A lot of Partridge stuff is very similar to Tommy Boyd's radio show on Talk Radio in the 90s. This is very similar to "The Wonderful Hour." Another Partridge topic that I'm sure was covered by Tommy Boyd: "What happens if you just eat crisps?" The arguing very aggressively with guests is also reminiscent of James Whale, who claimed to have given Coogan his "big break." I wonder how the dynamic between Alan and Simon relates to that.

"Can I have a t-shirt?" is an underrated line.

Alan should have made the point that the phrase “the best thing since sliced bread” is only used in the context of a thing which is thought to be tip-top and bloody marvellous to boot. So if you say something is the “best thing since sliced bread” there will be a thing that is the best thing. For example, tea bags or penicillin.
