    Alan Partridge is a bit of a challenge for non Brits to get. The character is so well crafted, probably the most fully formed character ever created in British comedy. So much so that Steve Coogan can easily improvise in character, he has written autobiographies of Alan partridge as Alan Partridge. The whole personality and history of this character is fully mapped out and realised. The whole character is deeply embedded in the culture and era of British TV and radio of the 1980's. He makes so many references to this and there are so many nuances to his insecurities, his prejudices, his narcissm and what he values as man of a certain age, generation and class, from a certain place and culture that it would be difficult for anyone not familiar with all of that to get or really find funny. Of course there is some universal humour in it too but by and large it is incredibly niche. However I think if you watch both seasons as well as the other things he has done like, knowing me, knowing you, mid morning matters and this time, you will start to get some idea of why he is such a funny and cleverly written character.

    This is the show that led to things like The Office. Despite the sets with four walls, they still filmed it in front of a live studio audience due to how comedy like this tended to be done (The audience had to watch on monitors, but it was done live). A few years later laugh tracks weren't cool anymore, but this was the transition period. Also worth mentioning this is a favourite show of the likes of Mathew Perry and Ben Stiller.

      TBF, it wasn't likely to be renewed anyway, with the terrible ratings, amateurish - even lackadaisical - production and expense (particularly of the Christmas special, which they were obliged to go through with even after the untimely death of Forbes McAllister, who was also the only guest Alan managed to ask a genuinely insightful question) of the show.

    Here for this all the way. Alan Partridge is up there with the greatest of all time. There are some British references that might not resonate with you guys, but most of it should I think/hope. Interesting to see how it goes. Oh and definitely see 'The Day Today' for some early Alan Partridge backstory, from when he was a mere TV news sports reporter.

Then this season, where he's relegated to being a regional radio DJ... then there's a few shorts and a movie , ALPHA PAPA... and now there's the latest one where he makes it back to being a TV presenter on a daytime show.

    If you watch "knowing me, knowing you with Alan Partridge" you'll see his first chat show series and you'll then see the reason he doesn't get a second one. Also, before his TV chat show, there was a radio version of the same title where he hopes it'll be successful enough to be moved from radio to television.
    Also, Steve Coogan created this character and gave him a whole history and future as if Alan's a real person. If you watch the stuff that comes after the two series of I'm Alan Partridge you'll see what I mean. He now has a podcast called "From The Oasthouse" and 3 books which have also been released as audio books read by Alan. They're called "I partridge, we need to talk about Alan", "Nomad" and "Big Beacon" and they're brilliant.

    If you get into alan partridge which, given that you seemed to enjoy the first,seems likely then there is a whole universe to enjoy. You can see the first series of the cancelled chat show, there is a movie, another series called "mid morning matters" and another called "this time with alan partridge". There are clips of him at the beginning of his career on a show called "the day today" as a sports presenter. Also there are 3 books that are genuinely incredible if you have seen the tv stuff and 3 series of a podcast called "from the oasthouse with alan partridge" that are very funny. Finally (i think) there is a mock documentary called "scissored isle" that is really good too. If you were to chaeck any out, they do have a chronological order which is fairly important as much of the later stuff, especially the books are very self refrencing as they have many stories in them that are his point of view on things the viewer has seen and he sees things very differently.

    We use miles as a standard. All our signs are in miles.
    In the Uk we use imperial and metric interchangably with distance and to some degree weights.

    You're coming into the Partridge saga in the middle with this one. Should start with 'the day today' and then 'knowing me knowing you'

    • @drum253
      @drum253 7 месяцев назад +3

      Yes. Although the very first TV appearances, on Day Today aren't the start of Partridge material. The start - and his very funniest interviews, imho- were from the "Knowing me, knowing you" radio series.
      Maybe not best for here, but, that's the start and a shame if you miss those out.

    As an avid watcher of all English-speaking series I think I can say that the american ones use centuries-old plot lines.. It's always the same, just with different times, places and characters.. often riddled with what all of those dinosaurs in Hollywood think is the "contemporary, normal social behaviour", while most british series are made by an already established comedian who more often then not already wrote the entire script or story to completion, wants to tell a story and when it's over, it's over. Another reason why british series are so relatively short. 😂
    On the american side on the other hand we have series written by a team of writers as the show goes along, in order to squeeze even the last bit of money out of it until nobody watches it anymore and they just cut it off.. 😂
