Alan Partridge........

[Elpenor]

I am not a fan of the movie. Think I’ve posted that here before and it’s been a dissenting view.

The radio show is pretty good particularly the one with the kid who is a spoof of Lauren Harries (I think) there’s also the documentary episode Knowing Knowing Me, Knowing You

The atmosphere has turned rather sour.

The atmosphere has turned rather sour.

Hollis doesn't like it; Elpenor doesn't like it.

Why?
I think full explanations are required.

Synposis for the latest offering:


I don't really care if it turns out to be shite... the synopsis is good enough..

 

[Elpenor]

He’s been clinically fed up before, good to see him exploring this side again

Male comedians in late 50s... staple topics.. viagra, millenials, gen z.. ( I went to see Ben Elton this week... very good too..)

I saw Steve Coogan in Dr Strangelove at the Noel Coward theatre this week (he was really excellent, albeit that it’s impossible to see him in anything without in some way experiencing it as Alan Partridge playing the part). I don’t understand how he can be filming a TV series at the same time as appearing nightly on the stage. It must be physically exhausting.

I don’t understand

depends when that was posted...according to this it was recording earlier in the year

And Did Those Feet... with Alan Partridge comes to the BBC

What begins as a documentary about homecoming soon morphs into something more personal as Alan realises that the happiness he thought he’d feel at being back in Norwich just hasn’t materialised

Was it good overall? How did it compare with the film?

I think Alpha Papa was better

Yeah, really really good. It’s an excellent translation of the same themes, characters, plot and story beats as the original but taking advantage of the physical presence of a stage show and without attempting to recreate what works only as film.

Regardless of how you rate things as “good” or not in some abstract sense, I’d go so far as to say it might be the stage show I’ve enjoyed the most, ever. Really good fun — funny, thoughtful, intense and with a tonne of charisma.

I think you’ll love it. Everybody in the theatre was clearly having a really good time.
