    The Alan Partridge Thread...A-ha!

    http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/news/a7...tters-in-2016/

    More Mid-Morning Matters on the way. Personally, I wish they'd return to the format of I'm Alan Partridge and give us another series of that, you shits.

    I liked the one he did around Norwich that came along when they launched Mid-Morning Matters, something like that would be good. The film was a bit shit.

    I didn't like the chat show format or mid-morning matters as much as the more traditional radio-sitcom effort. Series 2 and 3 were genius stuff. Coogan is a complete cock, himself, but credit where it's due.

    I think he means the ones where the character was on the radio in Norwich, living in the travel tavern etc.

    Yes, as in a more traditional situation comedy rather than him just doing the radio or a chat show.

    For some reason, the reoccurring theme appears to be superb first half, then it tales off second half. Thankfully, they are only 25 minutes long.

    Got it yesterday. Not just an audiobook btw, but obviously it's the best format for him.

    I think I'm on chapter 5 now. It's broadly similar to I, Partridge. The section about Dawn in the swimming pool had me lolling on the drive home yesterday. Top stuff.

    Just sign up for a months free trial with Audible, download it, then cancel your membership.

    Thanks, yeah I did see that. Will probably do once I've finished his previous book.

    New show out on BBC next month

    https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...looks-15641533

    I do hope it doesn't disappoint. Sounds like it's similar to KMKYWAP in format.

    Has he ever done anything shit with Partridge? Obviously you'll never hit the heights of I'm Alan Partridge series 1, but the genius of the character makes all of it at least decent.

    I don't think anything has ever been "bad". But as it's a proper TV series on a proper channel, I'd hope it comes close to the older stuff in quality. The one offs he's done over the past decade have all been pretty good, but nowhere close to KMKYWAP and I'm Alan Partridge.

    It's all the same writing team that's been involved in the Sky stuff and the books so it should be great.

    The comedian explained: “What we do is we have him trying to jump on the bandwagon and say, you know, he says ‘Hey! I’ve made mistakes, I’ve stood on the side of the sidewalk and slow hand-clapped while I watch a woman try to parallel park, you know, and I feel bad about that. And now if I saw a woman doing it now, I would shout instructions’.”
    I'm already well on board.

    Also I'd never heard of Scissored Isle. Is it worth a watch? Last thing I remember was him showing us around Norwich, with the standout bit being him in a swimming pool with someone while nearly drowning but edited so when the other person asked if he was alright, it cut to a shot of him stood calmly in a pool saying "yeah fine."

    Those were Ianucci at the peak of his powers, if anything matched them I would be impressed.

    Scissored Isle was good. I think I prefered "Welcome to the Places of My Life" which features the scene with the swimming pool, but they're both about the same, really.

    A reminder that his new show starts at 9:30pm tomorrow on BBC One.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0002v3b

    So far it's received rave reviews.

    Apparently my nan saw the trailer for this when my mum was visiting and angrily asked how "that weirdo" had gotten his own show, thinking it was a genuine chat show.

    Not quite my mad old Polish grandad (RIP) shouting "VERA, WHAT IS THIS...PRIEST DOCUMENTARY?", during an episode of father ted, but still.

    Alan Partridge meets the banal One Show should be brilliant.

    I still hope they do a movie where he gets a break (doing a similar thing) in the states.
