We're rerunning the fun and turning the clock back 10 years this week, as we revisit the first ever episode of Monkey Tennis, in which we tackle I'm Alan Partridge Series 1, Episode 1... Worth the entry fee alone for a new intro from 2026's very own Tom Stabb. Come for the disappointing audio quality, stay for the lack of in-depth research. Needless to say things did get better.

LIVE SHOW: We return to the Prince Charles Cinema on Thursday 19 November.

Alan's up a hill and we're down a rabbit hole this week as we play Top Tor or No Score and Batman: Returns. Infidelity, germaphobes and Peartree Cartography also come under the spotlight, and we ask: Is Jamie Demetriou wasted? How easy is shepherding? And how often have you just happened upon a choir in a cave?
