Alan Is Hypnotized | Knowing Me Knowing You | BBC Studios

Alan Is Hypnotized by expert Tony LeMesmer and reveals more about himself than he hoped.
Taken from the classic comedy Knowing Me Knowing You (1994) which saw Steve Coogan’s bumbling sports anchor character from The Day Today (1994) get a shot at his own “chat show.”

I love how even in his fantasy he won't break the high way code haha.

[@JJONNYREPP]

16.1.22 1613pm Alan Is Hypnotized | Knowing Me Knowing You | BBC Studios i was surprised that his hypnotizing procedure didn't include hitting someone over the head very vigorously or having the subject run over... that must be the Asiatic procedure. perhaps western methods have progressed since the heady days of freudian battering down the barriers of the psychotic and/or criminally insane.

[@PETAL19]

Yep its brilliant 😅😅

Tony is the only guest Alan didn't completely alienate or argue with

[@satireisnotdead5804]

Because Tony knew he was going to get his own back by hypnotizing him.

Alan is hypnotised by head of the BBC, Tony Hayers.

[@barriniho]

Give him a 2nd series, you shit!

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

The real backstory is that Tony LeMesmer hypnotized the head of BBC to give him the main job and then he changed his surname. No joke

Could have done more with this sketch. Had amazing potential. Steve Coogan is the best, before anyone attacks me...

[@carpetfluff35]

It went on for the rest of the show with him making little monster sounds etc.

[@robicenco1]

David Schneider isn't much of an actor. That's one of the problems with KMKY - it's the same roster of actors from On The Hour/Day Today playing nearly all the guest roles and it feels a bit arch.

[@WillowJordan1979]

They did more on the radio show, where Alan had to revisit childhood memories, and when they were bringing him out of hypnosis, he started resisting and saying "I don't want to go back, I want to be on the telly!" It was pretty epic. I liked this skit, but I think they used some of their best ideas on the radio show and the TV version just didn't work on the same level.
