I remember a few years back I had an interview in university of East Anglia (Alan's Alma mater, which I didn't know at the time), and the day I arrived I immediately went into the city centre to explore if the following was true:

Jill, what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich town centre? I’ll be honest I’m dead against it. People forget that traders need access to Diiiixons! They do say it'll help people in wheeeeelchairs!

I didn't get the job. Not sure I was able to take Norwich seriously enough.

Apart from seeing the odd bit on Youtube my only viewing of Coogan's work as Partridge was the feature film in the last couple of years.

A question for veterans of his work - am I better off starting with Knowing Me Knowing You and then viewing I'm Alan Partridge?

Does it matter if I view the Partridge shows in chronological order?

I never took to Knowing Me, Knowing You, I thought it was fairly ****e in truth.

I'm Alan Partridge is up there with my favourite TV shows though, probably know it word for word, every episode a masterpiece.

Thanks.

I think I'll jump straight to I'm Alan Patridge. It seems to be the show that Coogan built his reputation on.

Hard to believe I'm Alan Patridge is 20 years old.

You could try listening to the radio shows that appeared on BBC Radio 4. They were well received and led to the TV series. This one is one of my favourites:

The character is still in its infancy here and has yet to grow into the force it would later become. A bit like Paul McCartney in his Beatles phase before he went on to Wings.

A Beatles and Wings analogy isn't very appropriate. You should try to use one that features Brit Pop bands like Def Leppard or UB40.

Not a lot of detail, but Alan will return to BBC2, his spiritual televisual home, in 2018 in a Sitcom

https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/news/2723/partridges_pro_brexit_bbc_return/

Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with the pro-Remain newspaper The New European, Coogan revealed that Partridge's return would be explained amidst the UK's vote to withdraw from the European Union.

To be broadcast on BBC Two in Spring 2018, the new sitcom will be based on a return to the BBC for Alan Partridge, re-hired by the corporation as a pro-Brexit voice.

Lovely Stuff.

Just came into the forum to post because im watching an episode of "im alan partridge" now and couldnt stop laughing at his attempt to woo Jill...

"Listen. Just to clear something up. You know when you make those risqué comments, are you just flirting in that sort of crude way that middle-aged divorcees do. Or do you genuinely like me, sex-wise?" :pac:

Just remind Chris that it's not that kind of a party, and to leave his vegetarian wife at home.
