Author Topic: Alan Partridge - including Alpha Papa (Read 556902 times)

Going to Manchester in a couple of weeks, seen mixed reviews so far. A friend's brother said the first half was brilliant but the seciond half not so good, but I've also seen people say the second half is the best so who knows! Let us know what you think!

Will do, the wife is going as well who has hardly watched any so i bet our views are very different

Certainly I thought the second half was better than the first with the introduction of a certain character.

Overall was good in spots but wouldn't jump to buy the DVD.

Thought that was quality, bit of a lull before the break, lovely little video in the break

and an excellent second half.

Quite simply, in the words of Shakin' Stevens, 'lovely stuff.'

Yeah I enjoyed it too. Couple of misses but on the whole, very good

Nice read that haha. Interesting to see how aware Steven is of how people perceive him in real life.

I went to see it last night in Manchester....so was in fairly high spirits

I don't think it translates to a big live stadium show or live show or stage show...The best thing about Alan Partridge is the writing and cast of characters around him that he can interact with (Simon, Lynn, Michael, Dan, Susan etc) and the on stage cast ham'd it up far too much (it was like a panto at one stage_. There an interesting use of video that was overused

If you have ever seen the live Pauline/Paul Calf/Duncan Thicket thing he did years ago...it was pretty much that.....for 2 hours but just as Alan Partridge

Went on Friday, was crying laughing at some bits, thought the first half was better than the second but loved the whole thing basically. Back of the net.

Alan Partridge interviewing Steve Coogan in the guardian is funny.

Partridge’s contempt for a Coogan is not very well hidden

Still wish he'd made a second series of Coogans Run.

Just had an "important update" about tomorrow's show in Edinburgh. I thought it was going to be cancelled as Coogan has been unwell this week, but nope. Turns out that the venue (the Playhouse) has decided not to accept e-tickets on mobile phones and are asking everybody to print their ticket from the website.

We're fine, but seriously. With 24 hours notice, not everyone is going to have access to a printer to sort this out!

And presumably, we'll get there and find some door staff with a QR code reader that would scan either...

I have mobile tickets for the O2 next week and can’t go. There’s no option to resell or transfer the tickets and I haven’t got the ‘physical’ mobile ticket. Am I going to have any chance of selling them on when I do get them through on my phone does anyone know?

Second series of From The Oasthouse coming in September.

Anyone on here want to go to the O2 tonight? Or know anyone that does? Have 3 tickets available, and the best bit is you don’t have to sit with me.

Nice little podcast with Tim Key on Test Match Special. You don’t have to like cricket to enjoy it, plenty of Partridge chat early on in there!

I have a problem with kids meeting in service station car parks to go to a secret rave. You're getting in people's way. Service stations provide essential haven for the weary traveller. Whether it's families that need to get out and stretch their legs or get a snack, mum wants a magazine, busy salesmen rushing in to grab a coffee or just another lorry driver popping into the toilets for a wank, service stations are a vital cog in our transport infrastructure.

Is it wrong that last bit made me think of RAWK’s very own Rob.

It’s brilliant, that goes without saying...and it goes without saying that it goes without saying, and i’m saying it, but I needn’t because it... It goes without me doing that

Coogan's delivery is fantastic here. The way he articulates the 'wank' line is so good.

Do you know, if King Arthur had had an extender on his table…

It’d have been a different story, really, wouldn’t it?

Well it wouldn’t have been round!
