Drove to the game on Saturday and was great seeing some of the town names on signposts that Alan refers to in Mid Morning Matters.

By passed Swaffham on the way which was fun, as Alan spent a great deal of his young life walking alone in the woods near Swaffham. There he practised bird calls.

My missus came along for the ride and i got a few sneaky Partridge lines in.

her: Does Norwich have a University?
me: Not sure but East Anglia Polytechnic is superb I hear

Upon seeing a sign for Little Oakley. "Let's go and visit my mate Domingo"

We stopped in the Holiday Inn but I informed her the Travel Tavern was fully booked up.

Norwich is great fun

I had to go to a funeral in that neck of the woods a couple of years ago (no Castrol jacket) and was picked up by a fellow Partridge afficiniado. We did chuckle as we saw a sign for Longstanton but didn’t have time to check out the spice museum.

from 'Nomad'

Father would have taken one look at my loose, long hair, flared denim trousers and pepper-pot brogues, and thought, "Who the Hell is this bighaired poof?"

I'd fantasise about thumping him in the tummy or set fire to an air-fix Messerschmidt and put it behind his bedroom door so he'd be intoxicated by the burning plastic

Nomad is the best thing he’s ever done.

I wish Nomad was the film, to be honest - it would be amazing! The actual film is good but a step below the likes of Mid Morning Matters (the best Partidge thing!) and the books IMO

I've been rewatching This Time... on iPlayer this week and /controversial view, but I think it's as good as anything he's ever done. There's so much that should go down as classic Partridge - his face being superimposed onto a small child's then showing the viewer the correct way to dish our corporal punishment, the whole John Baskell scandal, Alan becoming more and more camp during the fashion segment, anything with Sidekick Simon.

It might be because I was quite late to the latch onto Partridge but it's as funny as some of the stuff in I'm Alan Partridge series 1.

Will have to watch them all again. As with all Partridge I imagine they all get better with repeated viewings.

The Irish lookalike (Martin Brennan?) was one of the funniest 5 minutes I’ve seen in years. Double 0 feckin’ bollocks.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #4342 on:** April 4, 2020, 08:39:40 pm »

Didn’t know it was on iPlayer, nice one. Been watching on Dailymotion on my phone

There been any info on his podcast? Thought it was meant to release last month, be perfect having it now.

I saw the BBC are showing Alan talking about his Bond marathon as a kind of public service broadcast about the importance of having a routine at the moment. Lovely stuff!

Inspred me to dig out the DVD and watch the full episode last night, funnily enough. So many great lines:

"I love you...in a way"
"Do you chat to other men, Michael?"
and the whole "Stop getting Bond wrong", leading into his entire description of the opening scene of The Spy Who Loved Me

Plus Partridge destroying his cereals, which is one of Coogan's funniest physical comedy moments.

Yep to both books! Though the Nomad one seems worse quality despite being purchased from Audible

Both stellar though. Coogan reading these books makes them even better!
