    I love the moment when Alan and the hotel porter (not Michael, the younger guy) were talking about ladyboys and Alan was saying that you'd never know what women are actually men. Then, Sally Phillips' character Sophie, who is completely oblivious to the conversation, comes around the corner and Alan suddenly asks "Are you a man Sophie?". Her simple deadpan reply of "No" is perfect.

    Alan compering the finals of Miss Norwich...

    Alan: Contestant number four is Maria McNulty. Maria is an Irish Roman Catholic. She says that before each beauty contest, she says a quick prayer.

    She has a 36'' bust...AVE MARIA!

    "Stop getting Bond wrong"

    And then later he's outside the caravan pretending he has a gun and throwing grenades like a kid. Then he takes a bottle of Sunny Delight and spills it like its oil and he is going to light a fire :)

    The air guitar is another classic scene. I love how he goes to take the guitar strap off his shoulder at the end

    I love how Alan's commentary syncs up exactly with the real intro to The Spy Who Loved Me. Lovely Stuff.

    My favourite moment is at the 'An Audience With.....' at the hotel at the when a cheap keyboard is playing Knowing Me, Knowing You and Alan tries to stop it but ends up playing a few different sound effects before he eventually stops it and when comes back "Sorry about that, a few gremlins in the system, ghosts in the machine, perhaps a metaphor for...............good evening"

    Also at the same event when two fella's interrupt him by opening the door, just take a quick look at him and leave without saying a word, Alan turns to the crowd and says "Why do people do that"

    "Very clever men, but I don't trust them, Gerry Adams looks like a Deputy Headmaster and Martin McGuinness looks like a clown without make up"

    It's great to see so many AP fans here.
    I thought of some more snippets that I loved:

    -When Michael has drawn a "baby H" on the ground incase a helicopter flies overheard.
    -When Alan tells Lynn she "couldn't present a cat."
    -When Alan calls to Michael who won't let him indoors but gives him a cup of beans and Alan says the sausage is like a spoon.

    Alan revisits his old school and meets his headmaster:

    Raphael: That was an appalling thing to say, you’ve placed me in a rather invidious position.
    Alan: Don’t know that word. Carry on.
    Raphael: You leave this school again and we’re left with the detritus.
    Alan: Knock it off with the fancy words mate. Say it like it is, it went tits up. Y’know, you speak like you’re from the 19th century. And you sweat.
    Raphael: I’d like to see you sweat over your work like I do over mine.
    Alan: I don’t, because I use Lynx Africa. Gonna cane me?
    Raphael: No, but I might throw a chair at you.
    Alan: It’s still corporal punishment. See you in Strasbourg.

    “That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they ‘Paved paradise to put up a parking lot’, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.”

    Watching I'm Alan Partridge now, delighted to discover it's on Netflix. "3 words. Wash. My. Car. Oh right, wash your car. Sorry Mr Partridge".

    I’m going nowhere, Lynn. Quite literally, I’m on the ring road. Third time round. I’ve just been into B&Q for a bag of tungsten-tipped screws. Never gonna use ‘em. Never gonna use ‘em.

    I only noticed, after my millionth rewatch, that this is the set up of a joke that we get the pay off for later in the episode.

    At the end when he dresses up as a zombie (shower curtain cape etc) he has the screws taped to his fingers.

    Alan: It's nearly 7 o'clock, this is Dave Clifton.

    Dave: Yes, indeed! Good morning, it's Dave Clifton! And there goes Alan Partridge..."Cone" but not forgotten!

    Alan: *a bit annoyed but laughing*

    Dave: You must've seen a film like, "Cone"an The Barbarian.

    Alan: Yeah, good one.

    Dave: Then watch a bit of TV like, "Cone" dancing.

    Alan: Yeah, not so good but... fine.

    Dave: Come on Alan, whats the matter with you? "Cone" you take a joke?

    Alan: Oh, F**K OFF!

    Dave: I am speechless! Dave Clifton is actually speechless! I don't believe you just said...

    Alan: You don't sound it! I wish you were!

    Dave: I mean, I really don't know what to say! I find it really difficult to find the words...

    Alan: Try saying nothing!

    Dave: You and I both know that dead air is a crime, and I think it's terrible that you have to fill it with swearing on your show!

    Alan: Fortunately Dave, you are bang wrong! It's 1 minute past 7, it's your show, you're responsible for the output. I am technically a guest and you failed to control me...READ THE SMALL PRINT ON YOUR CONETRACT.
