170 • How Are You? Wrap Up + Your Feedback

·1 hr 4 min·5 clips

A rapid-fire montage of classic Alan Partridge quotes kicks off the podcast's wrap-up of his mental health series 'How Are You?'

This episode of Monkey Tennis serves as a wrap-up and feedback session for Alan Partridge's series 'How Are You?'. Hosts Adam Brooks, Tom Dark, and Nick Alder begin by summarizing their thoughts on the series, with Nick highlighting its disjointed narrative and Tom comparing it to 'This Time'. Adam speculates that the series was constrained by TV formatting. The discussion covers the series' title evolution from 'And Did Those Feet' to 'How Are You?', with insights into potential production pivots. Listener feedback includes an anonymous email revealing insider details, such as a BBC staff video message from Alan and last-minute title changes. Other feedback touches on continuity errors, like a character name discrepancy involving Josh Pugh, and dark interpretations of Alan's relationship with Katrina. The hosts also share poll results on dressing habits and preferred cameos, and read emails correcting past podcast errors and sharing fan theories. The episode concludes with announcements about upcoming coverage of 'From the Oast House' series 4 and the podcast's 10th anniversary.
