In a deleted scene, Alan goes, "is there a bus service?" to which the agent replied, "no, you WILL need a car I'm afraid" - Alan's reaction, "Good!" :))))))))))))))))))))))
When I agreed a price on the place I was buying I shouted, "my five bedroom bastard house" in front of the estate agent. He quietly reminded me it was a studio flat.
I remember being 15 years old (in 2003), staying up late at my dad's house, watching SKY tv, waiting for softcore porn to come on Bravo and Men & Motors. As I was browsing the channels the kitchen scene came on and I almost choked on my cup of tea from laughing at his "rinser" comment. I'd never even heard of Partridge before then but ever since I've been hooked. Anyway, that's the end of my boring little anecdote.
Really? Insane? Do you understand what the word means? It is not possible for a fact to be insane. You clearly do not understand the concept of inflation too.
I love how he made an offer on the house based on the toilet flushing on the first yank, the proximity to a Shell with a mini mart and the extender, but he didn't know how many bedrooms there were. hahahahaha
I rented a holiday apartment last year with friends & family. The main dining room table was an extender - I opened it and shouted "YES!! IT'S AN EXTENDER!!!!". Nobody had a clue what I was talking about!
A cast iron egg tree lacquered😂😂 not a deal breaker... also love the "get rid of it" part. Like he transforms into this big boss like he's incharge comedy genius
Mind you, that median salary back then was under £17000. I find it funny reading biographies of people famous in the 60s/70s, talkign about them buying apartments in central London for prices that wouldn't buy you a low-spec Ford Fiesta these days.
If anyone wants more of Partridge and as Alan Partridge series 1 and 2 on dvd, then watch it again with commentary on, it's got Alan Partridge commentating the series. Really good.
We actually do have an extending dining table which most of the time is 'unextended', but when we have friends over and i have to extend the table to accommodate more people, i always say 'yes, it's an extender' when pulling the leaves out. Tragic i know.
I was in Furniture Village looking for a table and extended one with "Yes, its an extender!" and a smile at the shop assistant. He looked at me like the estate agent does at the end of this clip. As did my wife.
@@briwire138 No we don't and on more than one occasion we've had to use 4 milkcrates i have stashed in the cellar. That in itself is very Alan Partridge.
I was at a meeting at work, and we all had to sit round a long table. I almost shouted out, "Yes! It's an extender". Fortunately I caught myself in time.
I like the bit when Lynn and the estate agent are waiting downstairs for Alan to finish doing a shit in the buck rogers toilet in the glacier mint aqua bathroom :D
We own a Poplar Berkley homes detached property from the 90s and the bathroom scene was clearly filmed in one because it looks exactly like our house! It felt like it was being filmed in our home. Like I was inside Alan Partridge. That came out wrong. 😬
It’s Partridge for me but not by a country mile.Rigsby is great in smaller doses and I love Brent Gareth and Finchy.Lets not forget Saxondale btw. I could watch Alan for hours though.👍
Does anyone else remember a little clip from this house scene that isn't included here or on the DVD? They walk into one of the rooms and Alan says "Is this ceiling high or low?" Lynne replies "I think it's in between." It's been annoying me for years and not sure if I imagined it or not. If I did not imagine it, it must have been on the original television broadcast and then edited out of the DVD release, for one reason or another. Imagine it said in their voices and with facial expressions and it's hilarious either way.
You didn't imagine it, but given it's in a compilation of 'unused bits' I suspect you probably saw an extra rather than it being edited out after the original broadcast but who knows ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W-nZ_wi2fIA.html
I think by the time we were reaching an agreement on our first house purchase, we wouldn't budge on 200k and the seller had spent ages trying to get 202k out of us. They caved.
"first yank" is the wrong term, and potentially mis-leading to someone who hasn't seen the clip, as yank would suggest a pull flush mechanism ie: a pull chain. It was clearly a push handle so you would say "it flushed on the first push". Hope that helps.
Maybe I was too young when I first saw this to pick up on it, or maybe its just really ahead of its time, but the little nuances and remarks from Alan really illustrate his pettiness and ignorance.
I think you will find many people still aspire to that look, most of the volume house-builders still build like that on low-density green-field sites. Lets face it the open-plan thing was only given a big push as it also saves developers money.
