Jed's Alan's Shower Adventure

In I Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan, Alan talks about the photos he saw of himself on the walls of Jed Maxwell's bedroom. Some of them were taken in public places like the travel tavern or radio station when Alan arrived/left for work. But others were more disturbing ie 'my bin shed or ye gods! my shower!' Credit were it's due though - Alan did acknowledge that the photo Jed took of his soapy/lathery bum cheeks was the moment that NO!, Alan could no longer put off the inevitable & so he sought help for his 'fat back' & haemorrhoids.

Do you think the shower photos were taken while Alan was still living at home with Carol or at the Linton Travel Tavern? Carol was doing her overnight gym workouts with her young fitness instructor friend so it would have been relatively easy for Jed to break into Alan's house (while he was away presenting Knowing Me Knowing You on live tv? It happened 4 times apparently) but I don't know about the Travel Tavern. Jed had obviously stalked Alan around the tavern unnoticed - or maybe he was noticed: I can see Michael being bribed by Maxwell to turn a blind eye while Susan, Sophie & Ben would probably have known what he was up to & just let him get on with it.

It was fans like Jed who put Alan where he was. Alan didn't agree with that notion.... but knew a lot of people who did....

I actually live in a well at the bottom of my garden. Well I say MY garden but it actually belongs to my wife & her new boyfriend. After she threw me out & moved him in he very generously offered to rent out the well to me.

Can't have been when he was at the travel tavern as don't think the shower had a window. Only 1 window in the room which looked out over the back of the hotels (alan sees the staff having their breaks there one episode)
