the second half, Alan’s U2-obsessed girlfriend Sonja as...
The first episode of the series, “A Room with an Alan” follows on from Alan’s disastrous antics in Knowing Me, Knowing Yule, the Christmas special of his chat show in which he punched the director of BBC programming in the face on live television. He meets with that same executive for lunch in the hopes of scoring a second season of Knowing Me, Kno...
In the series finale “Alan Wide Shut,” the builders finally finish work on Alan’s new house, Lynn gets baptized, and the unsold copies of Alan’s book Bouncing Backare pulped. The episode is filled with classic moments, like Alan contending with a fellow author on a Christian radio show and Rob Brydon insulting his ability to tell anecdotes.
The season 2 premiere “The Talented Mr. Alan” catches up with Alan a few years later. He’s living in a caravan while his house is being built, he’s got a Ukrainian girlfriend named Sonja, and he’s now got a slightly better timeslot than Dave Clifton. But it’s still the same old Alan. He gives a self-indulgent talk at his alma mater, presents car cr...

While the travel tavern is being renovated, Alan finds himself consumed by boredom in “Basic Alan.” He fills his time by buying tungsten-tipped screws, driving around the ring road, and bothering Lynn. When he catches the staff of the travel tavern making fun of him behind his back, Alan tries to retaliate by dressing up as a zombie in a practical ...
In the season 1 finale “Towering Alan,” the BBC commissioning editor who rejected Alan’s series ideas dies suddenly and he’s replaced by a rare TV executive that actually likes Alan. When he’s offered a five-year contract, Alan throws a party in his room at the travel tavern and invites the staff. The party goes as well as one might expect from a p...
Alan is convinced he’s found a new best friend when he meets Dan, who is eerily similar to him: they both call things “sa-a-a-ad,” they both drink Director’s Bitter, they both read the Daily Mail, they both use the same plural for Lexus — it seems like a match made in heaven. However, after hosting an awards ceremony honoring Norfolk’s bravest citi...
There are a ton of great moments in “The Color of Alan,” from Michael moving into Alan’s unfinished house after his front door is stolen to Alan mishearing the South African pronunciation of the word “can’t.” But easily the most memorable moment in this episode is when Alan pierces his foot on a spike. The comic tone is pitch-black, especially for ...
