If it was an intentional piss-take, it's almost impressive...

So Danny Wallace and Dave Gorman live together, then?

That's a fairly obvious cut n paste job made up of an old article Wallace had written for newspapers.

You can tell, because the apostrophes have come out as 1s, a fairly common problem when you convert from a Word Processor to HTML without checking for special characters. Most WPs use a curly apostrophe, dependent on the grammar, which doesn't exist in HTML....

So he's not even bothered writing an original piece to hype the show...

Well, you know, you can't expect someone to keep their head up their own arse, whilst simultaneously licking someone else's, AND write a popular BBC page as well? That's impossible

Does anyone know who to contact to complain? It's not just that column, the Radio 4 Edinburgh / Perrier show last night also promoted Gorman to high heaven (Producer: Danny Wallace)...

Would the BBC Duty Log cover online stuff? Anyone got their number?

I'd thought they'd stopped living together a while ago anyway....
Also, I know it's a bit obvious, but has anyone proclaimed 'Knowing Me Alan Partridge, Knowing You Alan Partridge' during Gorman's show? It seems necessary somehow.
