7 Essential Ingredients For An Alan Partridge Themed Party

Now you have the food, drink, dress code and entertainment sorted you're almost there. Yet, there are a few subtle tweaks which could add a final element of authenticity to your night. In terms of subtle decoration the odd picture wouldn't go amiss, so let's see if we can steal some ideas directly from the master.

Alan likes to keep his heroes on display, so why not follow suit with a framed picture of his favourite Bond, Roger Moore? Another choice from Partridge's hall-of-fame could be star of 1990s Saturday night television, Diane Youdale, or, as she may be better known, 'Jet from Gladiators'.

Other subtle accessories to your evening might include a 'big plate', so that, like Alan, one of your guests can take a bigger share of the buffet. A real Partridge freak might even go so far as to install one of Alan's detested giant stuffed 'Beefeater' bears in the front room, although this isn't recommended.

Imagine explaining that every time you have a visitor to your house!
