In fairness in a later episode when he rejects a Renault as a car choice for Henry V his reasoning is sound: There really is no way Henry V would be driving French after Agincourt ha ha!
The best bit is a few seconds later when he gives the prize to the woman he berated because he is humiliated by the Cromwell gaff, absolutely brilliant writing and acting
I like how John says "Oh yeah" when Alan mentions the name of the folk group, like he really isn't keen on them! It's subtle things like thar which makes Partridge so funny.
Pedantic fact of the day: ‘VW’ is actually an initialism not an acronym; As Alan, himself, explains in the excellent ‘From the Oasthouse’ podcasts, available from audible.
I think Ludwig III of Bavaria would drive a 1977 Datsun Cherry. He'd absolutely love the all-independent suspension, and the front wheel drive would appeal to him as a de facto ruler.
While the 1977 Datsun Cherry would no doubt qualify as a 'modern' car by Ludvig's standards, it's clearly no match for the modern-day Nissan equivalent.
Susan Cresswell would drive a 1994 Vauxhall Corsa 1.5D Auto, being single handed Sue would appreciate the automatic transmission, she would also appreciate the fuel economy and reduced number of single handed refuelling stops, she’d also have the garage fit one of those nobbly things they have on bus steering wheels to make single handed three point turns much easier.
Just outside Surlingham, no less! Looks like a bloody nice pub actually. watersedgewoodsend.co.uk/ Not only that, I’m even wondering if this is where they shot the beer garden scene in “Watership Alan” ... images.app.goo.gl/VKc7ru8xxRruE1oG7
I'm not sure you've got the hang of this Simon. :-) Given her parentage Queen Vic would definitely drive something German. I'm liking the dog guard though.
I think Thomas Cromwell would also really appreciate the overall fuel economy and range of the turbodiesel golf. You don't want to be planning for fuel stops when you have two monasteries to dissolve on the same day...
When he says "I'm liking this John, I'm liking this a lot." he sounds just like Jeremy Vine
And immediately cut him off as he was just about to "say hello to somebody"😂😂
Alan's not having someone else's banter on HIS show👊👊😂😂
Oliver Cromwell???
He sounds EXACTLY like Jeremy Vine
as about as credible as Jeremy Vine....
Close your eyes and listen to Richard madely. Its exactly spot on 🤣🤣
I'm liking this clip....I'm liking it a lot.
Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes!
That’s why I’m here
you should comment more often
Well, thanks 'Hu Mann' *fade out whilst you ask to say hello to somebody*
Possibly my favourite Partridge scene ever. The premise is utterly ludicrous but Alan takes it all so seriously. MMM was quite simply textbook.
I honestly believe MMM is prime partridge
I love how he accepts and rejects the reasoning for the choices of car, as if it’s a matter of fact 😂
In fairness in a later episode when he rejects a Renault as a car choice for Henry V his reasoning is sound: There really is no way Henry V would be driving French after Agincourt ha ha!
I'm not sure you've got the hang of this Mary!
@@iorekby Henry V was pursuing his ancestral claim to the french throne, he wasn’t a little Englander like Alan.
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 You should call more often.
@@BenMoranFilms i think he was a bit harsh on Mary, a VW Phaeton wasn't a bad shout for Cromwell
This disdain on Alan's face when yer man laughs at Simon's mead joke is priceless.
Simon had definitely mead an enemy for life after that.
@@iorekby oh dear
@@iorekby Leave. Im-mead-iately.
His acting nuances are perfect.

This is liquid radio. Alan thought he found his new Dan!

Home.
This is one of the best pieces of AP ever!!

It’s great banter, it really is!

Its derivative of its own tropes a little tho.

That exhale after “yes yes yes”, Coogan is an acting god
*yes yes yes yes and yes

"Weshould go for a drink sometime"----*Silence* Hahaa! Cracking stuff! 😂😂😂
Not my words, MorrisseysMonkey; the words of Shakin' Stevens.
I like how he just says "that's fine" and cuts that woman off. 😂
I like how John says "Oh yeah" when Alan mentions the name of the folk group, like he really isn't keen on them! It's subtle things like thar which makes Partridge so funny.
I think "what's your King and car?" could be the funniest 5 words ever uttered.
Simply genius. So many levels of humour going on at once here.

One of the best sketches, so nuanced and full of great writing and acting
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes! Such middle-class garden barbecue cringe. Genius.
Hhhhhhhh!!!
There’s more than one Cromwell Alan!
I know there's more than one Cromwell, just look in the phone book.
@@highnoon7097 I know you, you’re mates with Dicky Anders

I love Mid Morning Matters. I've got very fond memories of when it first went online. Also, I'm a big fan of kings and cars.
Lovely stuff.
I haven’t seen Alan so excited since he met Dan
I love Alan, in a way!
That thumbnail is perfect. I can hear him saying it. "Who's yer King and Caaar?"
1:35 ' this is the best call I've... ever had'.
I think this is, err, the best clip....I've ever watched!
MMM is absolute PEAK Partridge
This is classic Partridge!!!!!
Brilliant piece. Love Simon. Six pack of mead🤣🤣🤣.
That means I'll have to pay for another call. That's fine😂
“There’s a half eaten crunchie in the glove box, I’d ask you to leave that as I’m driving to Banbury later”
I’m loving that I’ve only just found out I missed the whole second series during a house move. Yesssssss 😊😊😊😊😊
Where are you calling from? Home. That really got me. 😄
I was really getting into the King and Car discussion.
One of my favourite AP sketches ever
Absolutely superb!
Sunday is always good for me........................ John?
“That’s fine”
"It will mean I have to pay for another call."
Richard had everything in that Leicester car park
obscure but funny
Such an under appreciated joke
1:31 “I’m liking this John” is pure Jeremy Vine
...who is a friend of... mine. Rhymes doesn't it?
It’s is just pure comedy gold.
Haven't seen AP get so excited by someone since meeting Dan for the first time
Alan falls for John. I fear this is Dan all over again.
Hopefully he's not a sex person...
This scene is genius...
I just checked the phone book, there are indeed dozens of Cromwell's!
That is first class.
There's more than one Cromwell Tetlee!!!!
@@wyverntheterrible I know I know there's more than one, there's dozens of them!
I knowwww there's more than Cromwell, there's loads, I've got a friend called Cromwell.
Actually he's called Cresswell. Meant to call him back
@@highnoon7097 How many cows do you have? 100? Well, I know 102 Cromwells.
cutz him off right at the end when he wants to say a few hellos.
Great even to the last second 👖

So good
Some say this morphed into Star In A Reasonably Priced Car when Clarkson found it hard to book Monarchs. Particularly deceased ones.
This is great
love the bromance 😂

Clearly not. I mean, Lexus?!

"There's more than one Cromwell Alan!"

the woods end pub is a real place! just outside of norwich
There's also one in STOKE
Just outside Surlingham, no less! Looks like a bloody nice pub actually. watersedgewoodsend.co.uk/
Not only that, I’m even wondering if this is where they shot the beer garden scene in “Watership Alan” ...

How do you feel about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?

I'm crying

Chair movement before Henry the eighth. Lovely stuff.
0:26 If I had a pound for every time I’d used this in real situations since hearing it here, I’d be a…

It’s funny how Alan is convinced there are right and wrong answers!
Mid Mornings Matter after a large bran muffin and three cups of strong, black coffee.
The cresswell but made me laugh out loud
henry 8th.... rangey, definitely.
That casual sexism for the woman calling to talk about cars is just too real🤣🤣
Side kick simon, sidekick simon.
Queen Victoria - Volvo 245DL estate. Brown. With a dog guard in the boot.
I'm not sure you've got the hang of this Simon. :-) Given her parentage Queen Vic would definitely drive something German. I'm liking the dog guard though.
What's your king and carrr
Mary on line 2 was such a time waster. Surely people like her could be vetted before going to air.
Sounds like Lynne calling in to boost numbers. Although, she’d probably recommend a Yaris.
She's hairy.

Erm... Home...
