Topic: Alan Partridge - including Alpha Papa

[DrTobiasFunke]

Don't forget to clean the mouth. An instant catchphrase.

Also liked how he forced Simon to ask out the girl from the office and was then surprised (and saddened) when she said yes. That and the drawing of Michael last week give you a real glimpse into his lonely private life.

[Crosby Nick]

Pete Gabitas - think he got several name checks in I, Partridge didn’t he?!

[Djimothy]

The ending.

 

[Rob Dylan]

"Who da hell is dat?"

"I was on my honeymoon, and I decided to spend the week as an extra..."

Alan's look of sadness when he realises he might be losing Simon...

[Ray K]

‘Come out ye Black and Tans’ and ‘the men behind the wire’ on the BBC before the 10 o’clock news. Holy fuck!

“Like an ad for the IRA” 

I'm still not the better of it. Double O feckin' bollocks.

Thought it wasn't great until the CPR thing - the Monty Don thing was pretty predictable, but that sex doll and Martin was an unbelievably funny 1-2 finish.

The rebel songs at the end. It was just about top drawer, that episode.

And his webcam to the Phillipines. And his corsets.

And this, right enough

"I was on my honeymoon, and I decided to spend the week as an extra..."

Died in a car crash. People blame the drink, but he was at his 'sweet spot' for driving.

[Riquende]

Every episode seems to have a bit that drags, and this week it was the Monty Don bit. I would have thought Alan would try to cram a lot more of his own product placements into it but it was fairly subtle, and it detracts from the premise of 'This Time' as I can't accept such a show would air that segment as it turned out.

But yeah, lots of great little lines throughout, and the last 5 minutes were genius.

The Phillipines line and subsequent attempt at a recovery when he realised it sounded dodgy was hilarious. Love the subtle bits.

Agreed that the Monty Don bit wasn’t as good but did chuckle every time it showed that couple really going for it in the hotel bar over Monty’s shoulder.

[royhendo]

I liked the Monty bit but then I love Monty Boy.

I was expecting gardening dungarees to come back into play.

[meady1981]

I take it all back. The first episode was shite but the last two Ive (laughter) cried at my desk at work.

[Dench57]

Alan's face when the racist lady says "negro" 




Laughed out loud at "come out ye Black n Tans!", that segment was very good. Double O feckin bollocks

[Crosby Nick]

The time delay stuff was funny too. The fact when Jenny spoke they were perfectly in syncy so was she just doing it to piss him off?!

Simon bits seemed better this week too.

Think they’ve got progressively better each week.

It was the way he grabbed her arm. I couldn't stop laughing!

[Crosby Nick]

I'm convinced Simon's bits were written to be deliberately shit to start with. It seems so in line with how new presenters cope with being in front of the cameras.

Probably, he’s getting to grips with his new technology and a bit more confident. Love his little looks to Alan as he’s working his way through the menu screens like a son looking to his dad for praise (I might be reading too much into it ).

[Riquende]

That's exactly right Nick.

I love the reporter bits. I was thinking the time delay confusion was a really weak gag compared to the first two exchanges but when she started talking to Jenny normally I 'got' it and it looked like it was her revenge for him getting the better of her last week.

[mikeb58]

Once you realized he kept his CPR dummy in the attic, you knew it'd be dodgy but fuck me that was hilarious!

They couldn't have chosen or dressed the dummy up any better, time delay sketch was funny too, as was the rude old racist woman. The look a like and his IRA sing a long at the end was pure comedy class on a different level.

[gerrardisgod]

I initially thought it was the same dummy he smacked last week, until I saw the mammary glands.

The face on it

Alan took a *long* look at her chest before starting the compressions.

Queen & CPR doll was the highlight. Utterly brilliant.

[Fitzy.]

Loved that last night - best yet I think.

IRA rebel songs were genius!

"manikins"? 

[Crosby Nick]

"manikins"? 

Isn’t that what Borat wore?

I keep watching the ending over and over, absoluhilariois.

[Dench57]

Also loved the tiny 'thin ice/shaky ground' bit
Daniel Craig's disapproval when the rebel songs started
"get out the fucking way" at the start and "where's my fucking water" shows Alan becoming his old, hubristic self

Absolutely creased me did that bit.  My head went.

Pissed myself at both of them!

[sinnermichael]

I'm also fixated by his co-host if I'm honest.

[Peabee]

He’s becoming more and more himself with each episode. Haha.

[Something Worse]

That's exactly right Nick.

Their battle is the highlight for me, hope he wins next week!

You might have a chance. I was told she was separated.

[mikeb58]

If you know your  CPR by the way you really should do the compressions to the tune and rate of 'staying alive', that's the way I was taught it.

And although Partridge was clearly enjoying the rescue breaths, just compression is the recommended method of CPR these days.

I was too. Both are a smidge too fast. Beyoncé's crazy in love is bang on time;)

Loved the Sligo partridge. He could have his own show.

[Thush]

That was amazing last night. Loved seeing Alan give mouth-to-mouth on Pete Gabbitas's sex doll.

"Don't forget to clean the mouth"

[meady1981]

I can't stop singing that IRA song.
Which isn't ideal.

[Crosby Nick]

I can't stop singing that IRA song.

Both very catchy I have to say. Mighty.

[FlashGordon]

Can't say I ever thought I'd hear those two songs being sung on the BBC 

Brilliant TV.

[So… Howard Philips]

I can't stop singing that IRA song.
Which isn't ideal.

Certainly not ideal if you live in East Belfast.
