@@MrKit19832009 I love This Time but for me the greatest Partridge was at the beginning - Knowing Me, Knowing You, Knowing Me, Knowing Yule and then the first series of I'm Alan Partridge
This is one of the best things when rewatching any of the Gibbons era Partridge; the face acting. Tim Key is especially great at it on Mid Morning Matters. Watching it back I spend more time looking at him than Alan cos his reactions are hilariously awkward.
I love the bit when he reads the text from Lynn: "comfortable, modest and good for Sunday best" And then his utter disdain: "useless" .😂 Such Brilliantly realised characters.
Alan Partridge is the best. I can watch him (and Simon) do anything. Nothing I enjoy more than when Alan gets into a flow state and does something really well like Tesco in Scissored Isle
1991 was when I first creased up listening to Partridge; he was talking about Linford Christie's groin strain. I had almost exactly the same reaction on hearing about the *ladypaste* 30 years later! Comedy genius!
"I heard it's a bit like a guitar string snapping" - On The Hour was just genius. To this day I often thing of the over-abbreviating and then explaining the abbreviation report of the train crash. "IAV - inappropriate approach velocity" Was OtH home to the 2Unlimited interview, or was that Chris Morris doing random radio stuff?
What I love about this is how - especially compared to a lot of other Alan Partridge stuff - it's a very sweet moment in Alan's broadcasting career. In his usual ham-fisted, awkward, naïve way, Alan just gets genuinely excited about nice, affordable fashion for middle aged women, and the idea that it could make them feel good about themselves.
Definitely getting better. The old Partridge stuff "back of the net" etc just doesn't do it for me anymore, he's evolved along with his audience. It's great.
@@CompleteCommando My lunch, my self control, my ability to breathe properly... in other words, I was in a rictus of laughter! Typical reaction to one of Partridge's bizarrely tangential quips.
Alan has his old style sexism in there , added to that his need to become camp to join in just shows his inner struggle to fit in with 2021 TV. With that said , I'm sure I've seen Richard Madeley do exactly the same thing 🤣🤣
I was thinking the same actually myself. I was on the M62 ..just past the services at Kendal I remember it was snowing, just like it always does there of course and i rang Judy and she said Im in bed with a cosey warm chocolate...Not that she often indulges but then so do I ..no sugar for me though. But I prefer wine myself, as I said to Bill Clinton when he was on my show..he agreed though we both had had some bad press back then...Not that Ive got anything against the checkout lady.No. she couldnt have been nicer.
Honestly one of my favourite segments of the show! The details are brilliant, my favourite was when he was talking to the last model saying "perhaps a shocking pink clutch bag" which every woman knows that red and pink is the worst clothing combo - the two should never be seen together! 😂😂
I always think it must be so painful for Steve and the brothers to write the show, as they have to get everything right or ‘wrong’ in Alan’s case, pretty much through the entirety of his dialogue. I’m sure they may have had to search up fashion faux pas, just for that one line.
@@arnyagal 100%. Something that’s made it easier for the writers & made it even more enjoyable for the listener, is: (and Alan would be delighted I’m comparing him to this,) is that Alan has become almost like a James Bond character/series, in so much as the fact that Alan’s character & plot lines develop simultaneously with current affairs; whether it’s news stories/fashion/cars/politics/social media, we get to hear Alan’s view on these topics. A lot of the time, we already know what his opinion will be before the words have left his mouth,(a good example, would be that we all know Alan would be Pro-Brexit.) Somehow, despite the fact we know this ahead of time, it makes us laugh even more when we he does eventually say it, perhaps because it complies with our confirmation bias on Alan & it just gives us that satisfaction we’ve all been waiting for. 😂
So true, I love it when Alan tries to be hip and trendy but can't quite let go of his conservative views! Also when Alan can't help but put in the occasional 'digs' about certain topics, people or politics - classic example, the Irish TV producers, or even with Ruth in this show. We we're really hoping he was going to get her back, and then it was a sigh of relief when it finally happened 😂
Being from the city of Philadelphia it's nice to hear Alan mention the name.Even though he's talking about the cream cheese that was actually invented in New York and not the city of Philadelphia.It figures.
I believe he’s referencing TV ads from the 90s…I vaguely remember women sitting on park benches eating the eponymous cream cheese and the bodyform song is another ad for pads, right?

2021 and we are still getting prime partridge. It’s incredible. It really is.
He is brilliant thats why..
What do you think is funny then?
He's actually getting better. Mid Morning matters, Scissored isle and now this. Genius.
Yes mate, totally agree! Coogan is a genius

Oh well thanks for bringing it in 🤣
“Tommy, join me at the lady”
2:47 Tim Key is just fantastic at the subtle visual stuff. His clocking of the red shoes is perfect! 🤣
Haha he is! Perfect side man to Alan.

He's so underrated.
@@Macho_Fantastico No he isn't..., he is very much rated, but only by people who appreciate good subtle comedy. Not for the masses. I hear you though.
@@rvic11 side kick?
Alan's slow descent into a gayish personality is magnificent!
Alan's Slow Descent into a Gayish Personality sounds like one episode of Alan's Deep Bath not fit for all viewers.
Yes I loved this!!
now this i loooooooooove
It's more of a graceful ascent.
The more confident he gets, the gayer he gets 😂
My favourite segment from the two series - camp partridge right up there with the stint at tesco - Julia!
You-go-careful-there-now-my-love. You alright packing.🤣
@@tetsuoshima7385 I wish I could like this comment twice.
3:07 “It never bloody shuts up, this skirt!”
“Juuuuullllliaa!!!!!”
1:43
Brilliant. And then he ends up calling the third model Julia as well
Is that a reference to something?
@@xxczerxx I don’t think so. Just very partridge. Or Richard Mageley
@@adam_p99Indeed, hilarious either way. Every little touch of weirdness is so well-considered!
“65 pounds”
“She can’t be?”
I can’t stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Simon's panicked look down when Alan put his hand on his knee lmao
One of the best scenes of the series, well written and the facial expressions are gold
The best fashion collection of all time was A Partridge in Paris, which introduced the "sport casual" look
And who could forget 'Cruiser Arriviste'?
Ice white shorts ice white trainers.
apres sport
I feel lost in these times without my horizon blue stay-crease action slacks.

😂Agreed . The text was so ‘Lynn ‘ as well 😂
“MOLTO BENE!”
“Yeah, not that loud”
Lol.
The fashion guy really nailed that role
He certainly “Accessorised”
The very subtle joke of Alan forgetting the last woman's name and calling her Julia is fantastic
I must've watched this episode five times over and I just clocked that joke now. That's the beauty of This Time, it's so dense with jokes!
hes obsessed with julia bradbury,mentions her so often in mid morning matters,i was thinking,could be
Alan Partridge is the best. I can watch him (and Simon) do anything. Nothing I enjoy more than when Alan gets into a flow state and does something really well like Tesco in Scissored Isle
Seb Cardinal is absolutely perfect in this, he needs to be in so much more !
Sidekick Simon's face throughout this is brilliant
“Decent bit of skirt” 😂😂😂

Was OtH home to the 2Unlimited interview, or was that Chris Morris doing random radio stuff?
@@al201103 I dont know of the 2Unlimited thing so guess it must be Morris' solo work.
never liked early partridge but he has been great since mid morning matters

except there's some frustration too... 'Lets look at another woman in a skirt.' gets me every time!
1:42 “Julia!” 😂
I actually unironically like Alan's outfit in this, nice colour coordination!
I think if he actually dressed like Micheal portillo it would be considered over the top
Feel the fabric Simon, then talk about it... yeah, yeah 😂😂😂 decent bit of a skirt
Patridge hasn't reached his zenith. He keeps getting better with age.
Definitely getting better. The old Partridge stuff "back of the net" etc just doesn't do it for me anymore, he's evolved along with his audience. It's great.
"...a giant tube of Colgate lady paste" no less
That's when I lost it!

That "65Ibs" line is brilliant.
“Head shoulders knees and toes..”
“No..”
Hahahahaha
"Thanks sweetheart, that was sensational."
1:47 I love Alan channeling his inner Gok Wan.
I like to leap in the air and sing woah body form!
Now this I loveeee
the best line here from Alan is: 'let's look at another woman in a skirt' at 2:29 followed by an exasperated face.
Hahahahahaha
Alan getting right into it at the end is hilarious
I like to think that is an extension of Alan's character Camp David.
ooo mince!
I love how Alan seems so much more comfortable with this compared with when he was on KMKY.
Yeah but those clothes looked rubbish.
KMKYWAP shits all over this
@@stanmonzon5788 But what if your arm bursts?
'Let's look at another woman in a skirt'. 😆
Beautifully played.
LOL Alan becoming camp is hilarious 🤣🤣

It's because it's so real it's so funny, perfect parody.

Simon's phone going off was a lovely touch.
Coogan was definitely channelling some Larry Grayson, love it.
God, this made me spit coffee over the table! This is such a clever concept - so many people missed the subtle touches in this show. Genius.
who missed them? Or are you just trying to make yourself feel superior?
Was it Kenco?
@@FoodforThought12345678dsds i think he means that he missed them on first viewing
God i love this partridge so much. 'kirtsy owns it' 'well thank you for bringing it in Kirsty'
I was hoping one would model his Castrol jacket.
I just noticed Alan refers to Louisa as Julia (the name of the previous model) when joining Tommy at the lady.
This is more magnificent every time I watch it.
Nearly every line in this segment is quotable
"Like a marquee that's not been moored, properly" is going into my active daily use vocab.
@@euremita I’m waiting to use the “giant tube of Colgate lady-paste” next time I see a tight stripy skirt.
Decent bit of skirt , sorry I take that back
Fashion host plays it to perfection.
Never seen Alan this camp.
th-cam.com/video/880KbkT_ihM/w-d-xo.html
my god his faces at 3:07 😂😂
Absolute fu*king genius 😂😂😂😂
"..stripey chatterbox.." Killed me 😂😂😂
Partridge is a genius character
02:01 is extra Richard Madeley-esque
There's actually nothing wrong with that! If a real presenter put that much effort in, I'd say good on them!
...Alan's so versatile! This i love 💋
That was sensaaational!
This was the funniest scene in all of This Time.
"Now this I loove".
It sounds like the fashion designer is on the verge of cracking up after that.
“Oooooooooo mince!”
Join me at the lady. Absolutely incredible. Classic Partridge😂
Decent bit of skirt. 😂😂
That cracked me up
Genius, no other word for it.
How people think This Time is sub par partridge is just so ruddy wrong. This is as good as it’s ever been! “Join me at the lady” bahaha!
Now this I LAAAAAAAAVE
Colgate Lady paste. What a line!!

Turned the campness up to 11.
Would love to see another series of Saxondale

Being from the city of Philadelphia it's nice to hear Alan mention the name.Even though he's talking about the cream cheese that was actually invented in New York and not the city of Philadelphia.It figures.
Sounds like the kind of useless information Alan would come out with in one of his radio Norwich segments.
Or maybe that Elton John song from the seventies
I believe he’s referencing TV ads from the 90s…I vaguely remember women sitting on park benches eating the eponymous cream cheese and the bodyform song is another ad for pads, right?
What a funny story
Alan discovering his feminine side and channeling his inner Gok. Bangers not included….
Lovely stuff.
This is just splendid.
"A shocking pink clutch bag." I can hardly breathe.
These models have their dignity.
Lovely stuff
Now this I loooove!!!!
Which episode was this from.? Thought I had seen all of season 2
It’s from season 1
Its chuffed to bits
just 65 pounds...she cant be....oh u mean the price LMAO
