Fans of I'm Alan Partridge will remember the scene well...

Alan has been told that his 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' chat show has been been cancelled by the Beeb. In a lunchtime meeting with the Director of Programming, Tony Hayers (David Schneider), Alan is allowed to pitch various ideas for TV shows. In a panicked ramble of suggestions, he lists amongst others: 'Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave', 'Inner-City Sumo', and of course 'Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUTFm55I_9g Well, brilliantly, the final suggestion has become a reality...well, sort of. Eubank has proved himself an excellent sport by featuring in a mock trailer for Hostelworld. It's clear that the former WBO Middleweight Champion of the World hasn't changed a bit, with his trademark monocle, tweed suit and walking stick, he's just as...well, Chris Eubank as ever. Now about Monkey Tennis... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGG5OhEcpOQ
