If anyone is wondering, the warning sound is indication that Alan needs to press the unlock button on the key fob to disable the vehicles immobiliser-A common feature of the Rover 200, 400, 800, and 100, mini metro during the 90s
Watching this clip is rather bittersweet. This conversation captures every conversation my parents would have back in the 80s when we'd go for a family day out.
@@mrtwostrike yeah. They're recorded first and shown on a monitor to the audience while they're changing sets and stuff. Fairly standard for a tv recording. Most sitcoms are actually audience recorded it's only stuff like the chase or you've been framed that uses canned laughter
The "Inticators"...."Inticators????" INDICATORS. You can tell that was ad-libbed and it played perfectly to Alan's car obsession, he was never going to let that go.
I love how they actually sat there and played out the whole thing on camera, for 12 minutes, even knowing that %90 of it would never be used, seeing as these episodes were only like 28 minutes long 🤣🤣 Fucking genius
I'm a huge Alan Partridge fan and this is the first time I've seen these Unused Alans. This improvisation has me in stitches. Alan talking about keeping the glove box open drains the battery then Lynn goes on about sweeties, I had no idea what she was talking about then Alan says he is lost haha that could easily have been left in the show.
Coogan never corpses (apart from the 'chocolate scene'. But when Lynn mentions the clock, I swear he has to compose itself, as her ad lib just totally catches him off guard!! Thx for posting
yes! i've been saying this for ages. alan the character laughs at lynne's suggestion, but i swear you can see coogan begin to really laugh for a split second at the recognition of what a brilliant thing it was for her to say
Cant believe this comment is 8 years old and I've never seen these videos but you're right its so ridiculously funny what she says, he definitely composes himself with the moronic comment
Actually, my friend was a dealer for Rover back in the 90s. He said that sound indicated a fault with the immobiliser. Still though. very nice wood laminate !
The loss of that enameled steering wheel badge was the final nail in the coffin for Rover. Lexus better watch out: they've started to cut corners lately too.
The MG Rover Group’s fatal error was getting in to bed with BMW, after giving Honda the cold shoulder. A succession of lacklustre corporate decisions by the Bavarians resulted in frankly criminal asset stripping by the Phoenix Group, only enriching the directors and other actors. What’s left? Bland Chinese badge engineering amidst a confused Midlands post Brexit malaise.
@@gamos6698 Getting into bed with Honda wasn't such a great idea either. Rovers were just Hondas with wood. On the continent a Rover was just seen as a Honda. I remember the early 90s ad slogan ''above all, it's a Rover'' and thinking to myself ''above all, it's a Ronda'' would have been more appropriate.
It's the thought process of AGP that is so good, for instance here when he says "That's unusual....is that a lie?" - how often do taxi's break down?! Superb.
Ideas for names for Alan Partridge unused footage DVD release: "The Lost Partridge Tapes". "Alan's Cutting Room Floor". "Alan Partridge: Tales of the Unedited". No that one's too pretentious. "Alan Partridge Uncut". Vaguely genital. "Alan's Left Overs". "Alan's Odd Bits". No, we're back to genitals again.
I’m sorry, Lynn. I think that is possibly the worst idea I have ever had. I’m going nowhere, Lynn. Quite literally. I’m on the ring road. My third time round. I’ve just been into B&Q for a bag of tungsten-tipped screws. Never gonna use ‘em, never gonna use ‘em.
The balance is at its most delicate and perilous with Lynn. There has always been just enough softness and pathos in Alan for the audience to stay on his side all these years, but the closest they've come to tipping the balance is with Alan's treatment of Lynn. It helps that she is so forgiving.
Imagine sharing with Alan from lands end to John O’groats end in a Toyota Avensis (one of the worlds best drives) As mush as Alan is my hero I wouldn’t want to share that journey, I’d want the airbag to go off on my face.
I'm sorry Lynn, I'm normally patient, but the idea that an alarm would be triggered because the clock isn't right is....is...is... cloud cuckoo land. Alice in Wonderland. That's not going to happen.
Me too lol that's funny! I was sat in my old 2002 Skoda Fabia Estate waiting in a carpark with my Mum! The conversation was just like this scene. My poor conventional lovely Mum has got a son with mild to modern Aspegers she can't understand! We live in different worlds! 🤣
The temperature inside my apple turnover is 1000 Degrees. If I squeeze it, a jet of molten bramley apple is gonna squirt out. Could go your way/could go mine. Either way, one of us is going down.
Oh shit. I've become Partridge. Wifey isnt able to drive, any move by her out place in MY car, gets her some Partridge knowledge. She sounds less interested than Lynne does😂😂
