The prehistory of Royston Vasey
Before there was Royston Vasey, there was Spent. There was no local shop for local people there, and Papa Lazarou didn't find a new wife there, but Benjamin came to visit his Auntie Val(I wonder which side of his family she's from), Pauline was training job-seekers, and the new vet was doing his best, especially with the Giant Panda in the Spent Zoo. If you are a League fan, this is enjoyable stuff. If you think this is a lame flick that not even Sean Connery could save, you might want to check the title. ... Read more

Product Description
Alan Partridge is Britain's most remarkable broadcaster. He's scaled the giddy heights of a short-lived TV chat show, and the crashing lows of twenty-six weeks in a motel equidistant between Norwich and London. He's survived the death of a guest on air, his wife leaving him for a fitness instructor, an encounter with a mentalist fan, being crushed beneath a dead cow and incomplete sex with a woman he was supposed to be sacking. He's suffered a breakdown, Toblerone addiction, weight gain and his autobiography Bouncing Back being withdrawn and pulped. But Alan continues to bounce back - resilience and Gordon are his middle names. He's still playing his eclectic mix of music and hosting phone-ins on subjects as controversial as 'Should the police learn Kung-Fu?' and 'How long could you survive on just crisps?' Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word charts Alan's incredible journey - from his first, unforgettable radio chat show, to the recent construction of a house to his own specifications. Why don't you join him? Join him... ... Read more
