Alan Partridge Superthread - Sponsored by Dettol

we were obliged to attend a safety tutorial for an afternoon.

Well, Edmonds made it clear he didn’t want to be there and spent the first hour chewing gum and snorting whenever I put my hand up to ask a question or make a suggestion or agree with something.

I love the dig at Noel Edmonds having no interest in a Health and Safety Course ^^^

When you scratch below the surface, it's quite a low blow ... Edmonds having been the Late Late Breakfast Show Presenter when a contestant was killed when in training for the live show. Ouch.

Mr.Nice Guy

Alan popped into BBC Radio 4 a few days ago for a brief interview. Here's the clip:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04d76nm

He offers his thoughts on politics, Britishness, broadcasting, as well as the Welsh accent, which I'm sure Welsh Megaman will be interested in.

Give it a ruddy, bloody, good listen. Aha!

Some more classic Partridge I mean Edmonds:

Wealdon District Council, Keith Chegwin as the sidekick, "this is not some entertainment show" in front of an audience waving giant foam hands.

I'll also throw in my favourite line from the classic Jon Ronson feature about DOND:

"I wrote to the cosmos that I would like to meet a woman who'll make me laugh and make me happy," Noel tells me. "I wrote that I'd like a relationship that's not too heavy, with an attractive lady, and I'd like her to walk into my life by the end of September 2005. And she did!"


There is a short silence.


"She wasn't the person who sold her story to the Sunday People back in July, was she?" I ask.


There's another silence.


"Yes," says Noel.

Im seriously crying laughing at some of these, I love how they attach a picture of Alan with his dictafone to them all so that you have to read it in his voice:

I've been listening to the 'Nomad' audio book, voiced by Alan Partridge, it's superb.

Hopefully it was in apropos surround sound. Apropos is latin, to work in Curry's you need to gave a basic grasp of Latin.

Season 2 has some great moments

"Big Yellow Taxi there by Joni Mitchell, a song in which she complains that they 'paved paradise to put up a parking lot' - a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise. Something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song."

Just hearing/seeing that Michael died. Hope it's not true, I'm not trusting the Daily Star quoting Alan partridge twitter account.

Michael (the character) died at the end of the Alpha Papa film - the actor is still alive and well.

Makes much more sense, and shows how out of touch I am with Alans world. Goes to explain why I couldn't find a credible source for it.

Well he jumped off the pier as a distraction, I doubt they killed him...

Yeah, you'd like the film. Classic Alan.

Still, any excuse for a bit of Michael!
