Alan Parker was a short radio series broadcast in February–March 1995. There were six hour-long episodes that were broadcast on BBC Radio 1. It starred Simon Munnery as Alan Parker, an enthusiastic but comically naive left-wing character (not to be confused with the director of the same name).[1]
It was followed the next year by a sequel, Alan Parker, Road Warrior, also of 6 one-hour episodes, aired in April–May 1996 on Radio 1. Munnery again starred in the title role.[2]
The shows allowed Munnery to reprise his character "Alan Parker, Urban Warrior" who had previously included music clips in half-hour shows entitled 29 Minutes of Truth. The one-hour shows featured music tracks played in full. Critics found them weaker than the original shorter shows.[3]
