It was filmed in front of a studio audience. I spoke to someone who was there, Steve (in character as Alan) wanted Chris to say hello to the audience, but he was very shy and uncomfortable as he hadn't performed in front of an audience before. Because the travel tavern set was completely enclosed on all sides the audience could only see the back of the walls and had to watch on TV screens. Absolutely love this scene, it has to be one of my all-time favourite comedy moments, especially 3:10
The comedy minds that went into the whole Alan Partridge series from KMKYWAP to I'm Alan Partridge (even the Red Nose Day sketches which were not given the reception they deserved from the "Saturday Night Takeaway" style audience) is simply astounding. We need more stand out comedy like this.
My favourite was "Half a glass of orange in a dead body Alan? Where are you getting these figures?" I just love the implication of one unseen producer's plea for Chris to engage in small talk with Alan, and Chris being 'too professional' to pull it off properly.
my favourite line is where he says 'theres all these chickens! theres all these chickens and they're looking down on all the smaller chickens and there scared! they're scared!' I really don't think you can beat comedy like this :)
Too many to mention but this has to rate as maybe the funniest alan partridge scene ever. First time i watched this, wiv a room full of mates some of them hadnt really seen it before or the kind of thing they would normally watch. I remember persuading them to tune in to to see it that night and all 6 of us were laughing for nearly a minute . A true comic genius and it must be remembered that the first time i saw the office thinking gervais has nicked elements of the prat from partridge.
It is indeed. Good to see him reunited with Coogan (and the writing of Iannucci and Baynham). Many of the best moments on The Day Today were the bits with the two 'bantering'.
Haha. I am LOVING this! Every morning I get up to another installment of "mikes point of view", and some quasi-offensive statements by the man himself. I think one of us is taking it a LITTLE to seriously... aren't we? You cant offend me by calling me a boy, when I suggested it? And no, never, I will never stop replying! This is way too much fun.
I saw the film mentioned a few months ago on IMDB but just now when i looked it doesnt seem to be there. In its place was a biopic hes playing title role in about Eddie The Eagle Edwards :oS
It's sad but i can see myself retaliating in the exact same way that Alan does when that guy insults his personal life. Sometimes it's hard to put aside bitterness and let people talk to you like crap, you just feel the revenge burning lol.
@chechenwolf Hahah make your mind up! yeah, I was lukewarm on the second series, too, but warmed up to it when it was repeated....I'd be surprised if Coogan and Ianucci ever surpass the standard of the Travel Tavern stuff!
@@Birneybau100 ringo starr was a famous drummer, he never appeared in the IT Crowd..... you're thinking of an elton john lookalike who appeared in an episode where they all thought jen was dead
Really! I always saw this and wondered if there could possibly be anyone like this in farming, or if Chris Morris was just playing a version of himself again.
rofl at 3:10. Nearly in tears. ^^ If you see a lovely field with a family having a picnic, and there's a nice pond in it. You fill in the pond with concrete, you plough the family into the field, you blow up the tree, and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife who's also your brother!
@@dellafenton2417 My personal favourite sketch is the Mitchell and Webb brain surgeon sketch, but I chose this username to show my equal love for Monty Python and for Norway.
No matter how good something is, Chris Morris always manages to make it a little bit better.
"Sordid little grief hole"
That's so Chris Morris!
Many thanks. Never caught that up to now.
steve coogan and chris morris work brilliantly together. one of the best scenes in british comedy.
Chris Morris.
Top Bloke. 👍
Chris Morris? Wasn’t he the bloke who murdered Michael Heseltine? ON AIR!
Hello Computer
Alan Partridge exposes Reynholm Industries.
@Scott hartee hartee har

I know this comment is 12 years old but that’s a nice bit of trivia.
I like to consider this particular episode as the Ultimate Episode. It has everything.
hilarious dialogue.
"you make pigs smoke!"
Did not expect to see you here
Hello there
Holy Shit! Hello big fan!
surprisingly accurate picture of farmers and the farming community
finally a journalist with the courage to speak the truth
AND THESE CHICKENS ARE SCARED THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THERE SO BIG......LOL
Whiteboy White they’re*
Whiteboy White Chukins
"Ohhh why am I so massive"
"Mooooooo, thought that'd throw you"
Partridge is my hero.
in this clip. morris is king. morris is a comedy anarchist which is just better to be really.
"How many cows have you got"?
"I dunno, I've got 100 cows"
"I've got 104 friends"
I remember laughing at this line most of the evening
😂
The way he looks so smug when he says he has 104 friends, as if he feels he's got one over on him
100 cattle
"You make pigs smoke." Makes me laugh every time.
It's bigger than that Chris, it's large...
Throw them away, The history books will have to be rewritten, They'll simply say John Major punched The Queen, everything else will be a footnote.
It's Chrisser than big, large, it's that.
We're pushed for time,can you sum it up in a word?
No.
In a sound?
Wooaarghhh!
You are mistaken. That wasn't Alan Partridge. It was Spartacus Mills.
[End of ironic reply]
this dialog is absolutely amazingly written. it never stops being funny. brilliantly written and brilliantly performed
"you feed beefburgers to swans"
"do I?"
"yes you do".
I love the way alan says that. so matter of fact.
Steve Coogan and Chris Morris, two of my all-time comedy heroes.
One of the best Alan Partridge moments ever.
His face when he does the Mooooooooooooo absolutely classic quality comedy writing
quite simply the best comedy chemistry in Britain, just a damn shame they dont work together more often
The comedy minds that went into the whole Alan Partridge series from KMKYWAP to I'm Alan Partridge (even the Red Nose Day sketches which were not given the reception they deserved from the "Saturday Night Takeaway" style audience) is simply astounding. We need more stand out comedy like this.
'The fact is, an awful lot of my colleagues.....'
'Yeah, farmyard animals....'
Superb. Hahaha
“My colleagues”
“Yeah, farm yard animals”
"Sordid little grief hole"
It's a Travel Tavern
Interesting to see chris morris play the sensible one.
He agrees with slaughtering and abusing innocent Animals for profit , not very sensible in Vegan's eyes.
What's genius....he really is Britain's best comic for a long time now and stands the test of time.
Two absolute masters of clever comedy .
No arguments there, man. Genius working with genius. They're great together on The Day Today, too.
Genius. Probably one of the best Partridge scenes
"You feed beef burgers to swans!!"
Perhaps you can tell me what's wrong with that
@Scott exactly i think hes just a big posh sod with plums in his mouth
Bloody Brilliant ,makes me proud to be British, we have the best humour on the planet .
Did you know that the cow that was dropped on him was actually filmed on the thames down by hampton court on the house boat island bridge.
"you make pigs smoke"!! hahahahahaha i swear that gets me in tears everytime!
'You blow up the TREE and use the leaves to make a dress for your WIFE who's also your brother!' Also priceless!! Ne, Lena!?
this man is a complete legend and more series should have been made!
Complete cretin, more like!
FOR YOUR WIFE WHO'S ALSO YOUR BROTHER.....
'Sordid little grief hole'
Both Morris and Coogan are legends. I'm gonna see Stevie at the Apollo ! Back of the net !
I've seen the big eared boys on farms....
I've seen this so many times and I've only just noticed "have you got any more of this or do you want to stop at quacking plums?". 😂🤣
Yes - brilliant 😂
partridge movie going ahead!!! finally. I think as long as steve has the enthusiasm it'll be good
My favourite was "Half a glass of orange in a dead body Alan? Where are you getting these figures?" I just love the implication of one unseen producer's plea for Chris to engage in small talk with Alan, and Chris being 'too professional' to pull it off properly.

Thank you Peter Baxindale-Thomas, and this is T'Pau.
"Moooooooooooooooooooooo!!
Thought that would throw you."
wonderful homage to the four yorkshiremen
"... and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife, who is also your brother!"
Haha, priceless!
Too many to mention but this has to rate as maybe the funniest alan partridge scene ever.

Comedy writing at its best.

Brilliant brilliant meeting of comedians.
Hehe... he always finds a way to critisise which is extremely funny! This is a great show! ^_^
I've seen the big eared boys on farms.
"Have you got anymore of this, or do you want to stop at quacking plums ?"
Rare appearance of Chris Morris here - from The Day Today. Funnily, it was On The Hour/The Day Today where Alan partridge first appeared.
I can remember watching this when it was first on I was rolling on the floor laughing. And it's still funny as fuck!
It's sad but i can see myself retaliating in the exact same way that Alan does when that guy insults his personal life.
Sometimes it's hard to put aside bitterness and let people talk to you like crap, you just feel the revenge burning lol.
you're a good dude. few people can analayse themselves like that with complete objectiveness
strange to see chris morris playing a serious part, cheers for the post pal, pure gold.
"Sordid little griefhole"
"I should've said baguette"
lmfaooooo
alan partridge is the best comedy in the world with mighty boosh straight after.
Morris/Coogan: the crown jewels of british comedy.
love this programme, hes so funny
the moo bit cracks me up
Gotta love this guy!!
he is the biggest living legend ever!
@chechenwolf Hahah make your mind up! yeah, I was lukewarm on the second series, too, but warmed up to it when it was repeated....I'd be surprised if Coogan and Ianucci ever surpass the standard of the Travel Tavern stuff!
Only just realised that Peter baxendale Thomas is reynholm from the IT crowd
i was wondering where I'd seen him before....
are you sure ? are you sure ? are you sure ? are you sure ?
That's like referring to Ringo Starr as the narrator of Thomas The Tank Engine
@@Birneybau100 ringo starr was a famous drummer, he never appeared in the IT Crowd..... you're thinking of an elton john lookalike who appeared in an episode where they all thought jen was dead
oh God this is killing me - im never gonna be able to eat chicken again without laughing!
lmao i love his face wen he says "like to stick to your own" . hes brilliant.
@ericleroi333 it's not canned - its either filmed in front of an audience (inside a sealed set) or filmed and then shown to an audience.
IT'S A TRAVEL TAVERN
Lol. Absolutely love Alan getting increasingly irritated, then sighing an attempted light-hearted "yeah...".
"the fact is an awful lot of my collegues..."
"Yes, 40 odd animals"
Lol
I'm 12 years late but he actually says "Yes, farmyard animals".
Back of the net.
You can tell Chris Morris had his filthy way with the script here. Glorious.
Simply brilliant ah ha 👌
Being that I work in Farming. I swear..I know this Chris Morris, character 😁😆
Really! I always saw this and wondered if there could possibly be anyone like this in farming, or if Chris Morris was just playing a version of himself again.
Gentleman farmers - a dying breed.
Bears a striking resemblance to the anchorman back when Alan was on the day today. 😅
He has got a point- Why are the sheds so big? Chickens are less than a foot high
I never knew til now that Peter Baxendale-Thomas is Chris Morris from The Day Today :P
rofl at 3:10. Nearly in tears. ^^

@Ecad82 It's a Travel Tavern . . .
I've only just realised this is Chris Morris and I've watched this hundreds of times! :$
"You complete cretin!" 🤣🤣🤣
My TH-cam username was inspired by this :)
My username is also taken from a comedy sketch.
@@Pining_for_the_fjords Your user name is probably the funniest sketch ever...

It was great now thinking by Alan at the end of the giant chickens rant when he said "do you deny that", knowing the guy had left.
@utdfordouble yeah I think that these two (Chris morris and Steve Coogan) influenced gervais, I see a lot of David brent in Alan Partridge.
This is soooo bloody good!
TBF he got him with the swans, showed him right up... egg all over Chris Morris' face or what
And those eggs are probably the size of a Ford Anglia with the amount of chemicals he puts in all the chickens.
Steve Coogan + Chris Morris = Legends.
'you concrete over the pond, you plow the family into the field and you blow up the tree' Brilliant
The later in life I get, the more I realise that I'm Alan Partridge 🤔🙈🤣🤣🤣
Aha!
Alan partridge makes Richard Madeley look tactful lol😂
@MrVinushka Morris is a genius..do you know if he's got anything coming out soon? 4 Lions was sublime.
@SimonB198207 Yes, but Ian Beale must have been involved at some point. Did you enjoy him?
I haven't laughed like this in a long time, thanks steve XD.
my favourite alan partridge/chris morris interaction ever
BEST SHOW EVAR!
"You feed BEEFburgers to swans!" has become my absolute favourite insult now. Sadly no-one ever knows what the hell I'm talking about.
