This following clips are from a bootleg recording of the studio session for Show 2 of the second series of I'm Alan Partridge. The full bootleg covers the first 75 minutes of the session. This yielded the first eight minutes of the edited show! This page features streamable Flash audios of the various set-ups and takes in real time so you can hear how it's done. We've not bothered including most of Gordon Southern's between-takes warm-up stuff because, well, that would just be ridiculous.
audioclip 1 - 6'50"
Gordon Southern's initial warm-up. "You've got to laugh your heads off", he says. So blame him... Line Producer Adam Tandy can be heard towards the end.
