It reallyr eally does reward repeated viewing. I've watched episode 2 three times now, and it gets funnier every time. I laughed out loud watching it on the train yesterday. At the whole bit with the medieval reenactment. There are things you don't notice on the first or even second watch. It is subtle things like facial reactions, or little details like the guy who attacks Alan in the medieval re enactment is running towards Alan in the background the entire time he is walking through the camp. So many subtle small details that are so fucking funny.
I think my favourite bit was someone saying that "John will be turning in his grave", to which Alan responded, "He's still at the morgue".
I was thinking, to compare it to KMKY shows the evolution of British comedy since then. This Time and its differences to its predecessor very much shows that things like The Office, Curb, The Royale Family and even Peep Show have happened since.

I'm finding it too heavy on the realism and not silly enough....the overall feeling its gives me is nervousness and cringe.
By shooting it in that realistic, real-time live format fashion it feels too tense, and whereas if he was pissing about on Knowing Me you knew it was a spoof, here its played as if its really happening. Thats fine on Midmorning Matters as its only local radio, but this all feels too high stakes. I think rewatching an episode defuses some of the tension though.
I hope he doesn't get a second series and goes back to radio or at least a less prime time, high stakes slot (like Scissored Isle). History channel or challenge tv or what not. Ultimately he's a born DJ I think

Yes I know Alan Is All About Alan, but it's difficult sometimes. I had to watch this week's episode in three parts.

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.

Again I think it’ll need multiple viewings to appreciate everything.

I did, during his stint in the BP garage, I think. Could the great man make a come-back from the (presumed) dead?

Just catching up with E02, and it's a blinder:
"there's compelling evidence that low wages actually increases productivity. As Kirsty Allsop says, 'a well-fed dog is a slow dog'"

His look of transcendent pleasure as he plunged the sword into a peasant's guts needed to be seen to be believed

The older Steve gets the more convincing an Alan he does, as their ages match up...should be some great years ahead

So is Alan ageing at a slower rate than everyone else? Or will he forever be middle-aged sports casual?
