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.

"Maybe it's time to take a fresh look at Shell" 😁😀🤣

I watched it with my 16 year old, so seeing it through fresh eyes with him.

We laughed on and off for about an hour at the Clunt/Fluck line and the long studio walk in complete silence.

I have heard from those who have seen next week's that it's very funny.

Clunt was about the only thing I laughed at, cringing most of the time

"Terrrrerrists" 🥴

i started off a bit ugh about it. thought it got funnier (can't remember when) and thought it ended up all a bit W1A. sigh. and i loved W1A but i thought coogan wouldn't have gone there, as they say.

i am knee deep in The Trip again though. which is the bestest thing ever (says me) so nothing compares to that (as sinead conner almost sung)

'I am knee deep in The Trip again though'

I just love Series 1 of The Trip. Everything about it is perfect - the food, the scenery, the impressions! And how very melancholy it is as well as being ridiculously funny

"Maybe it's time to take a fresh look at Shell". 😝

"If we could make this show 10% more Foxtons then we will have something really quite special" 😅

How did he pronounce antibiotics? I can't remember but it really made me laugh.

I really enjoyed it, I think it takes a while to adjust to a new format.

Loved the

The bit with Tim key was excruciating though.

"No, we mustn't" 🧼 🖐

That was it! Thanks

Only half watched 2nd episode last night as was falling asleep. Will watch again later. So much cringe again though 😂😂

I thought it was funny last night. I love him.

I thought it was awful and I'm disappointed. Won't be watching again and I had been looking forward to it so much.

I wasn't sure about this one I thought at times he was over egging the idiot factor a bit. Although I love the chap who does the twitter bits (can't remember his name).

I'm not sure if my "can't make my mind up" feeling is because I spend most of each episode in a permanent state of Cringe with my clenched bum cheeks virtually glued together. It's truly painful tv.

only watched half of episode two - it is funny how he changes the way people say things in order to look better than a presenter that died! sad really and he thinks that they dont realise his doing it.
Its not great, but i find my self smiling at how over the top he is.

I thought that particular episode was a bit insensitive, as our local news programme did recently suffer the loss of a presenter and they all seemed to be genuinely upset. I know this programme was filmed well in advance of her death but I- and I wasn't alone it my feeling locally-thought it was unfortunate.

Anyway, aside from that-it just wasn't funny apart from the bit where the posh chap came on.

I love his facial expressions though and how cringe he is. I can remember watching it when I was younger and thought he was a real person. Steve Coogan can do no wrong in my eyes though. I do get how some people don't get it but I could see the old Alan more in this episode which I liked.

"He has gone. At the weekend." 😆

I do get it and I still think it isn't very funny. He used to be but not in this. It has just veered on to the wrong side of bizarre when before, the character was completely believable-real life just geared up a few notches.

Anyway, its apparently losing viewers in droves so I guess I'm not alone.

Another marmite comedian has a new show tonight on Netflix. Looking forward to that. Ricky Gervais in Afterlife.

He has always been on the wrong side of bizarre.

PerfumeandOranges - I agree totally with regard to the death of a much-loved north west presenter. DH and I felt it was very uncomfortable viewing 🙁, even though we’re big AP fans 😪.
