This Time With Alan Partridge

[covetingthepreciousthings]

Sorry couldn't see a thread for this..

Did anyone watch it last night?

Just catching up with it now on iPlayer. I'm pleased to see Lynn is in it.

I love Partridge but I thought this was disappointing.

I loved it. He's such a fantastic character- hilarious and horrifying at the same time. I especially loved the 'having a wee on a train without using your hands' bit

Really loved it here.

I watched most of it from behind a cushion .

I almost found him too tragic and as Lotta says I think it's the whole point but it was almost too excruciating!

Loved it

I liked it!

Didn't do it for me.

I sniggered a LOT! It's going to grow into itself. Like Car Share!

I was a bit disappointed. The wee on the train bit went on too long IMO.

Clunt/Fluck made me laugh a lot

I think maybe I need to see this one more than once. His other stuff still makes me laugh when I rewatch it.

I thought it was great, there were bits that didn't seem to work but on the whole it was just hilarious. He has made such a brilliant character even if it is painful to watch sometimes!

I am a HUGE obsessed Partridgian but I struggled with it I didn't get the silly voices he was doing - terrorist etc and like others I found it almost too painful in places.
Obviously hoping as others say it's a grower not a shower

I loved it but TBH I have never had a very sophisticated sense of humour. Clunt/Fluck is still making me snigger like a fool now.

I really enjoyed it. Loved his face when the co-presenter stole his jokes, Lynne comparing her to 'the slag from the Bible', Clunt/Fluck and the corrections about BP/Shell

God yes, Evil Lynne! I love how she's still earring her mac and has the same style handbag.

I was in Asda yesterday and in the same aisle as a mum and her two kids, I reckon 3 and 6. 3 year old was in the trolley seat and brother playing in the aisle and whenever he wanted his brothers attention little one would yell "Dan. Dan. Dan.Dan" it was like Mini Partridge.

My favourite bit was the story about his grandad. Oh, the pathos! I think it will get better every week, and bad Partridge is better than most other comedy at the moment, to be honest...

Wearing even. Poor woman has earned her coat and more

Did anyone else think some of the bits with Lynn were a bit odd? Almost like they had filmed her voice over the top of someone standing in for her just showing the back of her?
Just watching it seemed a bit disjointed.

I enjoyed it overall, but agree, it isn't the same as the old Partridge. I think it'll be a grower though.

DH and I are still singing the well known nursery rhyme "After the pee or poo has landed..."

It gave me the cringe like never before.

I loved it!

I was torn between cringing and laughing, but that's how he always makes me feel. I loved "So it's from hygiene to bye Jean" and the whole leopard seals segment.

'Hhhwarter' 😂

Ha! Hy-Jean was hilarious! And when he was being all creepy over her hands!

Glad he's back, especially on a Monday as I'm not feeling The Walking Dead love any more!

I keep watching it. He's a bloody genius. Not seen the co-presenter before. She's definitely one to watch, I reckon she'll be in lots more stuff.

I swear I met someone several years ago who told me an anecdote of doing the exact same Clunt/Fluck mix up in RL. He was an old school journalist, must be retired a long time by now. Wonder if Coogan met him some time.
