That was the part that ended me! It’s like the perfect punchline!Hilarious
I like the “beautiful lady’s” deadpan double take.

I’m Alan Partridge are two series of perfect comedy.

Am not a big fan of Steve Coogan, the person. But I think his Alan Partridge creation is a stroke of genius, especially the first series of "I AP"

God I miss comedy like this. I went away with work the other year and the hotel room had a Corby trouser press and I made an Alan Partridge reference- my young colleagues just looked at me weird

I’m Alan Partridge is peak Partridge for me.
Someone at work made a comment about cheese and I automatically said “smell my cheese you mother” before I’d thought about where I was/who I was talking to. I quickly explained it was from a TV show but I don’t think they were convinced!

Quotes like this just enter your vocabulary. I still shout ‘louder pig’ at the tv when I turn the volume up, from a mega 90s Eddie Izzard routine

Also, particularly with Mid Morning Matters, this merits a second watch. It is absolutely hilarious.
Sometimes me and my husband just talk to each other in Partridge quotes. You can also download an app called Partridge in My Pocket which has some of his best bits on there for when you are missing him (and you will, because he is addictive).

I love him sooo much. You really have to listen to Alan read his own autobiog. I think it's called I Partridge. It's sooooooo funny
This is my kind of thread!!! My absolute favourite show and favourite comedy character. If you want to really start with the origins then watch The Day Today. It’s a satirical news comedy created by Chris Morris and was the first time the character was introduced to a tv format. (Started on the radio)
Knowing Me Knowing You is Alan’s first solo show and gives you a lot of ground for the character when you then go onto watch I’m Alan Partridge. Knowing Me Knowing You also has some amazing supporting performances from Rebecca Front and Patrick Marber which is a bonus!
Im Alan Partridge is probably the most accessible and the most well known and quoted.
I would personally say that the Sky series Mid Morning Matters are one of my favourites. They are completely set within the radio studio but the writing is absolutely top notch!!
I loved the film Alpha Papa some people didn’t but I thought it was absolutely the perfect Alan film.
There’s so much to dig into, audiobooks, podcasts, sky specials.

On ‘the oasthouse’ it tickled me when he says ‘some people ask why I had different hair in 2013 they say that’s not your hair!’ Cos he did have such a cooler style in the film

Did anyone else love his other characters like Paul and Pauline Calf? Remember the wedding special, that was hysterical. Oh and Tony Ferrino and that single he had out, the cover of Help Yourself.
yeah I used to love Paul and Pauline calf haven’t watched that in a long time though! Did you ever see Saxondale? Super underrated character and a great show.
