Corrected entry: At several points in this series, when there is a scene in the hotel lobby, keep an eye on the clock. Frequently, despite many minutes passing the clock doesn't move. This was probably done to avoid continuity errors arising from the time changing, but it actually creates one in itself.
I'm Alan Partridge (1997)
1 corrected entry in Season 1 generally
Starring: Steve Coogan, Felicity Montagu, Phil Cornwell, Simon Greenall
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: When Michael tries to take Alan's big plate, Jill holds the menu in both hands. In the next shot she is holding it in just one. (00:18:25)
Alan Partridge: You work in a petrol station Michael. It's not the Gulf War. Which ironically is like a large petrol station.
Trivia: It is a testament to the set designers (or whoever) at the BBC that the view of the car park from the lobby of the Travel Tavern looks so real when it is, in fact, a backdrop.
Question: Who played the man who drew the penis on Alan's back when he was younger?
Chosen answer: He was played by Ian Puleston-Davies. He is best known for his role as Owen Armstrong in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street.
