Trivia / This Time With Alan Partridge

• Acting for Two: Steve Coogan also played the Irish Alan lookalike Martin Brennan, who was a guest in the fourth episode of the first series.
• Word of God: According to an interview Steve Coogan did with The Guardian, Alan's tooth badge (as seen on his lapel in most episodes but only talked about once, when he's surprised to see Ted wearing an identical badge) represents "a shadowy showbiz organisation not unlike the Freemasons that "looks after" its members while doing philanthropic works".
