[TV] Alan Partridge: This Time

[Is it PotG?]

Several 'spat my wine out' moments, small concern over the repeat of the tech wall issues.

 

[Motogull]

That hit the spot. A few proper laugh out louds.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

What did you think of the Scottish guy? eh? huh?

Very angry, even for a Scot. eh? huh?

Bring me my itablet

 

[Meade's Ball]

For me, more of a classic tonight. Very Madeley.

Not as good IMHO as Episode 2, but still some decent lines:

"Monday is mince day."

"Meat lollies for the car."

"Vitamin-deficient, but humour-proficient...Simon Denton"

"Lynne - think premium! Double Decker, Topic..."

"Sore heads, swollen knuckles, rosy red bumcheeks."

 

[Badger]

Tonight's episode was absolutely TOP NOTCH. The best by far.

- The Scottish guy eh?
- Undermining the woman talking about self driving cars
- The new title sequence
- The guy explaining why his wife was hitting him
- The whole Simon sequence
- Headless chicken in the car park

the list goes on...

Brilliant stuff.

 

[Norman Potting]

And I forgot to watch, and it isn't yet live on iPlayer

 

[Pavilionaire]

Sublime tonight, 10 on 10, i haven't seen anything as funny as that in a long while.

 

[WildWood]

“Morrisey”

 

[The Clamp]

The closing minutes of episode 2 were some of AP's finest moments. It came close tonight. Some very funny stuff.

 

[Easy 10]

Absolutely sublime tonight, the best episode by a mile. Schoolboy Alan is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen

Just so many casually brilliant LOL moments. Even the bit where he squats down at the start of the report at his old school, you hear his bones go, and there's a brief passing moment of unacknowledged suppressed agony on his face.

"I'd like to tickle your pink..."

I've got to watch that one again. There is just SO much going on. Pure brilliance.

think I'm missing something

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Just caught up with last night's episode. The old Alan is slowly getting back in his groove. Some proper laughs in there as well as real awkwardness between presenters.

Brilliant

 

[blue-shifted]

It was great, and I think I only noticed about half the funny bits. Will re-watch.

Oh but love the bit where Simon did the same thing on the screen 3 times and failed each time. Seemingly thought it would work each new time he did it.

Episode three was brilliant. Now he's got the gig full-time it's like old Alan has been unleashed. The whole school sequence was amazing, especially the small things such as the "split-screen" bit with him behind a pillar not working properly and when he slid down the railings. Genius stuff.

 

[Jovis]

Back on top, top form. I had to pause the tv after the sequence with Alan as a schoolboy, the funniest thing I have seen in a long while.

 

[Albion Prem]

As an aside , that Clunes travesty was absolutely appalling. There were some really odd lines in there too. Plus it took me ages to figure out why they called each other mate. It was only the other week I was singing Clune's praises over his performance in the superb Manhunt. I also like him in Doc Martin. How can he have got it so wrong? Mind you , he made the terrible and pointless remake of Reggie Perrin so he clearly has trouble discerning good scripts from bad. Either that or he's got one helluva mortgage that needs paying.

I thought that playing a driving instructor was made for Clunes,however very disappointed with the show

 

[Albion Prem]

Feels way too contrived for me. The great thing about AP in the past was that always felt like what you were watching could actually be real, in some sort of horrific way. This just feels so scripted and over-written that the original idea is lost and the gags are signposted miles in advance.

Some good moments but still feels like a pilot to me.

Big fan of Partridge so was looking forward to the program but a big let down,have cancelled series link
