AP starts as the sports correspondent on a TV show, then hosts his own TV show, then is demoted to local radio, before returning to TV presenting. In this show, he presents an East Anglian radio show.
The first few clips were not from the 'I'm Alan Partridge' series but from other shows featuring the same character, such as 'The Day Today.' 'I'm Alan Partridge' is a classic series though (two series in fact, each of six episodes) you really should see full episodes for the context and to do it justice. I would certainly recommend it - it's one of my favourites of all time. You won't regret it.
Best comedy character ever created. Once you go down the Alan Partridge rabbit hole you’ll find yourself in a public area listening to one of his audio books laughing your head off like a complete nutter 😊
Brilliant reaction Megan! His spoof chat show 'Knowing me Knowing You with Alan Partridge' came before 'I'm Alan Partridge' so if you're planning on reacting to full episodes it might be worth watching that series first so that you understand the full story.🙂
Steve Coogan as Savile in The Reckoning was something else. The most frighteningly hard hitting, accurate character portrayal play ever seen of a truly evil person. Steve Coogan is a very talented actor.
Go to the top of the diving board, boing up, boing down and dive feet first into the Alan Partridge world. Now Norwich’s No.1 home grown celebrity theme park.
Note AP’s soft-leather, aerated mesh-weave driving gloves. He was reluctant to hand them over when he spent ‘time’ in a young offender’s institution (borstal) having first applied to do the social experiment in a woman’s prison but getting turned down. For goodness sake.
Please watch full episodes - you'd enjoy them. I was disappointed when the "cock-piss-Partridge" conversation with the smirking receptionist didn't feature : ). Ditto for the swingers evening with the Lynx bloke.
When I was in a relationship, I often wanted to use the 'classic intercourse' line but stopped myself. And you need to watch the full episodes, as the comedy is in the nuances, and the character of Alan. He's based on a certain type of broadcaster who thinks they're great but never actually very good at all.
My gf regularly tells me off for using Alan Partridge lines in the bedroom. “Come on Alexia…. Let’s be appalling”. “Alexia, what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre”?
I think the pedestrianisation of Bradford city centre is shit, and Reggie Photo thinks the same thing about the pedestrianisation of Preston city centre.
The no filter thing is what Alan Partridge is all about.
'I'm Alan Partridge' is the funniest thing that has ever been broadcast, in my opinion. Can't be topped.

No, he started out on On The Hour, a radio show.
The first TV show to feature AP is excellent current affairs satire The Day Today.
He boings down, double back twister, bangs his head on the board and in. Lovely stuff.

I was on the train watching “smell my cheese!” scene and laughed so hard a lady asked if I was having a fit
You should defintely watch the two series of I'm Alan Partridge where a lot of this came from. So funny
Great reaction Megan. You’ve now entered a very deep rabbit hole !!!
Thank you! 😊
Such a great character.
Can't believe this bloody bloke got his foot caught on the spikes there! Funny classic British show here & love the reactions Megan!
😂 thanks Falcom!
"bloody"...quite literally..!

The Day Today is before both.
One of the best character's ever created.... the lore is so deep with this guy he has done books and podcasts and a film
You must try the whole series "I'm Alan Partridge". Made by Armando Iannucci of Veep fame.
Steve Coogan as Savile in The Reckoning was something else. The most frighteningly hard hitting, accurate character portrayal play ever seen of a truly evil person. Steve Coogan is a very talented actor.

He's basically a Z-lister who will turn up to the opening of a vein.
Ruth we told you to watch these two series 6 episodes each 1997 2002.
Alan will never leave your thoughts ... he's so funny, he just pops into your thoughts randomly, and you laugh ✨️👊🏼😬👊🏼✨️
Superb writing a comic masterclass. You should check out his spoof chat show, Knowing me knowing you, it's hilarious and so clever.
You need to watch the whole show to appreciate it. You'll love it as much as Alan loves Thai ladyboys!
😂 noted!
Aaaahhhhh.... Ladyboys!
(That was Partridge, not me, btw)
Just watch morning TV programmes to see actual Alan Partridges!
Phillip Schofield and Richard Madeley for example.
I’m Alan partridge series 1-2, superb

As sports commentator in The Day Today, was going to mention this in your live stream, but thought you might’ve known his predecessor show

Music from Hergest Ridge.
First time watching your reactions. Loved it. And damnnn you’re stupidly beautiful 😮
"Shitty zombies! “
Why is there a trend of putting reaction spoilers at the beginning of the video? Just curious.
I liked his first 2 TV series but couldnt get into his other stuff.
Alan partridge is so cringe but he's unaware that's what makes him funny 🤣
It is funnier within the context of the show but there was enough there for you to get the gist of it and have a few awkward, cringe worthy laughs.
When I was in a relationship, I often wanted to use the 'classic intercourse' line but stopped myself.

King of awkward
I disagree with most of the "Best Moments" and "Best Songs" etc.

CLASSIC reaction.
-So thanks!
You’re welcome! ☺️
Useless to watch a string of clips like this. Either watch a complete episode, or leave it alone.
