I'm Alan Partridge

Alan has a visit from the Inland Revenue and is worried about the submission of a receipt for a Christmas gift from Bill Oddie. Meanwhile, he tries to convince Sonja that he is indeed friends with Bono.

Alan plans a Bond-athon for the bank holiday weekend with Michael, but they are jeopardised when he discovers that Michael has befreinded a man called Tex, who likes American things. Meanwhile, Lynn makes a visit to her mother's grave on the first anniversary of her death.

Alan makes a new friend at the BP garage called Dan. They both drink Director's bitter, use Lynx deodorant and both drive Lexi (the plural of Lexus). Dan asks Alan to present a prize at the Norfolk Bravery Awards, where Sonja is hopeful of the opportunity to try out some of her practical jokes.

Alan is asked to present a sales conference for Dante's fireplaces of Reading, while Michael stays at the unfinished house after someone steals his front door.

Alan's back and life is on the up: he's got the third best slot on Radio Norwich, a girlfriend and a Lexus. While at the garage, Alan meets one of his old teachers, who is persuaded to let him give a talk at the school about how he has 'bounced back'.
