      @@adonisnetworks Coogan certainly has a big ego, but he still very self-aware for a celebrity (watch The Trip and the MANY jokes at his expense. Or read an interview from the last 10 years). The Daily Mail is a total farce, albeit a disingenuous, deceitful and often dangerous one. The Mail is just holding onto their vendetta because Coogan (among many others) has called them out.

    Coogan is an institution of British comedy. He created the funniest and most enduring comedy character of all time in Alan, and the way he's developed him particularly in the last 10 years with I, Partridge, Nomad and The Oasthouse has just added such depth to the character as well as making him more hilarious. What other comedy character is there that you know pretty much his entire life story chronicled through books , tv programs and podcasts?

    Getting rid of canned laughter was a godsend for Steve Coogan and Alan Partridge. It allowed the character to get a lot more subtle and quick, and it's telling that in this video the Mid Morning Matters clip is the most replayed. Imagine that clip with canned laughter, none of the jokes would work, they'd be cut out to make space for the cheesy laugh track. Like Coogan says, it's tight, rehearsed, very intricate.

      We all just wasn't expecting it to of been that funny right out of the bag and off the first page.
      Both his books are the funniest reads on the planet in my opinion.
      Honestly his face as he was reading it was so partridge I truly believed he was real for a second, he was so serious haha.
