Susan Foley- a manager who almost manages to keep her cool to the very end...
Don't sing Susan... it sounds baaaaaaad- says our hero Alan Partridge when he hears the Linton Travel Tavern Manager Susan Foley singing Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. He then crassly remarks that -You'd think she sounded like an angel... but in fact she sounds like a trapped boy...

You would think Susan would clobber Alan for these horrific remarks- along with other such gems as - Tea or Coffee... Tea or Coffee- and when he describes her as a robot working in the hotel with a painted on smile, and a chest full of wires...
Susan does manage to keep her council with Alan, however, she does decide to have some fun at his expense. This comes when she sneakily asks Alan whether -he's getting out (of the lift) here, or going all the way with her- when this is blindingly obvious what she actually means!
However, in the last episode, during Alan's leaving party, she finally explodes in an uncontrollable rage as she has put up with Alan's crap for 182 days (you little shit), and she finally belts him across the face. Even for Alan fans this is completely acceptable- he certainly put her through the ringer.

Susan Foley is played excellently by Barbara Durkin who hails from Steve Coogan's native Manchester. She also appeared in Knowing Me, Knowing You, Brass Eye, Midsomer Murders and My Parents are Aliens. She trained at the Manchester Polytechnic School of Drama.
