Had to check that wasn’t satire. Imagine if he hurts someone driving in the next six months and the whole reason he’s driving is because he wants to shoot a TV series.Partridge is one of the greatest characters ever. Steve Coogan is a moron though.

I generally like him but that's bellend behaviour.
IT'S TURNING LEFT!
Which bit makes him a Bellend?Driving 6 mph over the limit in a 30 zone or escaping a driving ban due to it affecting his and others livelihoods?I like this bit in the articleCoogan is a noted motoring enthusiast who has owned a succession of cars including Ferraris, Mazdas, Range Rovers and Porsches.No mention of a Mini Metro
Crosby Nick never fails.
No mention of a Mini Metro
Probably because it's called a Rover Metro now.
Remember he's a bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it's necessary. He's not a criminal, you know, but he will, perhaps, travel 36mph in a 30 zone if, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly.
If he’d been banned surely he could have filmed the epic walk described in Nomad?
In all seriousness they could have had written it as Alan having been banned and have Lynn drive him around.Would have still been funny with Alan slating Lynne's driving habits.Also, I had a Partridge moment the other day. Heard Sue Cooke on a really cheap local radio ad and imagined Alan pulling a dismissive face at Sue's rediscovered media attention.

Which series was it when Alan went for a test drive in a Range Rover with a salesman and he ended up arguing with him about performance and specifics etc ?Was typical Alan when it comes to motoring
Is that welcome to the places of my life, in Norfolk (the Wales of the east)?
LOL - Was hoping you'd heard it too NickI love incidental Partridge moments
Have a beauty for you today Pete. We were at Manchester Airport awaiting our flight when a call came over the PA System (not Tannoy, Tannoy is a brand name) asking for a passenger called Mr P. Gabitas to report to the gate. Wasn’t he an old nemesis of Alan’s from his books?
Pete Gabitas was a friend of Alan's who owned a production company (or studios, or something). He's prominent twice in I Partridge - once for appearing with a hot young Ukrainian girlfriend, and then arranging something similar for 7 of his mates (of which Alan's was second-nicest) and then being the subject of Alan's conspiracy theory about being murdered when driving home after drinking 6 pints and half a bottle of wine - Pete's 'sweet spot' for driving.
He also gave Alan his “CPR” doll.

Accidental Partridge momentThe daughters boyfriend was telling me his boss (who's minted) is getting married and hiring Chris Rea to sing at his wedding. Apparently Tom Jones was too expensive Do you mind if I bring my guitar?', "I'd rather you didn't"
Please tell me they're serving mini kievs at the wedding.
What are they?
Haha. Jill who sleeps with Alan Partridge in season 1 is in Holby City.
