I just love the idea of her sitting there waiting for Alan to finish his dump, looking over at the framed photos of Jet and Roger Moore, wondering what she's letting herself in for.
"It was my understanding in the lift that no money would change hands" is the single best Partridge line ever uttered by the great man. You don't even need to see that 'lift conversation' to know just how painful it would've been. Brilliantly written. Comedy genius.
If i ever find myself in this situation, i have a horrible feeling i won't be able to stop myself quoting at least some of these lines, if not all of them.
classic british comedy was in a league of its own. im irish and i grew up watching british tele......nothing like it! no profanity - just good clean (dirty-clean) fun :) lol
I'm 49 today. For my birthday I asked my dad a few days ago to get me a valance (the only thing i actually need) my 72 year old dad didn't know what a valance was so I sent him clip. Its taken him 4 days to recover from it. He was laughing so much he said he nearly had a heart attack.
"Lynn, hand me an Apple pie and remove yourself from the theatre of conflict". Was there ever anyone funnier?. The comic genius of this man is in my DNA.
I've used many of Alan's lines, especially' Let battle commence!' In bed with my wife. For some reason, she doesn't find it nearly as funny as I do? Strange..
I doubt Americans would get this on the same level as those in the U.K. because deep down everyone has been exposed to their own Partridge at work or even family. Dire Straits and Genesis seems to be a common factor and putting their own words to songs they’ve got in their heads
