Alan Partridge 2.4 Monkey Tennis.mp4

In a desperate attempt to save his career Alan suggest Monkey Tennis. Finally with the chance of a second series gone Alan loses it. "Smell My Cheese"

[@tobyjackman3212]

I love the way that Alan foretold a typical Saturday night's channel 5 TV listing from 2020

[@pov_music]

If they didn't do it Sky would.

[@anubusx]

I would love to see Inner City Sumo.

[@anubusx]

Alan Attack sounds brilliant.

[@jamesportoraro8248]

"No one had heard of Oxford before Inspector Morse" Unreal writing

[@anubusx]

Oxford is a complete dump.

[@njbright8626]

The irony is that Alans ideas would be snapped up by the trash TV networks today

Gordon Ramsay HAS made a program about cooking in prison!! 😂

[@PeaceDweller]

"Like the Cook Report, but with a more slapstick approach" Wow, I think Alan actually predicted "Rogue Traders".

[@andrew6382]

Alan is the Vince Russo of TV. Throws all ideas at people until one sticks.

[@boscovilante4068]

I remember the Cook report. Often some arch-criminal would disappear into his house/office and return to answer Cook with a baseball bat. Dunno how that'd work with AP leading the charge. 😂😂

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

Alan; Gogglebox Hayers: What's that? Alan: Watching other people watching TV Hayers: No 2019: Gogglebox is on for another series.

[@SpyWhoLovedHimself]

It's actually a good idea. It was very successful ages ago as Mystery Science Theater 3000 (same format).

'Monkey Tennis' is probably the only sport left available to the BBC.

Eventually the BBC realised that Alan was media content genius and made him their commissioning editor.

[@DAISY-1977]

David Schneider is brill in all parts he played opposite Steve C.

[@MountainReiver]

Idea for a programme called "Piranharama". Put the girls from Bananarama on plinths above a pool of piranhas and they have to fight till one falls in.

[@anderschristopherson8885]

YES!!!! Now you're talkin!!!

Inner City Sumo is a genuinely good idea

[@MoskHotel]

SepticSceptic Very cheap to make too. Just get some random fat people, get them in giant nappies and get them to wrestle in a chalk circle.

I would love to watch Inner City Sumo.

[@johnrider5701]

The sad and tragic thing is that most if not all of those shows would get made these days by ITV or channel five . Monkey tennis presented By Ant and Dec coming soon to ITV on Saturday night s .

[@stevedimmock930]

Inner City Sumo would become Celebrity Inner City Sumo with Jermaine Jenas hosting it

[@trainwreck3697]

“ooh, smelly” “it’s got walnuts in it” “mmm” “let’s go!” “right!”

[@grai]

we now have a show called "Common Denominator" and "Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners" in which people suffering from clinical depression and hoarding compulsions have they houses blitzed by people who cannot stop themselves cleaning obsessively these would have got a laugh if they had been on this list in this AP episode - now they are on TV

[@michaelpalmer4387]

Netflix managed two seasons of American Vandal, a remarkably similar idea to Swallow. It was a comedy though

Great shout. If anything illustrates the dumbing down of society and laziness of programme makers it's that drivel.

[@arserobinson7118]

Cooking in prison & Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank were later made into TV shows.

Actually it has. Gordon Ramsey teaching convicts how to cook. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Behind_Bars

[@comanchio1976]

That's why I watched this again, I saw Ramsay's show listed and thought he'd nicked a Partridge idea...mind you, I think all of Alan's ideas will be realised at this rate.

[@D82234]

‘Whooo… whooo… who do you think you are?’

3:04 - Alan fumbles but finally comes up with a great idea for a show. Shame on Tony Hayers for not hearing him out

[@ThatCoalSoul]

He predicts that Gordon Ramsey show and spot-on predicts Who Do You Think You Are! Not quite a British Simpsons for predictions but hay ho.

Arm wrestling with Dave

[@RosalindBurridge-dg6cy]

The 1997 series was by far the best. Monkey tennis is now an Industry term ingrained in to TV executives minds for short hand shxt TV.

[@PaulMJohnson]

In light of David Miliband pitching ideas to the BBC, I can't help but feel it would have been a lot like this!

[@thefrecklepuny]

"A detective series in Norwich called Swallow" - errr..Stephen Fry came close with Kingdom didn't he? Shows how close Coogan and the other script writers came close to reality with some of these titles!

[@hotelmario510]

"Cooking in Prison" ended up being a real show featuring Gordon Ramsay.

[@iouakick]

erm...cooking in prison.....Gordon Ramsay did that!!!

[@fezmancomments]

All his suggestions sound feasible when you scan the bands. Especially BBC3. Did Alan get the commissioning job?

[@MrPicklerwoof]

"Cooking in prison" could actually be quite interesting. In fact, I think some food shows have since had episodes that centred on cuisine behind bars. "Back of the net" from Alan there.

[@goatlps]

2.4? Actual programme is: #ImAlanPartridge S1E1 '#ARoomWithAnAlan'.

[@notaYEC1955]

Or a daytime TV reality show on people applying to councils for planning permission.

If he had added after each title the words "- the Musical", then they would have been lapped up. People will pay to see any old shite as long as there is a song in it. Even I would give " Monkey Tennis - the Musical" a go.
