S1.E1 ∙ Focus on Cycling
Alan talks condiments with his listeners and welcomes Jim Jones to the studio to talk about his health campaign "On your bike".
S1.E2 ∙ Who Does Alan Think Alan Is?
Alan welcomes Henry Spring to the studio - one of the genealogists from the BBC's 'Who Do You Think You Are' TV series - in an attempt to chart his Partridge family tree.
S1.E3 ∙ Simply the Best of Norfolk
Alan invites listeners to call in to nominate who they think is the greatest person Norfolk has ever produced and, later in the show, to play a game of 'Surname Mastermind'.
S1.E4 ∙ Wine
Alan invites listeners to call in to nominate which animal species they would make extinct, and how would they do it. He also has Rosie Whitter as a studio guest from the British Wine Marketing Board for a spot of wine-tasting.
S1.E5 ∙ Alan's Sad Story
Alan pledges to eat a different type of ethnic cuisine each day for a week - his way of celebrating the cultural diversity of Norwich. He also attempts to read out listeners' sad love stories, in an unwise nod perhaps to Simon Bates' 'Our Tune'.
S1.E6 ∙ King and Car
Alan (and sidekick-Simon) preside over phone-ins for the Piper-Poll, and King and Car - the latter asking listeners what car they think their favourite monarch might drive. Finally, in desperation, they ask 'What is the Best Thing of All'.

Alan ends up talking to himself, as his 'Tuesday Chat' guest celebrity is none other than himself - Alan Partridge.

Alan substitutes on North Norfolk Today on the back of a poor night's sleep where he interrogates a local Conservative Councillor.

S1.E10 ∙ Alan Partridge: Out of the Box Thinker
Alan welcomes 'Internet Millionaire' Daniel Langford to the studio, in the hope of finding out the secrets of his success. Meanwhile, Sidesick Simon is the bearer of bad news.
S1.E11 ∙ Agony Alan
Alan is joined in the studio by co-presenter Zoë Scott, and they invite calls about 'forced-celebrity breeding'. Later, they're joined by Agony Aunt Polly Maplin, who lends a sympathetic ear to listeners' personal problems.
S1.E12 ∙ The Man with the Child in His Eyes
Once again Alan is joined in the studio by new co-presenter Zoë - and enjoys educating her about the music of Kate Bush.
