*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

My favourite episode of the 10th best sitcom of all time, The New Statesman, it all starts when Alan goes to a boarding house and gets whipped by a young mistress {a stripogram} so when he goes to sleep he cannot lie on his back, he has to lie on his front and much to his horror he finds out that he was supposed to be at the TV-AM studios to talk about the by-election results, there is only one snag, when he makes it to the studios he has'nt got the faintest idea what the results where so he ends up storming out of the studios in a huff and kills the taxi driver, or does he?.

Funniest Moment: Alan crashing the taxi.
