Alan Partridge........

[Infidel Castro]

I rewatched the ending three times. I was creased. And the lady boy moment.

 

[Indeliblelink]

I loved the slight edit they had made to the opening credits.

 

[kabbes]

I thought it was on Wednesdays. Did I miss one last night?

The kabbess was really disappointed by episode 1 but now can’t wair for the next one. She woke up in the middle of the night laughing the other day having apparently remembered Irish Alan in her dream.

 

[skyscraper101]

It has got better as the series has progressed. It still feels a bit try hard in places. The first episode was definitely the weakest so far.

My favourite bit is the pure hatred between Ruth the reporter and Alan, where she contradicts him at every turn and agrees with Jennie always. Last night was gold.

 

[Orang Utan]

The library segment where he gets off on being crushed - i was in hysterics

The one last week where she was in Hollywood, with the delay that only happened when Alan was talking was very very funny.

Absolutely brilliant

I was so so pleased with the metoo stuff - he played it excruciatingly bang on, couldn't have been done any better, for me.

"20 years ago arriving on set in a flash car with canitily scad beauties would have been a perfect way to spruce or spunk up an opening"

Surely that must be one of his best ever lines!

 

[Orang Utan]

So many good lines in the the last one:
"I don't even know if whales have necks:
"The Palace Of Westminster might be known as the Mother Of Parliaments but she's a mother who's seen better days, worn out by the six hundred members inside her"
"I had bubbles in my sick"
"Libraries are churches for the mind, or to put it another way, libraries are cathedrals for the mind

 

[Orang Utan]

Also love the little details of his amateurish live presentation skills, like how long it takes him to walk from one part of the set to the other

 

[Orang Utan]

And the little moment he has with Peter at the beginning - 'bye Alan'

This Time With Alan Partridge: All The In-Jokes You’ve Probably Missed

Lovely stuff

 

[scifisam]

Oh christ, the lips .
I don't want a haircut like a cross between Margaret thatcher and a brown cloud. Excellent.

That's the sort of thing he does that is really subtly funny in a unique way. I mean, why would it being a brown cloud be funny? Most comedy writers would go for something more obvious, probably poo-related. But it's that that makes it funny, not the more obvious Thatcher bit. It's really clever.

Like the bit in the Alan Partridge movie where he's in a toilet bowl. "You sound weird." "The conical shape of the toilet's turned it into a sort of compact amphitheatre." The whole scene is good but it's that little bit, that ridiculous over-preciseness, that makes it funny for me.

 

[danski]

that ridiculous over-preciseness

Yes. Exactly that

 

[DotCommunist]

Oh alan. Its all coming undone again

 

[kabbes]

Just wonderful

 

[neonwilderness]

It looks like he won’t be getting a second series

 

[steveo87]

Irl, Steve Coogan is apparently in talks with the BBC over more AP stuff.

 

[Maggot]

That was a brilliant episode!

 

[Throbbing Angel]

I haven't watched s6 yet, but

Can anyone explain the lapel badge of a tooth/molar he has on in every episode?

Piece from the guardian.....
I ask him what his lapel badge means. It’s a small, white tooth; a molar, with a cartoon face drawn on it. It represents a shadowy showbiz organisation not unlike the Freemasons that “looks after” its members while doing philanthropic works. It may never get a mention in the script, he says. But it’s all been worked out and is authentic to the character.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

cheers Calamity1971

 

[rekil]

Mid Morning Matters is brilliant.



it took me a while to work out what the music was. It's not late period Nik Kershaw as I originally suspected.

 

[joustmaster]

Was that the last episode?

 

[Orang Utan]

Was that the last episode?

Aye

 

[Argonia]

Is there going to be a second series?

 

[neonwilderness]

 

[Santino]

I read somewhere that they're working on something else for the BBC, but not necessarily another series This Time. I like those documentaries they did for Sky. It would be great to see Alan do a history programme or travelogue.

 

[joustmaster]

Was that the last episode?

Its no American style 22 episode series...

what is it?


really enjoyed the final episode, much sillier and less tense - alan getting to run free - prime time bbc is too restrictive for his talents
