For God's sake, give him a break! He might be doing some films but it's only Around The World In 80 Days that was a misstep for him. He's back this year doing a TV series called 'Saxondale' which is a new character that he's created Partridge-style. It should be pretty funny, even if it isn't the great writing team of Coogan, Peter Baynham and Armando Iannucci.

Ooh, the monthly Alan Partridge thread.

Apparently there is a movie being written, but I'll believe it when I see it tbh.

Back of the net!

I think that I'm Alan Partridge was better than Knowing Me, Knowing You.

All I can say is that I am glad that I don't come from Norwich!

bramski · 29-05-2006, 15:28

One of the most hilarious characters ever. The geordie character is also quality, the story about the monkey eating his fags and him throwing it against a rock had me in stitches.

iut044 · 29-05-2006, 19:57

24 hour party people was brilliant.

1 of my favourite lines :
"Ooh, scary Irish men. Would you like to recruit me? I like your berets. They're worn by Saddam Hussain, Frank Spencer... and the French."

mattlewis86 · 29-05-2006, 22:22

lol, Alan Partridge quality! have all the series on DVD, my mrs is in bed watching one of them now. I hope they are making a movie it would be ace!

What were those fantasy dream sequences in the 1st series about? Never understood why they were there - they were just strange.

Just part of Alan's descent into a nervous breakdown. The fact that you think they are strange is why they are so brilliant.

Plus it's a good cheap laugh to see him in "vulcanised rubber... so it won't perish".

I take your point. They just seemed to interrupt the flow of the programme a bit.

I bet David Schneider thought they were a brilliant idea, though. He had to be paid a fee every time he appeared as Tony Hayers in the sequence. In some episodes it was the only time David appeared.

You cant beat a bit of partridge it must be one of the most quoteable Comedys ever made! All his catchphrases you hear all the time even though theres been no new series for 3 years!

Back of the Net
Butter my a**e
Jurassic Park
Spice World
etc etc etc

No matter how many times I watch that 1st episode of im Alan Partridge I always laugh at the show ideas (which are also wheeled out all the time on here!)

Monkey Tennis
Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank
Cooking in Prison
A Partridge amongst the Pigeons
Alan Attack (like the Cook Report but with a more slapstick approach

)
Swallow (detective series set in Norwich)

I watched the one on UK Gold last night where Alan is at a loose end and walks to the petrol station for 12 bottles of windscreen wiper fluid and a bag of tungsten tipped screws (never gonna use em

)!!

I really hope this Partridge movie gets off the ground as it would be brilliant!

performingmonk · 30-05-2006, 19:42

Apparently they had a story for a Partridge film where Alan ends up in a terrorist seige or something, probably on a train, but they stopped working on it due to the London bombs. I'm sure a film will emerge at some point though. Personally I would prefer another series of I'm Alan Partridge written by Coogan, Baynham and Iannucci, but that's doubtful as doing the second series did their heads in.

That's such an absurdly funny sequence, and probably one of my favorite Partridge moments. The little added touch of him singing "Goldfinger" as he walks along the road side is just pure class.

paul_hadley · 30-05-2006, 21:58

"Kiss my face... that was classic intercourse"

mrsmetropolis · 30-05-2006, 22:22

Alan Partridge was surely one of the best comedy creations ever. Even now, years later, those ridiculous catchphrases & bizarre situations still have me in stitches although I've seen those old episodes numerous times.

IslandNiles · 30-05-2006, 23:29

"You ought to have a basic grasp of Latin if you're working in...Currys."

"I think I'd have to say...the best of The Beatles."

"And there'll be no telephone Cluedo today, because of the threat of an injunction from the makers of Cluedo."

"Inner City Sumo - very cheap to make, you could do it in a pub car park. If you don't make it, Sky will."

princesskate · 30-05-2006, 23:57

Stop. getting. BOND WRONG!

MIB1973 · 31-05-2006, 00:13

if they ever did make 'Arm wrestling with Chas and Dave', or 'Inner City Sumo' id watch it.

Pretty Polly · 31-05-2006, 00:17

2 words -

Monkey Tennis

performingmonk · 31-05-2006, 02:34

For some reason one of my favourite parts ever is in a deleted scene from series 2 when Dan (Dan! Dan! DAN!) says 'you do the math' and Alan can't help but add 'ths'. It's so funny because it's completely in his character to feel so outraged that someone would use the word 'math' in an American style!

Ella Nut · 01-06-2006, 12:17

one that I use to my husband all the time.. "I love you, in a way."

RossJ · 01-06-2006, 13:49

"Hit me! Hit me! Hit me with your rhythm stick! It's nice to be a lunatic, hit me, hit me."

"Don't shine that torch in my face, mate. I've just lost a pint of blood!"

"Technically Lyn, your life is not worth insuring."

"Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps?"

"You work in a petrol station, Michael. It's not the Gulf War, which ironically IS like a large petrol station."
