This Time with Alan Partridge

[COB]

I thought we might have had a thread for this already, but apparently not Back for a second series starting TONIGHT:


The last series is well worth catching up on if you missed it, it's a wonderful parody of The One Show and similar magazine programmes. The episode where they pay tribute to the deceased former presenter of the show

who, in the space of one phone-in segment turns from a Wogan to a Savile

was a particular treat

 

[Kate]

Scream. Loved the first series. I'll be watching over the weekend when Mr Kate is here.

 

[dUbsday Blue]

The Irish Alan lookalike from the first series went down EXTREMELY WELL over here

 

[Kate]

I bet

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Very here for this.

 

[COB]

Just remembered the roving reporter woman from last series who kept disagreeing with Alan but agreeing with Jennie while they were both saying the same things, and Alan would eventually keep trying (and failing) to catch her out I hope she's back.

 

[Kate]

That was Lolly Adefope wasn't it!

 

[COB]

Yes she's back

 

[COB]

OMG at Lynn having ANOTHER hip replacement.

 

[COB]

Amazing ending

 

[big ron]

Terrible television

Definitely the highlight of the first season - glad they've brought her back. It's such a simple premise, but probably quite difficult to get as right as they managed to.

 

[Kate]

Loved it

"Henpecking works, that's why hens do it"

Alan explaining the ITV region system to young offenders in borstal

Alan tackles CHEMSEX

 

[COB]

OMG at the drama therapy session

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Omg the Jimmy Saville impression.

 

[COB]

Black Face Matters

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

I haven't watched last night yet, but this has been a brilliant series. Top notch parody. Agog he's been doing the same shit for 25 years and it still works.

 

[COB]

The Network parody was such a perfect way to end it

 

[dUbsday Blue]

I haven't seen ANYTHING about this on Twitter/anywhere apart from here

Good series though I take it?

 

[monsta]

I was CRYING with laughter at the chemsex episode

 

[GALA]

I'm in. Oh I'm in, this is just unrelenting cringe on a new level. Or perhaps it's just been so long since I watched him at it (I feel like I seen a smaller scale series a while back though). I've made it through only 2 episodes of series 1 and I've actually had to put it on pause as it's been that excruciating. This has the potential to be a legendary outing for sure.
