This was… interesting. Spoilers in case anyone is going. I’d imagine there could be a recording of the show released sometime

The show is essentially Alan hawking / explaining his self-help life management system. There are backing dancers at times - with one excellent, probably accidental, run in with a young girl in a park. There were a few musical numbers including a medley of 80s power ballads to close the show. Martin Brennan from This Time ‘zoomed’ which was probably the highlight. Lynn appeared via phone and on Alan’s home security footage. There’s also some time travel to speak with past and future Alan, which was quite amusing. He also came down into the crowd at one point, with a few people having facial judgments made (Alan is diagnosed medically gormless).
Overall it was funny, but probably not the best format for the character. It’s in a similar vein to some of his stuff in This Time I would say.
