The Partridge canon is huge. You can find the resolution of the TV contract issue in his autobiography "I Partridge, We Need To Talk About Alan" (the audiobook read in character by Steve Coogan is an absolute joy) which also covers Alan's own recollections/interpretations of the events you've seen in the series. It's a work of genius.
I’ve every piece of work partridge has done on audible and dvd......all of it is top drawer.....the oust house podcast series are the finest work ever 😂
The other DJ,Dave Clifton (Phil Cornell) had a show Stella Street,where he played all the characters such as Mick Jagger,Keith Richards Joe Pesci and many more.
Co starred with the sadly no longer with us John sessions. It was very funny at the time but I'm not sure they would know who most of the people being impersonated were/are now days.
I once saw Alan's bully in the reception at my doctors in Chester. Ian Puleston-Davies is his name. Unfortunately, I didn't have hot bramley apple pie on me at the time
Simon Greenall. Michael, the Geordie. Underrated or not credited enough. He was brilliant in Phoneshop as the sales training day expert. Hilarious bloke:
Random bit of trivia: the school used in the external shots is Hampton Grammar School in London, which I went to. I remember being so surprised watching this episode as a teenager and seeing my school!
His rivalry with Clifton made a lot more sense in S1- the breakfast show is one of the biggest slots on radio, so Alan was probably just jealous. Not sure what his beef is now that Clifton is doing the midnight shift.
I think it boils down to a clash of egos. Sometimes an antagonistic rivalry just won’t die. It’s possible that David is still considered a better DJ, and brought more popularity to the later time slot than Alan did. That would continue to get under Alan’s skin.
Go in and listen to Tommy Johansson who was a guitarist in Sabaton, do covers of queen, abba, gary more and a lot of others. super talent. Sings like a god, is a multi-instrumentalist, at least 10 instruments, does everything himself. He's amazing.
In the real life UK TV industry, if presenters embarrass themselves, its known as an 'doing an accidental Partridge' if they become like Alan for a moment or two.
8k a year when this was made (2002) is only 16k now 😂 Also, Alan Partridge Scissored Isle is worth a watch. It's basically a mockumentary about British culture.
Sadly wages haven't kept up with inflation in the main. I was earning £18k a year in 2002, which was an okay entry level wage. Bank of England inflation would put that at around £32k today. There's no way the job I was doing then would pay £32k.
It's a poor amount for being a PA. Especially with all the crazy tasks Alan has her doing - you see her working extremely late nights or early like in the traffic cone episode. The humour of the line comes from Alan thinking he's being extremely generous, when he's basically exploiting her.
It happens. I even found myself doing his “I need to try to justify my very existence, and whatever I just said, even though I should have shut up two sentences ago” follow-ups that Alan does. Unlike Alan, I don’t lack the filter to prevent doing so, but it just amuses me.
He has a definite "anorak" accent... I'd say it's associated with intelligence but also being socially akward, not region specific. certainly not _posh_ though.
I loved Knowing Me Knowing You and the first series of this show. However, imho this second series is dire and probably the poorest show Coogan's been involved with.

You guys would love 'Mid Morning Matters' its another Alan Partridge show but its set exclusively in the radio studio.
Second that!!
"come on Sonia, let's be appalling" is one of his greatest lines ever
That one and ''That was classic intercourse''.

Phil Cornell plays DJ Clifton brilliantly he's got that presence in his voice to banter with Partrige 😂
@@midnightzathras6870 Americans would know a few,Jack Nicholson,Joe Pesci Mick Keith Michael Cane can't remember the rest
And of course when on Steve Wright in the Afternoon and Gilbert's Fridge 😀
Keeeeeith! Have you seen the date on these marshmaalooows?
Rolf Harris as an example of people who bounced back hits different now.
😂
rolf gonna take some bouncing to bounce back from that lol
And he didn't care if you were gay either
He like adolescent things now
Took him far too long to bounce to where he should have been long before. 🪦
I swear Steve Coogan based Alan Partridge's voice on Robin "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" Leach. Sounds just like him!
I can’t even imagine the atrocities Alan would likely be willing to commit to get a host gig like that.
😂😂 these never get old
I once saw Alan's bully in the reception at my doctors in Chester. Ian Puleston-Davies is his name. Unfortunately, I didn't have hot bramley apple pie on me at the time
Mid Morning Matters !! It's season 3...A MUST WATCH
Minor women's whiplash 😂😂
Oh YES !!!! Been waiting for this 😂😂😂

You lads are gunna love his movie Alpha Papa, also his Football (Soccer) Commentary is just epic.

@@0okamino good point. Alan can be remarkably petty and driven by jealousy
been using they saying HOTTER THEN THE SUN since this was first aired ha ha
Theres No limits with his ways he just as No emotion on all levels 😂😂

You are about to be entertained by "Dan". Cant wait for your reaction. Then the James Bond episode. Brilliant.

Ignore the people saying do "Mid-Morning Matters" next and do Knowing Me Knowing You first, so you're not too chronologically fucked
Lovely stuff.
Not my words Michael, but the words of Shakin Stevens
I like shaking stevens & he likes shaking mine😉
It's hotter than the Sun! XD
You're looking super slim there, Spencer. well done 🙂
The actress playing Sonia is British. She's just putting on a generic Eastern European accent
You notice Shaun Ryder building Alans house... I'm sure that'll go well!

I mean this was Clarkson around about this time before Top Gear returned.
Mid Morning Matters !!!
Hurray !!
You should watch "Green Wing", it's hilarious and has lots of sexual innuendos. You'll love it.
+1 to add Green Wing to your long list of things to watch
Mid Morning Matters !!!!!!!!!!!!!! After this season ends
"Having a slash" is taking a piss.
Have you guys seen Alan in the new Joker trailer?
Luckily audiobooks, oasthouse episodes etc are up on TH-cam
Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan!
Not yet wait for the episode :P
🤣
Goggle translate changed this to "and,and,and 🤷

You’ve got to do Mid Morning Matters
Fun fact series 2 didn’t come out until 5 years after season 1.
If you two only knew whats coming up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just wait until he lives in the hotel and meets dan 😂😂😂😂😂ut gets better and better
"People bounce back... Rolf Harris...." perhaps not.
Alpha Papa
But you would be the most popular talkers with the students in your old high school😊
In 2002 £8,000 was worth about $12,500 so not far off the US federal minimum wage depending on how many hours a week she works.

@@JemmaH153 She loves it.

React to "Cricket explained for baseball fans"
Frighteningly I think Alan is rubbing off on you and turning you slightly Partridge.
It happens. I even found myself doing his “I need to try to justify my very existence, and whatever I just said, even though I should have shut up two sentences ago” follow-ups that Alan does. Unlike Alan, I don’t lack the filter to prevent doing so, but it just amuses me.
Spencer doesn’t get it. Alan has a personality disorder but he’s certainly not lacking in intelligence
What happened to the peep show reactions?
The first series is better, but I have to say the second is more quotable.
Accents like what? He doesn't have a posh accent.
Oh shut up
He has a definite "anorak" accent... I'd say it's associated with intelligence but also being socially akward, not region specific. certainly not _posh_ though.
@@N_Jones perfect explanation

This Time is the poorest show Coogan has been involved with not this.
I’m afraid you don’t get the humour of him at all
For some reason they cut out virtually all the bits where they're laughing, i.e. actually reacting. Makes the whole thing a bit pointless.
They don't..
