Knowing Me, Knowing YouKnowing Me, Knowing You is a popular song by the group Abba. The TV show is named after the song, which it uses as title music.
Knowing Me, Knowing You... with Alan Partridge (also known as Knowing Me, Knowing You or abbreviated to KMKYWAP) is a British comedy show first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 as a six-episode series, which subsequently transferred to BBC Television with a series of six episodes (beginning 16 September 1994), and a Christmas special (Knowing Me, Knowing Yule). The show was a parody of a chat show, and both the radio and television versions were so embarrassingly accurate that listeners and viewers often thought they were the real thing. Many wrote in to complain, for example, at Partridge slapping a child prodigy in an episode of the radio series. The series did air with a laugh track, but apparently this wasn't enough to persuade some listeners that it wasn't real. Steve Coogan played the incompetent, annoying and presumably deeply disturbed Norwich-based host, Alan Partridge. Alan was a spin-off character from the spoof radio show On The Hour (which later transferred to TV as The Day Today). Knowing Me, Knowing You was written by Coogan, Armando Iannucci (who produced the radio version) and Patrick Marber (who also starred), with contributions from the regular supporting cast of Doon MacKichan, Rebecca Front and David Schneider, who made up Alan's weekly onslaught of annoying and inane guests. Steve Brown also appeared as the man in charge of the house band, Glen Ponder. Alan went on to appear in two series of the sitcom I'm Alan Partridge, following Alan's life after his sacking from TV after he punched the commissioner of BBC TV (David Schneider) on his Christmas special, shortly after his wife leaving him.
