Journalist presenter broadcaster husband father vigorous all-rounder -- Alan Partridge -- a man with a fascinating past & an amazing future. Gregarious & popular yet Alans never happier than when relaxing in his own five-bedroom south-built house with three acres of land & access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma?

Born into a changing world of rationing Teddy Boys apes in space & the launch of ITV Alans broadcasting career began as chief DJ of Radio Smile at St. Lukes Hospital in Norwich.

Now single Alan is an intensely private man but he opens up for the second time in this candid entertaining often deeply emotional -- & of course compelling -- memoir written entirely in his own words. (Alan quickly dispelled the idea of using a ghost writer. With a grade B English Language O-Level he knew he was up to the task.)

He reveals all about his relationship with his ex-Ukrainian girlfriend Sonja with whom he had sex at least twice a day & the truth about the thick people who make key decisions at the BBC.
