Cardiff would be the closest venue for me. Will someone compensate me for the cost of crossing the Severn bridge though? I refuse to pay out of my own pocket to visit Wales.
As for the series, I think it has been great, with some of the best ever one liners.
However, I do think it lacks some of the pathos of some other series, perhaps because there is no interlude into his personal life. It's all based around the studio dynamics, which are by their nature quite false in the first place.
So, without that anchor, it all becomes a bit like Alan's greatest hits, or getting him to say the stupidest things you can think of. The Chemsex bit was brilliant, for instance, but might have benefited from some more straightforward bits around it, such as him fretting about to do a proper journalistic piece first.
That said, even if it feels a bit like a Partridge tribute act, it's still one of the best things on TV imo.
