@@KingKong-do8cj No, the later Toblerone breakdown - which began with him driving to Dundee in his bare feet - happened during 2000 and 2001. The aftermath was depicted in the second series of _I'm Alan Partridge_ in 2002, and he also wrote about it in 'Bouncing Back' and 'I, Partridge.'
This is a genial showing from Partridge, arguably the greatest of all. Going off the rails...losing it. Coogan really is a magnificent comedy performer
These segments are arguably the best Partridge's of all time. I've seen them all. I've laughed a lot, too much, if there is such a thing! I can honestly say, hands down, this is the video that brings me most joy. It's Alan, it's classic, It's live, It's hilarious, Michael's in it, sorry, Charity Charlie. Enjoy, but most of all give. Give to the poor ones not laughing. Laugh, but remember those not laughing. Just something to think about.
@@roblinnbailey2359 oh come on, that's like saying someone who sets up the tightrope equipement is far more talented than the man guy who walks across it. Besides, Coogan co writes.
It holds up well even to me as a 24 year old born in 1995. Up the quality and I would assume this was produced this year easily. 1979 still seems like the stone age to me though haha
Thank you for uploading the full version of this ... a heavily edited version appeared on one of the Partridge DVDs (cut presumably because of rights issues with the music).
yes it would be superb. Did you catch Kate and rowan atkinson - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bwG5AqZih8I.html ? - my favourite female vocalist - freddie being my fave male vocalist.
On the original when Alan goes Into he studio to do the medley he asks the taxi driver to waive the fee for comic relief. When the Taxi driver says no Alan turns round waves his fist and says Y greedy bastard.
His mannerisms, tics and faux-pas looks are out of this world. So glad he made them all really his own, whether it's in IAP, MMM, TT, KMKY or whatever he's yet hopefully to appear in. It doesn't stale one single iota (or iotas - or exi, for that matter)!
There are those rare things in comedy (although my listing further on makes it appear they're not that rare at all), where you can watch, watch and re-watch a bit without tiring in the least, even laughing more and more each time round. The Simpsons, OFAH, Family Guy, Blackadder, Reginald Perrin, Dad's Army etc., but almost all of Partridgiana is the absolute and very top! All hats off, Mr. Coogan (and Ianucci, Baynham and Gibbons)!
I wonder if he charged comic relief for that glow up between radio Norwich and the BBC studios Probably needed wardrobe to have a go at his weave after the buffering from the helicopter. Really makes you think!
Ricky Gervais is such a genius he inspired much better comedians to come up with original material so he could rip off for Americans to lose there minds to.
An interesting comparison between myself and Alan is that we both live in 5 bedroom detached houses with extending tables. I’m not boasting it’s just a fact.
Laura Caskey and also, on I'm Alan Partridge he used to say that she was 54 when talking about her running off with a younger man, a sports instructor. So the maths may work.
Yes some classic AP here had not seen this, brilliant! (to Brian Ferry re Michael) "he's a geordie like yourself, but you've sort of ironed out the creases...."
