* {{Flanderization}}: Happens to several characters. Dave Clifton goes from a fairly unremarkable provincial DJ who Alan made nasty jokes about his alleged alcoholism to, to gleefully and openly recounting his experiences with booze, cocaine, heroin and prostitutes. Curiously, Alan himself undergoes the opposite, becoming less distinct and more general a character in the movie. In Clifton's case there's an element of AllThereInTheManual, since in many of the other things featuring Alan Partridge a RunningGag has been that every time Alan's life improves slightly, Clifton's completely falls apart.
