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.

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. A literary tour de force I Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan charts the incredible journey of one of our greatest broadcasters. ...
