After considering (and understandably rejecting) Arm Wrestling with Chas ‘n’ Dave, Inner City Sumo, Yachting Mishaps, Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank and Monkey Tennis, the BBC have commenced filming today of This Time With Alan Partridge, a heady mix of consumer advice, current affairs, viewer interaction, highbrow interview and lowbrow froth, which finds Alan sharing a sofa with co-presenters Jennie Gresham and Sidekick Simon.
