Over on patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra there's some ambitious and fascinating content as we've synched up the pilot episode of ALF with the first episode as it was transmitted to see what the differences were. There's lots of unaired footage and different takes, a feast for ALF fans.

This week we're covering the episode where ALF meets "Elvis" - written by the great Al Jean & Mike Reiss, of The Simpsons fame.

Al told us some really interesting stuff about this episode when he *very* kindly gave us some of his time to talk all things ALF...

We get a lovely view of ALF's mighty hooves in this week's episode 'Suspicious Minds'.

Also (rather excitingly) Willie slips on a banana skin, we see the gold records for 'Rock n Roll' and 'Beach King' and ALF and Willie have a punch-up.

"Elvis"s first reaction upon meeting ALF is the reaction we'd all have - to ask if he can pet him. ALF allows this "but only from the waist up".

Pete Willcox is the Elvis impersonator here, whose promo shots were used in place of Elvis' copyrighted ones in the episode.

I thought our local Elvis wasn't quite right looks wise, but clearly he more than excels compared to this guy. Let me share North Yorkshire's finest for compare and contrast purposes: tonyskingleiselvis.me.uk
Tony Skingle Is Elvis
Tony Skingle is one of the best Elvis impersonators in the UK. He has performed all over the UK as well as abroad in Thailand, Spain, Tenerife, Singapore & New Zealand. Check out Tony's Shows page to ...

Elvis is alive?! Has ALF discovered that a treasure trove of memorabilia, and those sideburns, is indicative Presley himself is living next door to the Tanners?

We look a little closer than ALF to discover.... The Truth!

PantoSplaining is the latest brand from The House Of 'Splain, the Splaining Family Of Podcasts.

It will make no sense to any international listener as we look at the good old British Pantomime, or more specifically the posters that promoted them.
It's here! Episode 5 of PantoSplaining sees us only a few minutes down the road from Episode 4 but when we saw the stars and director in Halifax in 1995 we couldn't resist.

Watch us investigate James Whale, Donna Air and Sooty at

Has ALF found Elvis? From the looks of those framed photos... no.

Watch the episode Suspicious Minds at linktr.ee/ALFsplaining before the podcast drops on Monday and we will explain why it's such a mad episode!

ALF and Jake are secretly filming Lynn, but it's not like that! The gang go undercover with Trevor's car to unmask a dodgy mechanic.

It's not all work, ALF gets a chance to play darts and eat a waffle too.

Listen in at linktr.ee/ALFsplaining for all the deets (details).

ALF loves the camera and the camera loves ALF, but Willie appears on both a camcorder *and* the television this week.
