That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains that they paved paradise to put up a parking lot. A measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise. Something, which Joanie singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song. It’s 4.25 AM, you’re listening to "Up With The Partridge".

Alan Partridge: Give him a second series quote
Alan is having lunch with Tony Hayers. He also needs Peter Linehan who is revamping news and current affairs output at the BBC.
Peter: Tony.
Tony: Peter, hello, how are you?
Peter: Fine, fine.
Tony: Erm, Alan, this is Peter Linehan he’s revamping our current affairs outputs. (Alan shrugs his shoulders)
Peter: We’ve haven’t met, but I liked your chat show.
Alan: Thank you very much.
Peter: Has he given you another series?
Alan: No, he won’t give me one!
Peter: Give him another series you swine!
Alan: Yeah, give me another series you shit!
Tony: Look, Alan I don’t want you to feel… I’ll see you later, Peter. I don’t want you to feel the doors have all closed here at the BBC. If you come up with anything else, then please I dont want you to hesitate…
Can I just shock you?
Can I just shock you? I like wine! Despite what I just said earlier. At any one time I have nine bottles of wine in my house.
Malcolm MacDowell is trapped in the future
Lynn, message from Alan. Something to pitch to Tony Hayers at BBC lunch, Friday. Idea for film extravaganza, plot thus: Malcolm MacDowell is trapped in the future. He’s being pursued by a cyber-punk from that past. Played by Rutger Hauer. Erm, terrible idea, no one will watch that. I’ve not thought it through Lynn; I’ll call you back.
All this wine nonsense!
All this wine nonsense! You get all these wine people, don’t you? Wine this, wine that. Let’s have a bit of red, let’s have a bit of white. Ooh, that’s a snazzy bouquet. Oh, this smells of, I don’t know, basil. Sometimes you just want to say, sod all this wine, just give me a pint of… mineral water.
Alan Partridge Crab Sticks Quote
And now it’s time for one of Alan’s ‘Fact of the day’: Crab sticks don’t actually contain any crab. And from 1993, manufactures have been legally obliged to label them ‘crab flavoured sticks’. Another one of those same time tomorrow.
You know what this room says to me? Aqua.
You know what this room says to me? Aqua. Which is French for water. It's like being inside an enormous Fox's Glacier Mint, which again, to me, is a bonus.
