    Seems to have gone over pretty well over there too.
    Too many people here use self loathing as a means of looking modern and progressive.

    That said, it seems to be upsetting northies which is a bonus.

    Anyone getting upset by it is completely missing the joke, which is Alan's inability to deal with an awkward situation that reflects poorly on him, and his further inability to deal with anyone that he doesn't deem to be his equal. Any Norn Irons getting upset because they think it's a) In support of the IRA or b) anti Republican are just a bit sa(aaaaa)d.

    I reckon that's the best Partridge episode ever. I'm going back in for an immediate second watch.

    Just me that didn’t think it was anything special?

    Episode 2 was funny, and 4 was okay but 1 was absolute shite and 3 was mostly boring.
    I'm a twit

    Episode 1 was shit, the rest have steadily grown on me. Last weeks was brilliant, probably the best, right up until the end of this weeks which was just top tier TV. The MELTDOWN on Twitter just adds further drool to the wet wank I'm smashing out right now.

    I'd have 3 as the best so far, closely followed by this weeks. Just watched it for the second time - I think it has the great quality that a lot of Partridge has in that it stands up to repeat viewings.

    My enjoyment was only slightly ruined by knowing from irl itk that Monty Don is a fucking weirdo.

    Yep, that was one of the best. Hilarious throughout.

    I'm in a weird place with this show in that I think it's an excellent magazine programme, but it's not making me laugh out loud that much.

    Going to see Strategem tomorrow night in Belfast. Really intrigued to see what Partridge will be like live.

    This was… interesting. Spoilers in case anyone is going. I’d imagine there could be a recording of the show released sometime

    Big Beacon is very excellent. Although I think he's having trouble with his timeline with the plot of this book, the Oasthouse podcast, Covid, and This Time. The writing is as good as ever. There are some excellent passages, especially one re: a sexual liaison with some sort of dominatrix. Will probably buy the audiobook later this year to get the authentic experience.

    I went with the audiobook for it and as part of the Audible deal that came with I've got through all the Oasthouse stuff now too, lovely stuff. Not my words, the words of Shakin' Stevens
