Part 01 : Alan Partridge on the Richard Bacon Show, BBC Radio 5, 2011 

Jesus, I think I've just heard the funniest line uttered in comedy - "the thing about wheelchair access is it doesn't distinguish between Davros and Stephen Hawking. Mind you from 400 yards I'm not sure I could"... Genius

Richard Bacon take a bow! Brilliant interview

"i've never seen a man eat a cheeseburger with such reverence for the occasion" - classic

'Sometimes a full pint if I slept with my mouth open' hahahahahaha!

"You've gained the base of a cheesecake"

"Mind you, she was no apprentice. She was a bloody magician".

Genius. How Richard Bacon manages not to crack up completely...

CLASSIC PARTRIDGE!

Totally agree, Bacon is fantastic in this interview. Can't believe he managed to stay relatively straight-faced

YES!! It's an extender.

I used to Listen to things like this thinking it was a normal but tense interview.

A genius at work

she was more than a apprentice, shes a bloody magician.

"a low center of gravity" - haha

This is a liquid interview! 💧

She looked a thousand dinars.

He was a very nice customer.

Can I have a pound of your baddest ham

It's because these two have a long history together.

Actually Lynn was a witness to the agreement with Chris Feather

I'm sure at least someone listening to this thinks it's real.

You've gained the base of a cheesecake..... classic !!

Why has this less than 14,000 hits? People are probably more interested in watching clips about Stan the Stabber. This country.

"That's the thing about wheelchair access, it doesn't distinguish between Davros and Steven Hawking. Mind you, from 400 yards, I'm not sure I could."

Basis for a cheesecake, lovely job

"I don't mean 'bad' in a black street culture sort of way. I mean genuinely awful ham."

'he's also a victim in a way'

Genius

"she really did look a thousand dinars" - hahaha

I'm so chilled off its not true.

Alan gets the last laugh on the critic who wouldn't wipe his arse with his first book. LOL

semi *transparent* burka..... "She really did look 1,000 dinars" is a classic too!

Richard, thank you for giving me that small bag of icing sugar in the dressing room, oh and you left a rolled up £20 note in the toilet, strange man.

The 'phew', that would be part of it.

virtuoso

ten on ten

"Sugary fruit paste"

He’s literally reading sentences from the book haha

She really looked a thousand dinars.

Anything that can prevent a dalek can prevent a wheelchair.....

Anyone who counts amongst his friends Eamon Holmes, Sue Cook, Bill Oddie, Nick Knowles, David Dickinson, and many other superstars is ok in my book.

i like richard bacon, but i make you right here

in which case i would like offer a full and frank apology for any offence caused. i realise this must be a traumatic time for people that do not like the term 'blandification' and my actions are to blame. honestly i dont know what i was thinking at the time. i feel terrible, awful. i would like to attend some workshops and meet victims of this word face-to-face so i can be re-educated in the damage i have caused.

@Themsthebreaks1 Because it seems like Richard Bacon can't say anything which might offend anyone even in the slightest, at least thats how it seems in this.

It's not really an interview, the presenter is going along with it.

Textbook.

He should have a coaster stuck to the bottom of his mug

"Kettle Cuisine"

it might help explain why some people think Richard Bacon is boring!! Or maybe he's just always boring...

In the herb garden again?

Richard Bacon gave him quite a hard time with some questions, difficult for him to answer in Partiridge's personality

Into me

Hhaajkhshddh so funny

Bad ham

Lots of quoting from his book here but funny as fuck nonetheless.

He arranged similar girlfriends for six or seven of us.

"One of the drawbacks was that it lacked weelchair access, primarily because it was built in the 12th century"!!!

Smoke dubbies for breakfast 😋 👌

Like Alan, I get irked by volpine intimacy.

And...

High of 12 and low of....8

You've got too laugh when you fall off a sofa

I want to know how much of this is ad libbed.

9:12 Superlative.

"Genuinely awful ham"

U ve gained the base of a cheesecake...

I'm offended by that word.

Needless to say...

'Genuinely Awful Ham'

Liquid audio. It is a shame Bacon is completely out of his depth when talking to Coogan, but mediocrity surrounds us all.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I love Partridge but this interview was clearly scripted along with the Wossy interview

richard bacon doesn't understand comedy, he could have made the interview funnier by playing his role straighter

@arooogaa Hes quite bland, but that's why he does his job well i guess, you kind of have to be indifferent and bland these days with political correctness.

Back when it was funny
