• Alan Partridge : What do you think was actually wrong with my book? Don't pull any punches.

  Baptist Fan : To be honest, I don't think anecdotes are your forte.

  Alan Partridge : That's fair enough. So you don't think I can tell anecdotes. Can you just pop that down for a second?

  [the fan puts his plate down] 

  Alan Partridge : [aggressively grabs him by the lapels and growls at him through clenched teeth]  Right, I'll tell you an anecdote! In 1975 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded, I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat with a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies - buckaroo! When I sat down on the chair, I looked up and realised it was none other than Peter Purves! It was at the height of his Blue Peter fame! He said "You jammy bastard!" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue, Peter!" Needless to say, I had the last laugh, now fuck off!
