Alan Partridge - Nomad

[The Clamp]

The bit in MMM, series one, possibly episode 1, where Tim Key is looking through the paper for the article about the postman, who then crops up on the news report...

Utter genius.

"Inception. Inception. Inception"

and lest we forget...


"Don't you ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER, EVER. EVER EVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, do that to me again"

Just thinking of t creases me up.

Their relationship is fascinating. He really treats him like the son he never had/doesn't want to see him.

Yes, he thought Sidekick Simon would be his ticket to tap into the youth listeners and instead SS goes on to be successful in his own right. then the you ng lady that replaces him, Alan falls for and she also leaves him to go travelling with her boyfriend. Funny but rather sad. If he wasn't such a plum you'd feel desperately sad for him.

My concern is...how much lower can he get than North Norfolk Digital? Can't held but think another Dundee-sized breakdown might be on the cards sometime in the near future...

and the other 8?

Since you ask:

3. "If you see a lovely field with a family having a picnic, and a nice pond in it, you fill in the pond with concrete, you plough the family into the soil, you blow up the tree, and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife who is also your brother."
4. “I’m 47; my girlfriend’s 33. she’s 14 years younger than me. Back of the net!”
5. "Thrikerrr!"
6. "Yes, it's an extender!"
7. "Keep it light love. Have a mince. Ladies and gentlemen, the bellringers of Norwich Cathedral!"
8. "Monkey tennis?"
9 "The boys are back in the barracks!"
10."Smell my cheese, you mother!"

Can he play left back?

It will be interesting to watch if they get it right. I think the odd one off is good for the moment. Scissored Isle etc.

For me, comedy doesn't get nearer to perfection than I'm Alan Partridge S1 & 2. I can watch them again and again. Esp S1.

I know it's a bit long to be a memorable quote, but the following was always one of my favourite bits;

These awards are about people like Susan Cresswell. Susan is braver than ten firemen, or a dozen policemen. Four years ago, Susan lost her hand in a cake-cutting machine. She managed to walk 400 yards, holding her hand in her other hand, where she hailed a taxi. One can only imagine what that must have looked like. The quick thinking taxi driver drove her to a newsagent, wher the hand was packed in Soleros, Magnums, Mini Milks and a Feast. After six hours of surgery, the hand was sown back on. Sadly, it didn’t work, so off it came again. But she still had one good hand, and she was damned if anyone was going to take that off her. No one was suggesting they were going to do that. Anyway, the point is, four years later, she is credit controller at Cromwell Certificated Bailiffs. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big hand… Applaud! Applaud like mad for Susan Cresswell.

I read recently that the reason for such a glut of Partridge in recent years is that, until recently, SG was frustrated at his being typecast as AP and not taken seriously as a "proper" actor.

When Philomena and his performance in it were recognised and critically rated as largely positive, he was then happy to get on with more AP.

Makes sense. I loved him in the two The Trip series/films. Little glimpses of AP shine through in his personality. He himself admits Alan is really a kind of uncesnored version of himself, albeit not as woefully out of touch as AP.

Two of my Top 10 favourite ever Partridge quotes were in MMM:

1. "We have a caller on the line who fears he may be a gay, he's married so we'll only refer to him by his christian name. This is Domingo from Little Oakley...."

2. Referring to Dave Clifton's dockside pleasuring of tramps as "some sort of diabolical soup kitchen".

Number 1 was IAP no?

"I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said "how do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say "go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny"? No. You'd say 'You look nice... John'"

"Don't you ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER, EVER. EVER EVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, do that to me again"

This. That'll be the one where he boasts on air that he's in the upper tax bracket, SS and the back room staff tell him the tax office heard it and want a word, he then goes back on air to say he earns a quarter of what he said he did, and they're all seen creasing up laughing at him.

That's the one. He loses his shit. Comedy perfection.

You, sir, are correct. Although, on reflection, maybe "If you get it right, the neck opens up like a Muppet’s mouth” might make it into the Top 10 after all, along with Partridge's retort to a distressed child caller "“You rejoin us on Mid Morning Matters, Tommy Gaskell survival expert still with us, and on line 2 we have Sophie. Sophie, what’s your tongue twister?” “Did that man hurt the muppets?,” “No love he didn’t hurt any muppets, he simply dispatched some terrorists from a radicalised RSPB in Wookey Hole. It was simply when he slit the throats of the bad people they resembled the mouths of muppets.”

Parents of young children, could you make sure your 6 year old's are at least reasonably media savvy before allowing them to take part in the phone in.

THAT is perhaps my favourite mmm episode.

And did they get better?

 

[The Clamp]

The IAP episode where he gets the young chap of about 6 thrown out of the retaurant on "the old denim rule"

What is Alan firing his friend's air rifle into?
"The future?"
"Are you on an E!?"
