11 Reasons Why You Should Listen To Monkey Tennis: The Alan Partridge Podcast

Four dalendless shids have got together and created 'Monkey Tennis: The Alan Partridge Podcast'. You can subscribe here, but if you need more convincing, here's why you should listen...

1. The four hosts have been shit-chatting about doing this podcast for years

Three of us were at the Alpha Papa premiere and one went to the filming, so like Jill, we really know our onions (maybe).

2. Celebrity (well, Jet from Gladiators) revelations

We get to the bottom of a tale involving Jet from Gladiators, a chart topping UK rock band and the Brit Awards.

3. We've invented a game called Cards Against Alanity

Ever wondered what a combination of Alan Partridge and Cards Against Humanity would be like? WONDER NO MORE.

(Hopefully we won't have a stop Cards Against Alanity following a court injunction from the makers of Cards Against Humanity.)

4. Hot chat on our favourite Alan moments

For example: "Tony Hayers was a bit of a knob wasn't he."*

See, absolute gold.

*Not sure if we actually say this in the first episode, but we added it anyway for the purposes of a joke.

5. Each episode will be about an hour long

Look, we know that Norwich to London is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes in the car, but after week 2 of the podcast, that should just about cover you.

6. It's the only Partridge podcast out there

...that we could find after literally only 2 minutes of research.

7. Later in the series we're going to try Ladyboys (the drink) during the podcast

Hopefully we won't all pass out after three quarters of an hour. It would be great if Simon Pegg is there though!

8. We're going to attempt to track down the real Jed Maxwell

Well, the actor that plays him...Ian Sharrock and find out if THAT tattoo is real.

9. We plan to speak to a genuine Norwichian about the impact of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre

Especially re: access to Diiiiixoooooons!

10. We'll 100% scoff some shop soiled Chocolate Oranges whilst trying to expertly broadcast

Chocolate Oranges are available from Rawlinson's. We just had to say that.

11. Unlike Alan, there will be a second series
