Armed with program ideas and a clump of cheese, Alan meets a BBC commissioner to discuss a return to television.
The socially inept Alan Partridge has been staying at the Linton Travel Tavern for 10 weeks, has failed to get a second series and is days away from bankruptcy. However, he has fallen in love.
Alan pays the price when he insults Norfolk's farmers on his radio show, and gets into even more trouble when he accepts the job of fronting a boating holiday promotional video.
Alan is the only guest at the Linton Travel Tavern, so the manager decides to close it for refurbishment, leaving Alan at a loose end.
Alan puts on a Sunday afternoon version of his show at the hotel and invites some Irish TV executives over to watch it.
Dramatic developments at the BBC bring Alan hope, and so he prepares to do some intensive networking at a funeral.
