'He's either responsible for one of the biggest ornithological genocides of our time, or he's the greatest farmyard to table strategist of the last 100 years'.
Responsible for The greatest ornithological genocide ? Actually it was the Germans during WWII, who trapped and/or shot any bird approaching the French coast should it be a carrier pigeon.
I can't get over how flustered the caller was getting about sliced bread, from the outrage to the slight accent, that whole (terry's chocolate) segment is hilarious
"And that's a relish!" "... mustard." Is some of the best comedic dialogue I've ever heard. Is it bad I can recite this word for word? Please Steve, Armando and Tim: bring this back. I enjoyed the new series of This Time with AP but Mid Morning Matters just goes all in, jokes one after another. Incredible how many they manage to cram into such a simple format: two dudes sitting in a DJ booth in (North*) Norfolk. Just guys being dudes. One of the funniest shows ever made.
I agree it's much funnier than "This Time" Your right about his wonderful interaction with Tim. Hope the character continues in whatever new format they come up with.
You should also include the Gibbons brothers, I think they're the main writers of all 'post-I'm' Partridge. Geniuses all but it really does come down to the enactment at the end of the day, which is 100% Coogan. I don't think there's any comedy that crams as much funny per second as Partridge.
15:07 "it's 7.01" "very nearly" That's really tickled me. Mid Morning Matters has so many excellent throwaway lines between the main jokes. The way every sentence is spoken, the facial expressions, the timing. It's Partridge perfected.
Im sat here watching this in the Tea room at work with headphones on , and im laughing out loud i regret NOTHING ...Still love AP after all these years .Hope we continue to see him on our screens for years to come.
Steves character has never suffered from bad writing in the 25+ years he's been on telly, i'm so glad Alan is still around, what's so bizzare is that I realised Alan hasn't changed in all that time, as i thought over the years he had become more sympathetic, no, its because i'm now closer to him in character now as i approach 45, I see some of myself in Alan, which adds a new fresh comedic layer to his character, im laughing at myself, something i did not relate to when i discovered him in my early 20s. Working with Steve many years ago was great and a pleasure, I never mentioned however, that I admired his work, i wish i had.
Alan is the best comedy character I've ever seen. Please make more series or mockumentaries, it's been too long and I'm watching everything in repeat for like 10 times now, we need more much more! Love from Portugal
The greatest of all time. Long live Alan Partridge. My dad took me to see his stand up show when I was 12 back in the mid 90s.my dad's passed now but was a massive partridge fan he never lived to see mid morning matters... Imo the very best of Alan Partridge
The genius of Alan Partridge is that it gets better with every watch - there are little subtleties that you can easily miss he first, second and third time round! Although, I may be a little slow on the uptake!
@@drdassler the op probably meant in the sense everyone raves about things like Mrs Brown's Boys and nonsense like that yet MMWAP israrely spoken about
@@IpswichRobert I've only heard Mrs Brown's Boys spoke about with contempt. I've never heard a single person say it was any good. It's the Boris Johnson of comedy. I was being rhetorical anyway, 'underrated' is the most misused word on the internet. They mean underappreciated but are so used to judging everything on how many likes it gets. I just like being a douche about it. 😜
I agree, I loved the first 2 series, but when I watch them now, they seem a bit old fashioned & a bit twee, these ones, every single line makes me laugh
@@grahamdrummond2412 the tv show had the laugh track on it which doesn't help. but this stuff in the studio is so tight without distractions. masterful. would love for him to go back to this format, must be a hell of a lot cheaper too
@@SaintDomingo1 This Time had a lot of great moments, but it was VERY inconsistent. Especially when compared to Mid Morning Matters, which barely missed a beat across both series.
@@AdAstra78 I think it's one of his greatest works - but he has many great works doesn't he. Saxondale was phenomenal. Also the one where he worked the supermarket tills for a day and became really good at it 🤣🤣
Knew I recognised that voice! Also the first woman caller was the same woman who called in talking about Gandalf and his “long white beard” on series 1 of “Im Alan Partridge”
I listened to this in the shower - absolutely hilarious - but then I watched it and it was ten times funnier! You must watch it to fully appreciate the genius of this guy!
@@grantmalone lord lucan is famous for going missing and never reappearing. To use that as an example of comparison for someone who just “rolls in” is the joke.
@@chicohunt1206yeah. I got it. Also its funnier if you remember all the sightings of them that happened after he disappeared. He popped up here in Australia in the mid seventies. According to the Sunday papers.
"I've come up with a top ten list of things not to say to a customs officer" "Time for travel update with Chris Gifford. Kippers. That's what I had." great writing.
Season 1 is peak Partridge. Who else used to have the App on your phone, that shuffled your music, playing the show as if it were the radio in between tracks…?
I'll never forget when this came out. It was first published for free on TH-cam I think. Such high quality comedy - no marketing - it just appeared! Have wanted to re-watch the series ever since. It's hard to say - but this may be my favorite Steve Coogan series.
Wonderful stuff ! The ' From the Oast House' podcasts on Audible have me laughing out loud too and also bare repeated listening . Coogan has an amazingly versatile voice and uses it to great effect on that. Would highly recommend to Patridge fans if you haven't heard it already .👍
Love Mr Alan Partridge. Always interesting when he reverts to his Steve Cogan character, I understand he needs to do this occasionally to make loads of money in Hollywood.
the first 3 mins are , if anyone can remember them ... is SO Chris Moyles and "comedy Dave " , complete with the contrived "riffing" banter and dead air ! sure they had them in mind in that scene
@@MamaLinz123 it is ..painfully reminiscent , isnt it ? of that dark period in the history of radio ..where inexplicably , that juvenile, fat , utterly unlikable character Moyles was allowed to indulge in his delusional belief in his own charisma daily on a national station .. it beggars belief ! But then again , we are talking about the same radio station ..that in more recent time saw fit to indulge the odious Nick Grimshaw in the same way , a vacuous , vapid man with no discernable talent and a voice more suited to silent movies , no doubt only getting his position thanks to his (obvious) homosexuality !
I’m a massive fan of Alan across all formats but this is premium Partridge in it’s purest form.
It's textbook Partridge, it really is.
Lovely stuff
Grade A, locally sourced arse to ear holes verbal diarrhoea. With complimentary cobbler’s.
@Wild Berries Top Gear magazine
That is first class
I love how Sidekick Simon is always a bit nervous around Alan but also soaks up his praise.
This is *GREAT* banter! It really is......

Can I have a T Shirt ?
I think it was voiced by Simon Greenall (Michael the Geordie)
That line about the voiceover artist cracked me up - glad someone else noted it 😂

The dead air while Alan tried to remember what he had to eat 🤣🤣🤣
A masterpiece of comic timing.
So many gems - “I had already commenced foreplay when I remembered I hadn’t renewed my tax disk”
I was howling at that. 😂
Quick call to the DVLA, sorted.
"The Clifton Suspension Bridge was built for people like you, and the fact you can drive across it is just a bonus"
He was an unpleasant person, a bit like.. Jamiroquai.. 😂
Alan was the guy who kept moving his furniture around inducing insanity, virtually.
He's clearly a character. He definitely is!
There's that cattiness again.
All the love went from his eyes. Chilling.
"She sounds like she's being touched on a bus!" Caught me off guard
Alan's sheer pedantry in getting the caller to say spaghetti bolognese instead of spag bol :-)
“I think panel beating was too narrow a topic”
Howling 😂
then over-compensating with "whats your favourite thing"....brilliant
It’s sliced bread innit?
I never tire of Mid Morning Matters.
Liquid comedy.

Whenever I hear brave mentioned I always say to myself "so ruddy, bloody brave." 😂
"yeah you're a compleme cunm".... Literally burst out laughing every time I watch that 🤣

Honestly the best Partridge series ever.
The hot water bottle gag was brilliant. The timing was spot on, especially the second hand up to stop Simon from saying it again 😂
The look of defeat on Simon's face
They are vast. I've got to send this to Jonathan Ross 😂
fucking gold
And all the love went from his eyes
Alan….you have got me through some tough times in my life. This is classic Partridge. Thank you for making me cry with laughter!
Are you on an E?
The Bernard Mathews part is gold
“Bernard has not actually rung the neck of a turkey for a few years and even then it was for a charity event”
I’m in tears of laughter.
‘Rod…’
‘Hull?’
‘No, Stewart’
Im roaring!
I can't help but wonder exactly what kind of charity event that would have been...🤔

I have to say, this is truly great banter.
Steve Coogan is Fantastic...Simply the best Tv comedic shows the UK has ever produced..He gets better and better..👌👌👏👏
