Fans of I’m Alan Partridge will remember the scene well…

Alan has been told that his ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’ chat show has been been cancelled by the Beeb.

In a lunchtime meeting with the Director of Programming, Tony Hayers (David Schneider), Alan is allowed to pitch various ideas for TV shows.

Well, brilliantly, the final suggestion has become a reality…well, sort of. Eubank has proved himself an excellent sport by featuring in a mock trailer for Hostelworld.
