This is the same man who pitched Monkey Tennis.
Also the same man who had a guest die live on air.
It's not as plausible as some of the other pieces, but I think the joke is that Alan is gaining more confidence and influence within the show, and in that reality his ideas, once ridiculous, are now taken seriously because he is the star.

His co-host totally changed (on screen at least) once he was made permanent host too.
There is loads of stuff that would have been cut away from much sooner in a real live tv production, but that would spoil the fun. Made it funnier that the racist woman on the phone was actually cut.

Ok I'm going to out myself here...I don't think it's very good. I've been a huge fan for years. I've laughed and laughed at Partridge in the past. I've been almost incapacitated on a plane watching the Radio Norwich stuff. But this series. Nah. It feels like something I *should* watch. It's not entertaining me.

There is a subtle logic to the Monty Don bit in this episode.
In the previous episode in the bit about vegetarianism Alan had a meeting with two businessmen (that wasn't shown) and he mentioned very briefly about him trying to pitch his Alan Partridge branded garden wear, you see a quick flash of him in some dungagrees.
I think he chose Monty Don specifically for this 'sting' because he wants to tap him up to see if Monty Don can be corrupted to promote Alan's garden wear on Gardeners World. He is trying to see if he is corruptible. For Alan it's win win, if he is then Alan wins as his gardening wear is promoted on the BBC, if not then Alan wins because he has Monty Don on camera saying he can be bought albeit for a billion pounds.
Maybe I'm thinking into it too much but if that was true it makes that whole bit a hundred times more funny than it already is.
I'm expecting more along these lines as Alan's sense of self importance grows out of all proportion and he destroys everything through his own hubris.

There was a great line in there where he was talking about doing regular first aid practice, along the lines of “make it a monthly thing, like asking your cleaner about her chemo” [emoji23]

Years ago I had drink with a cousin of mine , who's from Mayo , in a pub in Wood Green , there was a bloke he knew (also from Mayo) who worked in London , I didnt understand him at all (and I'm used to the Mayo accent ) the only phrase I understood was 'Romanian cunts 'We thought that marty21 ! He has to have family there or spent a lot of time there cos the accent was bang on!

There was a couple behind Monty Don in the hotel who could turn out to be significant unless it was just a throwaway sight gag.
