Talk:Glenn Ponder

Could be improved if anyone can go through the episodes and add all 6 (maybe 7 including Knowing Me Knowing Yule) band names, such as Lazarus, Debonair, Savois Faire etc.

Glen Ponder edit

This page needs to be moved. The correct spelling is clearly Glen Ponder (with one n in Glen), as in one episode Alan Partridge points out that it is an anagram of "Porn Legend". Pedantic, but true :) The BBC website is inconsistent - see [1] where it uses both spellings, but only the "Glen" spelling works with the anagram.

Glenn Ponder edit

The BBC website may be inconsistent, but the programme's credits are not. The screenshot below clearly shows "Glenn Ponder" with two Ns. I think "porn legend" is meant as a joke to show Partridge's lack of intelligence.

Apparently the anagram idea wasn't intended, and it was only in writing the final episode that they realised it was possible. However, I would say the credits are right, as it was a guest that contributed the anagram, who probably didn't know his name was spelled with two 'n's. 144.32.130.63 15:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


tinny synthesizer?!?!? - The Korg M1, hardly a 'tinny' synthesizer, especially in 1995.
