Alan Partridge\u2019s pitch to BBC executives, ‘Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank’, has finally become a reality in an advert made by Hostelworld.<\/p>\n
In the 1997 episode of I\u2019m Alan Partridge<\/em> entitled ‘A Room with Alan’, Partridge pitches some television programme ideas to the BBC Chief Commissioning Editor. His ideas consist of a detective series based in Norwich, called ‘Swallow’, ‘Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave’, and of course, ‘Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank’.<\/p>\n The fictional Alan Partridge\u2019s dream has now become somewhat of a reality after hostel-booking website, Hostelworld<\/a>, created an advert featuring Chris Eubank himself. Eubank is, of course, the famous British boxer and WBO Middleweight World Champion.<\/p>\n In the advert, Eubank checks into a youth hostel, making use of its amenities and Wi-Fi. He ends the advert with some motivational words: \u201cThe key thing in life is to be humble. Just be little: that way you have nowhere to fall\u201d.<\/p>\n But, up until recently, Chris Eubank was completely confused as to why people had been mentioning hostels to him for the past 18 years, referring to it as an \u201cunsolved mystery\u201d up until recently.<\/p>\n It all kicked off\u00a0when Carl Packman, author and researcher, tweeted to Eubank asking him to finally make the youth hostelling documentary a reality. Eubank finally admitted he just didn\u2019t get it:<\/p>\n @CarlPackman<\/a> Can you please explain the link between me and youth hostels?<\/p>\n \u2014 Christopher Eubank (@ChrisEubank) August 9, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
