So in To Kill A Mocking Alan, we have two major plot lines that converge and explode as if a munitions dump has been hidden under Norwich City Hall.

Scary Irish Men

On the one hand, Alan welcomes two TV executives from RTE in Ireland as they are interested in employing him to host a show in Ireland- der's more to Oireland... den dis... so obviously he is keen to impress them- so much so that he denies living in the Linton Travel Tavern and is similarly incredibly rude to Susan the hotel manager -Tea or coffee... Tea or coffee...

Jed Maxwell- Superfan

The second major plotline is that Alan is putting on An Evening with Alan Partridge with Celebrity Guest Star- Sue Cook... er... just put with Sue Cook... and in attendance is Jed Maxwell- Alan's biggest fan. 

An Evening with Alan Partridge

It's basically a TV show that isn't on TV... Alan hosts a kind of after dinner event where he basically does his Knowing Me Knowing You just without any guests and merely fields questions from his audience- well questions he wants to answer- Has your career gone off the rails a bit... er no not you, the lady behind you... I think most people were there to see Sue Cook, but most stay out of politeness!

When Alan sees the Irish executives (played by Graham Linehan and Athur Matthews the creators of Father Ted) leaving, he desperately runs to stop them in the lobby.

Jed Maxwell's bungalow

Following a brief exchange in the lobby where Alan again denies he lives in the hotel, Jed Maxwell jumps in and says that he lives with Alan in his bungalow- Alan replies... we're not gay! There's nothing wrong with it, but I believe God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. 

When they arrive at Jed's bungalow, he makes them a drink in a coffee jar, a mug, a milk jug and an Ariel-a-tor (something I had forgotten had ever existed!), then Alan accidentally opens the door to the horrific site of his fan room...

I was genuinely scared for Alan! Thankfully he makes a quick getaway, but not before saying- no way you big spastic you're a mentalist! at Jed's suggestion at having a pint next weekend!
