"Willie suggests that they go to San Diego on vacation. Kate is all for it, but the family is unsure what to do with ALF."

ALF and the Tanners on holiday in a tiny camper? Why the stink must be unbearable! Also: holiday adventures apparently just next to Christmas, a guest turn for some meat-enthusiast woodsman and a running ALF that has to be seen to be believed. Or heard.

Your hosts as ever are premier ALFsmen Ben Baker and John Matthews and you can ogle their new Patreon via this link: https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra

"ALF buys a car for Lynn after the family car continues to be unreliable."

Was it your dream to imagine our favourite Melmacian crusing down the freeway in a very expensive sports car bought for a teenager? Of course it was, you're just regular people like John Matthews and Ben Baker who navigate through the bees to bring you their reaction to this very strange episode. And if you like them, maybe chuck a few bees at our new Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra

"Brian's 7th birthday is approaching and it gets ALF depressed because he realizes he is never going to see his friends on Melmac again — he was finally going to get together with his true love Rhonda and then the planet exploded."

Innit typical? You finally get to snog on a lass and your whole civilization crashes into oblivion! Still, Ben Baker and John Matthews are here with a comforting word, a Top Willie and a look at DEM GAMS.

In 1989, the German voice of Tommi Piper released an album that was to change the face of the world forever. "ALF - Alles Paradiso" took the world of our hairy pal one stage further with his musings on relaxing, doing very little, hanging about and, of course, becoming leader of the country.

The tracks we look and listen at are from Side A of the original record and are:

ALF Wird Unser Bundeskanzler (ALF Becomes Our Chancellor)

Tujujahe (Es Tut So Wohl, Schön Faul Zu Sein) (Tujujahe (It's so good to be lazy))

ALF-Superstar (erm...ALF Superstar)

Leben Ist Gold (Life Is Gold)

ALF's Geburtstags-Boogie-Woogie (ALF's Birthday Boogie-Woogie)

Plus a look at the phenomena of ALF in Germany, who this Piper chap is and what these songs dont sound like despite the insistance of users on GermanCharts.de...

Thrilled? Filled with the spirit of boogie woogie? Want the second half? Well, its a great time to join our brand spanking new Patreon then! Support the podcast and get bonus stuff too here: https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra

"ALF meets a blind woman named Jody"

Nudge nudge, wink wink...its Willie and Kate's anniversary and apparently ALF isnt part of it. Ben Baker and John Matthews arent either but that gives them extra time to discuss spoiling Nicholas Nickleby, censored Chipmunks and whether the old ALFer watches the Tanners at it from the cupboard. Spoilers: he definitely does.
