Alan Partridge........

[ska invita]

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

I think hes starting to age a little - definitley feels a bit older and wiser D) in this latest series...I reckon Alan and Steves ages are syncing up

This telly chef whatever his name is. More Partridge than Partridge himself.

It's the fundamental issue of character comedy. I saw Graham fellows live the other month and he talked about being older than John shuttleworth.

Partridge was just on Comic Relief and was hilarious

Well Alan was at the Linton Travel Tavern in 1997 when his son Fernando was 20 years old but this week we found out he was at school in the 70s so I'm not sure the dates really add up any more

Oh! the Alan lookalike taking over the closing credits Superb.

 

[elbows]

This is your life.

Come on Eileen.

Oh my god that was like an advert for the IRA.

 

[steveo87]

Fucking loved that episode. The Irish lookalike breaking to Republican songs is vintage Partridge.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

The delayed reaction interview was brilliantly done.

 

[D'wards]

Unlike my ex-wife who has no heart at all

Really horrible woman

 

[Calamity1971]

Sorry for the wind and the racism .
Its getting better every week.

I didn't realise Coogan was in Moone Boy.

Well, he got married in 1976 or 77 - hence being an extra on Jesus of Nazareth, which was released in 77. This would absolutely make Fernando 20 in 97. And we can assume he’s in his early-mid sixties now, having been in his early forties when “knowing me...” was broadcast.

It all tallies.

Date of Birth
April 2, 1955 (age 63)

I think I, .Partridge covers the chronology

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I like to think of Alan as beyond age. Like Richard Madeley.

 

[tommers]

He's eternally in his forties.

Sonia is 30 in the second series. "10 years younger, back of the net!"

Actually "I'm 47, shes 33, 14 years younger, back of the net!"

Edit: and that was in 2002 so yeah, all matches up.

I missed the start last night, so I’m rewatching it now.

That bit with the dog petition and someone shouting aha in the background

 

[marty21]

Binge watched 3 a few days ago , he still has it

 

[UrbaneFox]

007 fecking bollocks, this is more AP brilliance. He has a shiny new chestnut hairpiece, and pitched brilliantly to Monty Don.
The IRA singalong was perfect.
I just watched last nights, so am in near heaven.

 

[Saffy]

I watched it tonight as it's one of those programmes we have to watch all together.

My son was in stitches over the CPR being done to 'Another one bites the day'.

It had very big lips for a St John Ambulance prop
And nipples

 

[spanglechick]

I didn’t like the Monty Don bit. It’s too far from plausible.

 

[D'wards]

Did you notice how now Alan has settled into the job he has got a lot more cocky.
"WHERE'S MY FUCKING WATER"

 

[rekil]

'Power Plant' is all too plausible.

 

[spanglechick]

'Power Plant' is all too plausible.

But that VT making it to air wasn’t.

 

[steveo87]

Watched the last episode again last night with Mrs o87, she didn't like it as much as me...

... sometimes I wonder why we're getting married....
