(apologies to non-Englishers) Alan Partridge - the new Series. What did you think?

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 11 November 2002 22:14 (twenty-three years ago)

"Back of the net!"

not bad so far...

― michael (michael), Monday, 11 November 2002 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Very good indeed in parts, but seemed a little knackered after six weeks of The Office.

Two of the best moments already mentioned on this thread, btw.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 11 November 2002 22:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Funniest line falls to Lynn: "Eight minutes".

A couple of clunky moments and *oh boy*, are the comedy web-geeks gonna hate it, but I thought it was pretty good. Loved the overweight Alan and the "he never sees the kid" perfect moment of off-the-cuff crassness. And there's never enough Amelia Bullmore on telly.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 11 November 2002 22:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I actually felt exhausted from laughing too much during that. The Clarkson pisstakery was just too much. A stone cold classic already.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 11 November 2002 22:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Mostly very good, and I'm looking forward to the game show.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 11 November 2002 23:26 (twenty-three years ago)

hmmm... I only caught the last five or so minutes of tonights episode so i don't know too much. He seems to be a lot more confident these days and a lot less "Mr. Bean"-y - Which i'm not so sure is a good thing. Also my personal opinion is that laugh-tracks should be banned. They're horribly tacky and when I watch TV late at night with the volume low the laughter drowns out half the jokes. If something's funny - I'll laugh. I don't need some dude with a cacklebox telling me when all the jokes are.

― dog latin, Monday, 11 November 2002 23:55 (twenty-three years ago)

i though the opening lord of the flies/rings joke was great...

― robin (robin), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's the best thing on telly, but it's kind of tired and pointless, in a way. I don't see what they can do now that's original. Still, I'm not complaining. Oh, wait, I am.

Aside from that, I love the fact that Alan wears Lynx Africa, the same as me. 'You drove to Dundee in bare feet'. Back of the net indeed.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh and Mark - why are you apologising to me?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah the canned laughter was a miserable addition. Especially since reading in Chuck Palahniuk's last book that (American) laughter tracks were mostly recorded 50 years ago, meaning that a lot of the people you hear on them are now DEAD. I can't stop thinking about that now. But otherwise, GREAT. Lynn's facial expressions now rival Tim's from The Office in Speaking Volumes.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 10:07 (twenty-three years ago)

damn, forgot this.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 10:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Has he always been quite so cruel to Lynn? I'm not sure what the point of that was.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 10:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Lynns facial expressions = some of the best touches in the whole show.

I'd forgotten about the game show, that could be fantastic.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 11:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Everyone was talking about the laugh track beforehand, but I honestly didn't notice it until towards the end of the programme I was laughing so much. I think laugh tracks sound more intrusive the lamer the comedy.

Definitely up to the standards of the last series.

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 11:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Alan seems to be crueller to Lynn when he perceives that things are going well for him. When he is down (ie. towards the end of the last series) he appreciates her more. (Though I'm not sure I could bear this out with examples, come to think of it.)

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 12:56 (twenty-three years ago)

i did laugh -- which i can't say for the Reece Shearsmith medic thing before it. the last AP series was about his slow deterioration, and now they're showing him getting more and more confident. i hope it doesn't all get pulled away from under him, but i suspect that's what they'll do in the last ep anyway.

People unfairly (to my mind) said that the Office owed a lot to AP, when I saw very little in common other than them both being very good and having central "monster" characters (something common to a lot of british comedy). But in the wake of Office II, there is a danger that this new cocky AP making gauche "with it" comments and heading for a humilitaing fall is going to be compared back to Brent. Like I say, I hope this doesn't happen.

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:29 (twenty-three years ago)

i enjoyed it, but felt it rushed. i read somewhere there was about an hour's worth of footage filmed which would explain a lot of this. probably should have been brave and had one episode with the videos (i loved "titznade zoo") and one with the school speech. it seemed to panic a bit and desperate to work immediately as opposed to the last series which kind of developed organically over the weeks. i just hope they can match an episode like "basic alan" of the last series which i thought the best study of boredom in comedy since "hancock alone/ the bedsitter"...

― chris browning (commonswings), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:31 (twenty-three years ago)

study of boredom: i'm not an avid fan of One Foot in the Grave, but I have caught on my random viewings quite a lot of "boredom" "doing nothing" episodes -- there was one set in a waiting room. (ha ha DYS.) one in a car. another i think just in the bedroom.

mmm... Seinfeld, /The Chinese Restaurant/

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Are they really laughter tracks though? There's certainly a live studio audience for the filming of the likes of IAP (they were giving the tickets away about six months ago for recording) - and you can spot the moments when Coogan has to pause for the chuckling to die away. I wouldn't be surprised if the taped audience reaction has been embellished in some way though, but it's hardly M*A*S*H (that one series).

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd be very surprised if it isn't entirely authentic laughter, having worked in TV comedy. While it's obviously not all filmed on a set, it's not hard to get an audience into a sudio, give them a few beers and playback the ep on a plasma screen...

Sorry. Britishers. And anyone else who watched it last night.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 15:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Cookie's comments are somewhat persuasive. I am minded to try to be favourable: it's so predictable and dreary to be disappointed, in a case like this.

Still: I think the problem is that since 1997, we are ALL Alan Partridge. So this is "watching Steve Coogan be Alan Partridge" rather than "watching Steady Mike be Alan Partridge", or even "listening to the Dirty Vicar's pals be Alan Partridge". Is Coogan better at it than them? Well -- he's worked longer on the script. I think.

Taking Sides: Episode 1 vs Episode 2

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 19 November 2002 13:17 (twenty-three years ago)

opening gag about a funny story that finishes too
quickly thus leaving alan with a minute exactly
of awkward laughter was goldren age stuff, then
for 25 minutes - no laughs at all.
so much sit. and v little com. - what was all that
with a table and torches about ? it redeemed itself
with the speech bit. see when it's based on coogan's
abillities as an actor/comic performer it's good, but all that
...*other shite* i mean who cares ?

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 19 November 2002 14:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I found myself laughing at one section - was it Partridge's emetic presentation after losing a pint of blood? - and then thinking, why are you laughing? It's not that funny, is it?

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 19 November 2002 14:20 (twenty-three years ago)

The geordie guy is AWFUL.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 15:27 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, they're adding too many other factors which are just getting in the way. none of the "new" characters seem to work at all and the speech certainly wasn't a patch on david brent's presentation routine.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 19 November 2002 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

disappointing in a most predictable way. why did they bother?

― michael wells (michael w.), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 11:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Was the guy in the petrol station the same bloke who used to work at the Travel Tavern?

Yes.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 12:08 (twenty-three years ago)

This week'e episode a bit of an improvement, no?

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 26 November 2002 08:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I didn't think so. Well, I laughed a lot less anyway and I was for some reason just bored by replica Alan/the 'sex people'. But I did like the cup of beans/savoury flake bit - Michael is improving as a character I think.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 09:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought last night's episode was as good as any of the old ones.

"No Lynn, these are sex people!"

I like the Geordie guy.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 10:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Yet again though its a compare and comtrast the Office and Partridge wrt the girl in the wheelchair. AP is sometimes too calculating, as a comedy grotesque he works in the situationd we understand (the radio station, with Lynn), but the rest of the show seems to make him just jump through hoops.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 11:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd like to see a whole episode where he just does his radio show; those sequences are still by far the funniest - at their best, nearly as good as Peter Cook's "Sven the fisherman" LBC phone-ins.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 26 November 2002 12:22 (twenty-three years ago)

A whole half-hour devoted to the quiz show would be amazing. I'm really looking forward to Skirmish now, and I suspect they're keeping the best bit under wraps till later.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 11:09 (twenty-three years ago)

"i hope it doesn't all get pulled away from under him, but i suspect that's what they'll do in the last ep anyway."

That house is never going to get finished.

Michael is great.

― tigerclawskank, Wednesday, 27 November 2002 11:41 (twenty-three years ago)

"Classic intercourse!" was a wonderful line. And the bit where he says "Worth of boast worlds" and tries to justify it. And the bit where Michael wouldn't let him in was great too, and I think it suggests there are plot developments to come there.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 13:58 (twenty-three years ago)

People seem to be searching for cherishable catchphrases in this (or, perhaps, Baynham, Ianucci and Coogan have rather cynically chucked a load in - some good, some bad - and you just can't help noticing; I'm reminded of the last Blackadder series, when an overloaded simile turned up every five minutes); for me the best Partridge exchanges are when he's completely panicked, or fumblingly defensive, or it's just absurd excess (calling out, again and again and AGAIN, to the kitchens guy: best moment of the series so far; or the frightened child dialogue with Lynn after the spike incident)

Maybe I'm just a sad comedy geek, but something's a success if I can imagine the writers wetting themselves over their own script - and I can hear Peter Baynham practically choking, like he used to on Morris' R1 show, as he relates his idea (I don't know why I assume it was his) for Alan turning up at Michael's house... cup of beans, TV show on the Triads, burly man exits wordlessly, peering out through frosted glass. Just terrific.

It's rich stuff and it grows in the memory.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

The fact that Mike likes it is encouraging. Maybe it's good after all.

My reaction has been sth like "this is funny - cor, this is a good comedy programme - I bet that not much else around is as good as this", vs "it's I'm Alan Partridge - it has impossible standards to match - it can't succeed". I don't know how the balance should or will work out.

But I guess what I keep coming back to is that the canonization of earlier Partridge is what makes it hard for this series, and is maybe stopping me seeing the true worth of this series, which may be considerable.

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 27 November 2002 21:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you really been saying "cor", the Pinefox? I do hope so - it's made me quite happy.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 22:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I always say it, Martin. And happiness is good.

Last night: possibly the funniest - but also the most extreme and exaggerated... going too far into farce by the end?

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 3 December 2002 16:22 (twenty-three years ago)

"Abso-bloody-exactly!"

"Butter my arse!"

― dwh (dwh), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 16:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not sure the kind of awkward rude comments stuff really works anymore. I mean the episode a few weeks ago where he said "you better put a hat hard on, oops I mean, a hat hard on, oh I said it again". It just isn't really that funny, it was sort of amusing when he put his foot in it with the "celebs" on his chat show.

Same goes for last night's "he's talking about his cock". I mean I don't think this sort of thing has worked this series and thus it's just a man saying rude words.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

"aboot"

― dwh (dwh), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 16:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I agree with Pinefox -- this gets better and better.

― alext (alext), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 17:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought last night's was the worst ever. There are no straight characters in the programme. Everyone's a loon. It doesn't work.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Tuesday, 3 December 2002 17:34 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, surely time for yet more revisionism. Last night's was the best yet. Wasn't it?

Worst bit, maybe: the 'fake Bono' was somehow rather 'trad sit-com' in a bad way - it felt a bit like, say, Only F&H. Yet it still had some comic worth.

Best bit, maybe: Partridge's conversation with his builder, re. smoking and cancer. "... and if you *have* got cancer, then... take the rest of the day off!"

Glan-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang,
Glang-a-lang...
Lang-a-lang-a-lang
Nobody does it better...
And I'm a naked woman, in silhouette, with a gun, spinning round.
Makes me feel sad for the rest. Nobody does it...
Ooh, bit of nipple!
...quiet as good as you, baby you're the best.
Da-da-di-da-der...
And now a really big bounce, right over and I land on my feet.
Di-da-der-di-der...
I wasn't looking, and somehow you found me,
Ooh, bit of bush!
I tried to hide from you love life,
And then a woman swinging on a Luger, a giant Luger. Ooh, look at that!
like heaven above me...
And now another naked woman walking along the top of a gun. Completely billy bollocks!
...the spy who loved me, is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.
And then one more big swing from a woman, legs apart. Oh what was that? Too late!
Nobody does it half as good as you, baby you're the best.

No way! You'd have thought he'd have been struck off for the whole 'synchronised cocks' incident.

Funnily enough I did have this on last night, briefly and in sound only (it's complicated), and I was reminded of June Brown's great appearance in a very similar role/situation in Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday when Peter Finch was the doctor. And Cann and Finch share some qualities, don't they? Hmmm. Very slightly interesting.

old news for some of you, i know, but radio7 are repeating "On The Hour" on Mondays and it's available via their listen-again stuff here.

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

and the radio1 very-early-in-the-morning comedy slot i mentioned somewhere is also available online here and is funny enough. this week they did a mashup using the acappella bit from a Shadows track and the instrumental bits of a Flying Pickets record. ok, you had to be there.

― I'VE GOT YER KIDS DAN (blueski), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Been watching 'The Day Today' again on DVD and I think Alan might be the best bit of all.

'Like cattle in a mad way... but cattle on bikes.'

And all the awkward cruel handovers from Morris to him. Which were even funnier on 'On The Hour' maybe.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

how is the DVD design atrocious steve?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

it takes too long to select anything because they insist on triggering video transitions between every option on the main menu. further in you have to watch sequences of around 5-10 seconds before being able to pick anything.

DVD design is currently in the same position web design was in 1999/2000 i.e. form over function, flashy crap equating obstacles rather than entertaining tangents.

the Peep Show first series DVD interface is much better designed.

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I could hardly get any of the extras on the Day Today DVDs to work at all, or the scene selection. It seemed like it wasn't finished - only one of the options would come up or they'd be there and you couldn't select, and the internal structure was baffling anyway. Very frustrating.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

a whole ep of 'tdt' is fucked up because of the lame signalling split screen option thing. every edit is a bit 'off'.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

bad design. it would be fine if they just had Alan dancing and the options all clear to see below. i may become the Jakob Nielsen of DVD design at this rate...

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

anything with 'stings' between menu and item is for shit. 'spaced' is a real offender. i don't want to hear the same 'skip to the end' remark 500 times much. 'zoolander' has this problem but makes up for it by having a zoolander narration over the menu.
