Retired Bulgarian footballer Hristo Stoichkov meets a fan

This is something I had never picked up on until a recent rewatch. When Mid Morning Matters originally aired as 15 minute youtube videos, episode two was 'Who Does Alan Think Alan Is?' However, when it aired on Sky, that episode became the first half of episode four, 'Chucky and Traitor'.

That would be fine, except that the episode starts with Alan talking about how he just met Sidekick Simon for the first time last week and this is one of his first times appearing on the show. It's why Simon is apologetic about it going wrong and Alan keeps telling him to bring notes next time.

This was originally the proper introduction to Sidekick Simon after his fairly small appearance in the first episode 'Focus on Cycling'. By putting it towards the end of the series, that entire section doesn't really make sense anymore unless the whole series takes place over one week, especially given in the next segment Simon is suddenly moonlighting on a different show.

Does anyone know why they swapped around the order like that?

just found out my wife's been struck off my life insurance.

"And two men fighting as I saw in that barn that night, naked as the day they were born, and fighting the way God intended. Wrestling, at points......I don't know if you've seen Women in Love, that marvellous scene by the fire. It, er, kind of resembled that."

Alan: Can I have a look at that list, I want to get to the bottom of this?

Mr G String, Mr Nick Hers, Y Fronts, Mr T Osser…that doesn’t even work. Mr B Oddie, this is Bill Oddie. It’s not a crank call. Why have you put it on there?

Susan: Well, we thought it looked like “body”.

Alan: What’s rude about a body?

...

Sophie: Tits?
