Alan Partridge

The checkout scene from Scissored Isle is absolute genius.

That’s not a steal of Paul Sinha’s joke is it? The one where his response is “what did you just call me?”

I don’t know Paul Sinha well enough so afraid I couldn’t say!

love how the uploader’s whatsapp messages pop up near the end and they thought ‘ah well, better upload it anyway’

I like how their wife is saved in their phone as “my wife”

Well a) I can’t view the clip Richie posted hence my question and b) the joke is as simple as the thing you quoted followed by the thing I quoted.

His voice really grates me in the new ones, i’m not sure if it’s just age or whether he’s leaning into the speaking style. Possibly i’m an ageist

Then the answer is ‘no, it isn’t a steal of a Paul Sinha joke, to the best of my knowledge’

Like I said before, just sounds a bit wrong.

What has nothing to do with what?

Just for clarity I’m referring to his radio trail where he bangs on about the Dimblebys etc. Both the monologue and the way he acts it seem un-Partridgey to me.

Just remembered I met Alan Partridge

Best day of my life

Apparently he showed up to all the book signings in the cock piss partridge car

yep I heard it was parked outside but I missed it.

It was brilliant standing in line, was like getting a free bespoke episode. Only had a short chat with him but it was good.

Me: Could you make it out to Jimmy my step-dad please.
Alan: Step-dad? Is he a shit?

this photo is made even more magnificent by the fact that he’s not looking at the camera

Got another one where he’s posing for the photo but I look even more like a diseased dinosaur so I binned it. This one fits his character.

Just noticed the gifts of Terry’s and toblerones on the table
