The best Partridge for sure in my opinion. I’m a huge fan of the Office but Mid-Morning Matters is the best comedy series ever for me, every scene is perfection.
I love these little moments, where you see the damaged child behind Alan's narcissism. The subtle shift in pitch and expression, Coogan always plays it wonderfully.
Ohhh THAT makes sense! When he had an argument with Simon and was like "You are THAT to me!!!" He was clearly projecting onto Simon how his dad had made him feel.
Love Alan when he is trying hard and not thinking any one knows ,Steve coogan is a bloody legand and does not get enough recognition for Alan .p easily the best comic character that all of the UK can relate to . genius
Whoever is in charge of this channel is doing a wonderful job, putting up things that Shakin' Stevens would call 'Lovely stuff'... Seriously thanks for curating a brilliant channel 👍
He’s here again! The man with the child in his eyes! He’s here *again*. The man with the…….child in his eyes…… Ooooh he’s here again! The man with the child in his eyes?!
That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they paved paradise to put up a parking lot, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.
Now listeners, I have someone on the line who fears he may be a gay. He’s married, so he wishes to remain anonymous. I shall only be using his Christian name. I’m talking to Domingo in Little Oakley. No? He’s gone. That’s a pity. Marvellous little tapas bar there….
It doesn't get better than that. Some of us live here in the UK because of wit like that. It is way over 25 years since I heard that line, and I thank God I'm in England.
Dressing up for work, bright colours, attention to detail.....The warning signs of someone wishing they were younger!! Too bad your like her dad lol. Brilliant sketch.
Was just about to comment this, I know it's an unpopular opinion but I think MMM is peak writing for the character, and the best acting Coogan has done in the role
Actually I beg to differ, not that I have anything against you Mini...if I can call you Mini. As I said to Judy as I took her cup of tea upstairs... and two rich tea biscuits today, in her bedroom of course !.. Do you think I'm like that Alan Patridge chap? ...Not that I 've had him on my shows, certainly not since Bill Clinton. No! When Bill and me talked about both of us being wrongfully accused...No. Far from it. A real gentleman there. Though the supermarket staff were perfectly polite and nice about it all.
@@fredfat3128 Were you not alive in the eighties? Anneka is somewhat attractive you know. In another thirty years what will a small minded youth think of Zoe? But you're a fifty year old crazy Gen X aren't you.
The comedic timing in this show is put together meticulously. And thats not an exaggeration. The effort they put into getting every line in the right place is astonishing.
I recall asking my elder brother once, what ridicule meant (Adam ant record) and he replied to me, when I was a mere tender 12, "that is what you do to people". Never forgot it.
Shame she wasn’t in it for long. Seeing Alan try to be charming is terrible! The part when she announced her leaving to travel the world made me feel for the ol’ Partridge.
That's probably the best vocal impression of someone drinking a milkshake that I've ever heard in the (North) Norfolk area.
...at that time of day.
Seriously though, it really is very commendable
@@goodlife6145 in that digital region.
Seriously though, it was text book
😅😅😅😅
I just love that he thinks he's in with a sniff. Absolutely brilliant comedy.
‘… but mainly Alan’
😂 He is such a child.
This was perhaps the best ever format for Partridge.....please more!
The best Partridge for sure in my opinion.
I’m a huge fan of the Office but Mid-Morning Matters is the best comedy series ever for me, every scene is perfection.
Completely agree. I would pay anything for new MMM.
I agree. Mid-Morning Matters is textbook Partridge.
Undoubtedly peak Partridge .
Where is sidekick Simon?
A disturbed individual, played to absolute perfection by an off-the-scale talent!
Bloody spot on. 👌
Abso-bloody-lutely
She's not that bad..
@@thewilk8556 Abso bloody exactly.
@@thewomble1509 i need to stop getting partridge wrong!
The sheer panic radiating off of his face and body after being rumbled by the sunbed question always makes me laugh lol
Such an incredible line, "And I was glad."...
I love these little moments, where you see the damaged child behind Alan's narcissism. The subtle shift in pitch and expression, Coogan always plays it wonderfully.
The most underrated format of Partridge. It’s gold.
@Croccy C I would suggest that being the most unknown and least exposed on tv version, makes it a little underrated. But hey, who cares, it’s great:)
yep and it's the best one!
The most under rated of Coogan's work is Saxondale.
Only tossers use thé Word underrated
@@irishking1414 thanks for your valuable input mr oxymoron of king and Irish 🤣👯♂️
Ohhh THAT makes sense! When he had an argument with Simon and was like "You are THAT to me!!!" He was clearly projecting onto Simon how his dad had made him feel.
I thought I was the only one that spotted that. Genius writing.
God it’s genius yeah
which episode?
This series brought us 'compleme cunm' and I shall be grateful until my very last breath for that.
Brilliant from both of them.
The radio part was always the best in “I am Alan Partridge” so it’s great to see this in a full format
"f'in witch" 😂😂 This series is right up there with the best of Partridge, the jokes/minute ratio is off the chat.
Shat?
0:55 superb writing
Love Alan when he is trying hard and not thinking any one knows ,Steve coogan is a bloody legand and does not get enough recognition for Alan .p easily the best comic character that all of the UK can relate to . genius
I love Alan and his inappropriate stories 😂😂😂
Its like he's taken a Richard Madeley segment word for word.
It's verbatim a story Madeley told on TM, except it wasn’t his dad; it was Judy.
'I don't think so' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 knowing fine well
Always a pleasure Alan.
Itty bitty of Scritty Pollity...genius.

And I was GLAD...
Partridge is great in all his shows
Love the episodes with Zoe. It's nice seeing Alan happy for a change.
This is great banter
YEP..its Banter-rights
@@freqeist from one Neil to another, that is superb.
I did a little involuntary wee watching this for the first time. Sublime

Not literally, that would be hideous
He fell for her big time. The ending when she goes was quite deep.

Probably the best choice to play Sir Jimmy.
My dad was a compete cvnt as well... Can relate.
I (nearly) feel sorry for him when she goes travelling and has to leave the radio station 😜😜😜😜
I love Dads too
the way these two carry on they should have called it mid morning mattress
Shout out to the sound department for the outro muzak. Its so very right.
needs more wakka-wakka
Frighteningly so Richard Madeley

@@andyharpist2938 only us British would get that.🤣🤣
Zoe doesn't half look like Anneka Rice.
Came to say exactly the same
emphasis on the half - zoe is attractive and anneka is blonde
I did it
once, I did it twice, but I never did it with Anneka Rice. (Graffiti on university toilet wall, c. 1982.)
@@fredfat3128 Were you not alive in the eighties? Anneka is somewhat attractive you know. In another thirty years what will a small minded youth think of Zoe? But you're a fifty year old crazy Gen X aren't you.
Alan trying to fire into zoe, does the nervous zany goosebumps phase.
Can I have another!!
Raaar.
When the next series!!!
“CAN I HAVE ANOTHER?!?”
“…and I was glad”… 🤔😂
That’s just word for word what it says on the back of the book
underrated part his alan calling hillary mantel henry
Reads the review as though they are his own words, then says he can't wait to read it.
"That's sad!" She's cute. Permanent sidekick would do them both good, and give them as many series as they obviously want.
I hate this because it's brilliant.
I’m sure the his female assistant in this video is the women who played the sexy police officer in “Crash, Bang, wallop! What a video”
Yeh. Thought I recognised her
Definitely not. That was 24 years ago.
@@PotatoPirate123 And she looked older then
Why has the 'play for today ' clip gone ?
What about a spray tan?
Ummm I don't think so 😂😂😂
I thought this was only broadcast on Sky, but there's a BBC logo on the screen. I'm confused.
It's Confucius.
Damnit now I have to go rewatch Pete vs. Life again.
Memories of Kia-Ora adverts in early 80s cinemas
"CAN I HAVE ANOTHER? I'M STILL THIRSTY!"
Been there, done that
'Crispin'.
Lolololololololol
What doea crispin mean
Fortunately they broadcast on Digital and VHF so when you get to The East Midlands you can't hear him anymore.
Lol 1:37 looks like Zoe nearly breaking character trying not to laugh 😂
I think she is in character tbh
Fankoo again. I really like her.
Have since realized that is a different character.
Wolf Hall Howooooeeeeee....!!!
His Blazer is prestige
CAN I HAVE ANOTHER!?
Bring back the farmers on the phone talking about feeding beef burgers to swans
Infected spinal column in a bap.
Need more of MMM! please
What’s the actresses name?
So his father did the cakewalk? 😄
'i DON'T THINK SO'
People see themselves in him.
I think Alan genuinely liked her.
LOVING THE awkwardness..
Taking the pee out of Simon mayo having Jo while foisted upon him
Alan your Dad was a bit of a knob but needless to say....you had the last laugh. Amount to nothing? Pah!
Brought to you by Morrisons Neapolitan Soft scoop, Allan's face is like chocolate. ;)
Aye missed a bit
Poor Alan
Think Alan's a bit confused about Zoe, slightly annoyed but slightly in love
Dore on tour
Waiting for Zoe to call him Bunny.
I bet celebs, especially radio and TV hosts, live in dread of ever being compared to Alan Partridge. Re that ... poor old Richard Madeley. Oh dear.
And poor old John Stapleton too.
Alan Titmarsh
More Coogan than Partridge in this one. Always a bonus
Ehhh... Rectangle
How did he make that so funny!

Hello Zoe 😉
I recall asking my elder brother once, what ridicule meant (Adam ant record) and he replied to me, when I was a mere tender 12, "that is what you do to people".
Never forgot it.
Zoe is gorgeous 😍
I thank that was his niece. Daughter of that mock turtles guy .
But yeah she is gorgeous
Judy’s lost weight. Madeley however, hasn’t changed a bit.
Steve does creepy leering middle aged lecherous so well.
A rectangle ....
Dad zoned. Ouch.
Shame she wasn’t in it for long. Seeing Alan try to be charming is terrible! The part when she announced her leaving to travel the world made me feel for the ol’ Partridge.
