Wally Webb's BIG BLOG!: Partridge Extra's

So here's what I've been up to today. Sorry I couldn't reveal all sooner but the producers didn't want a massive crowd to control so if you happened to be near the Forum in Norwich today, this is what you'd have seen! Broadcast date for the Hairy Bikers 12 Days of Christmas is December 15th on BBC2. Click on image to see full size then use back arrow to return here.

Simon and David are really nice guys.It was great to work with them and producer Andy and the team. What a crew! First they force me to eat magnificent roast partridge stuffed with chestnuts together with pickled pears (recommended) Not as bad as it might sound. then yes - they did make me sing although I recruited the audience to back me up as we sang "a Partridge in a pear tree." (Yes - Partridge spelt with a capital P)

Welcome To Wally's World !

This is the personal BLOG of Wally Webb.

Some years ago there was much speculation that he'd been part of the inspiration behind Steve Coogans character of Alan Partridge. (see associated links below). That's why BBC 6-o-clock News interviewed Wally at the Premier of Papa Alpha when Wally filmed with "Alan" for the BBC website.

Unlike Partridge, Wally is still on air regularly for the BBC. Based at the BBC East studios at the Forum in Norwich he broadcasts Monday to Friday. From 4am to 6am. The Show is regional and includes the BBC Stations of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and 3CR for Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and then from 6am it's just Norfolk. To join in you can phone 0845 30 50 007, text 813-33 starting your message with the word - WALLY. or e-mail from the link top left.

Wally has worked for BBC Radio Norfolk since the Station first opened in September 1980. In that time he's hosted many different Shows but has always enjoyed getting up early.

After 0630 Wally then takes the Radio Car across Norfolk to report on anything of interest to the listeners of Breakfast With Nicky Price (6.30 -9am). Check out the Radio Car by going to the Video Library.
This site contains numerous video's of Wally's different activities and interests (see Video Library link below) as well as features from his Shows. If you would like to see something appear on this site, e-mail your request to Wally and it may well appear on this BLOG. Enjoy your visit and do come back regularly to keep up with Wally.
