Well spotted. It's often the way with introverts who act; from what I've heard from people who've worked with him, Coogan's quite an introverted, private guy.
Stephen are you being... now I hate this word because it's banded about all over the place. ... But are you being ironic or are really a twat? Just a question. Don't mean to offend.
I agree with Stephen Dawe. When I read Coogan's autobiography, _Easily Distracted,_ it was pure Partridge all the way through. I found myself repeatedly referring back to the front cover to check whether I was reading Coogan or Partridge. I have to say, after I had completed the book, (which was quite a trial in itself), that the front cover is just plain misleading.
Only time i watch ross is when coogan is on. You can see ross looks uncomfortable as he cant cope with the unpredictable and speed of wit coogan has😂😂😂
My dad thought that Alan was a real person. "he has quite a dry sense of humour, doesnt he?" Then again he also though that the office uk was a real documentary.
if only i could watch....'Skirmish' is the military-based general knowledge quiz show presented by Alan Partridge, as seen on daytime digital cable television channel, UK Conquest. The show boasts the largest audience share of any digital channel at that time of day, in the Norfolk area. On average, 'Skirmish' gets a whooping 8,000 viewers. To put that in perspective, that's eleven times the population of Hemsby.

Incredible skills as Coogan demonstrates how the working of Alan's mind unravels its mysterious ways it really can go anywhere and without afterthought or a hint of self consciousness....just brilliant.....
There's so much attention to detail with the Alan Partridge character that even Coogan must sometimes wonder he ends and Alan begins. Going to take his trousers off when asked to wear the overalls is just so.. Partridge. I love that he thought of that on the fly.
I love that theres a history to the character of Alan Partridge that makes it even funnier when you know it. It makes him feel like a real person. When he comes out and shouts "Aha!" and get cheers and applause in front of the audience, you can see how hungry he is for that fame. It's been decades since he's been in front of a TV audience and he craves it.
Arguably the greatest British comedy character of all time. The longevity and consistency is unrivalled. Absolute genius. Armando ianucci deserves a big nod.
i was shouting bill oddie. i cant wait for the movie next year. us proper partridge fans are such a rare breed. it is so good when you meet someone who appriciates partridge. you wanna tell everyone about how genius the character is but at the same time i keep a lot of the best bits to myself. if you are a true fan you know exactly what i mean and you will laugh most days about something you you remember from the series... keep it to yourself. x. x. x. x. x
While you snivelling Remoaners are complaining about every tiny little hic-up of Brexit that appears in the news, like a few pigs being chucked in the dumpster or a slight shortage of urgent blood tests, sewage flavoured fish or a Welsh port closing down etc. etc. etc., us heroic patriotic Brexit supporting farmers, fishermen and our courageous Brexiteer carworker brothers in Swindon are reaping the magnificent benefits of the fantastic success of our glorious Brexit triumph and we can now drag our perfect English knuckles on our uneven English pavements and mouth breath all over the place, maskless. Why can't you just let us true blue pioneering Brexiteers wallow, knee deep in our delirious happiness that we won our fabulous Brexit and that you lost your freedom of movement, farms, factories, NHS, democracy and the enthusiastic European labour force needed to power our economy. Get over it Remoaners.
Say what you like about Ross, but his “It’s tragic” remark to the Hammond bit, and his breaking chuckle on “Well, there’s loads of them” were highlights for me
Mid Morning Matters is just pure and utter genius, if you are a fan of Partridge and have have not seen this six parter, go and get it yesterday! You will not be dissapointed. 'You're a complenm cunm' lolololol. Utter genius.
This is just completley Steve Coogan's comedy genius. Being in the character so much, keeping the deadpan serious face, while still making hillarious comments. Fair play to Jonathan Ross for giving him the freedom to adlib as much as he did, knowing he wouldn't take it too far. There's also another Alan Partridge interview with Clive Anderson which is hillarious too
I still remember the day a good friend of mine looked at a poster for the film Alpha Papa and said to me without a drop of irony "I cant be the only one that thinks that Alex Partridge looks a bit like Steve Coogan" He was 22 years old, never lived abroad and was a final year history student and he got the Alan part wrong when it was in big letters right infront of us. I like to think everyone knows that one person.

Steve Coogan is a complete genius and Partridge is a masterpiece of a creation. Fantastic! x
Hasn't put a foot wrong in 25 years. He's just the gift that keeps on giving.
@@paulies5407 agree
You can thank Richard Herring.
Mmmmmm, I'd say incomplete genius.
@@oliverbehegan I thought we could thank Chris Morris.
This is great banter, it really is.
Real panache

It’s hilarious when you pop your sausage roll in the microwave n it comes out hotter than the sun

I do like "I, Partridge". Its a good book, but its certainly not Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab.
+David Gurney - ha ha funny as fuck mate
+David Gurney it actually improves with every read
+David Gurney Randy McNob ;)
He actually stole the title from David Cassidy's autobiography.
David Gurney pointless comment
I just love the line 'I draw enormous comfort from the thought that one day a flap of my tummy may be used to rebuild a child's face' 🤣
Partridge is a singularly brilliant comic creation. 26 years and not one misstep.
Personally I think Steve Coogan looks more comfortable in character than he does in his own "persona"
+TheComputec What if Alan Partridge is just PRETENDING to be Steve Coogan?
Cue twilight zone music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That goes for everyone
Yes i'm convinced......He's the best guest Jonathan has ever had.
Regardless of how much of this is scripted, Coogan is streets ahead of Ross in every way imaginable.
Only time i watch ross is when coogan is on. You can see ross looks uncomfortable as he cant cope with the unpredictable and speed of wit coogan has😂😂😂
Abso-bloody-exactly.
Haha, this is great banter!
different animals though
Bodkin Brown No way you big spastic, you're a MENTALIST!
How he stays in character and ad libs so quickly is brilliant
ewan mcgregor gets top billing over Partridge? Glad Alan took a jab with the Star Wars gag, needless to say he had the last laugh
Now fuck off!
HeadJam *needles to say
headflaps haha
needles to say...I took drugs
Ewan McGregor couldn't present a... *_cat_*
When asked “which is my favourite The Beatles album” hmmmm, id have to say “The Best Of The Beatles”
Well everyone knows that Wings are the band that the Beatles could have been
That was actually a Pete Best album
@@themoviedealers Underrated drummer and comment, good for a chuckle, at least.
That's not how it went, is it?
"Ewan Mcregor jumps over three guests on a motorbike" is the most unintentionally Alan Partridge segment of a show I've ever seen! 😂😂
some people just dont get that character, I think its the greatest of all time!
It's very well done.
Too well done for the simpletons...
v similar to the sports correspondent on the News today
The first time I saw him was after a night in the pub. He had spoof Hanson boy band on and as I was drunk I really believed it was true.
Colin?
"I've got so many ideas up my sleeve I can't wear a tee-shirt"
Classic
"Chuffed to Buggery" - amazing
My dad thought that Alan was a real person. "he has quite a dry sense of humour, doesnt he?" Then again he also though that the office uk was a real documentary.
Brilliant! Show him The Royle Family. 😆

Yes, that is also excellent. Haha.
Who's this Coogan you speak of? That's Alan Partridge.
Absolutely!
Ruddy hell it's Soft Cell
Bill Withers, who is still with us
It’s Annie Lennox!

And this is great banter

I love how Gary and Tulisa try to keep a straight face when Alan says Louis is an awful man!
And Ewan Mcgregor sat there smiling like the cat who ate the canary
Coogan gives Ross a complete comedy masterclass here, ad-libbing and answering in character constantly. playing "wossy" like a violin :D
Steve Coogan is one of the best British actors we have had since the 1990’s ~ Alan Partridge is a Legend & Never stops making laugh . . .
I agree
I've pierced my foot on a SPEEIKKKEE
lol i remember that lol llolololololololololololloloolololololllllllllllllllloololooloooo

I can’t cancel lynn, some of these people have come from Stoke!
I think I almost passed out from laughter when he's doing the talk with a bloody foot and he keeps retching every few seconds.
@caring-is-creepy You're "inches away from my sleeping parent"? This sentence confused me greatly. Confused and disturbed me.
The audio book is sublime.
Ewan McGregor having himself a Partridge moment chucking his bike overalls into the audience.
Genius absolute ruddy genius
Richard Hammon Morrisons gag was brilliant...
He forgot to mention Bill Oddie as one of his celebrity friends.
And Bono
And Noel Edmonds.
And nearly Tony Hadley from spandau ballet, but Alan never went to the archery weekend

He must have spent a lot of time in airport gift shops
He was also called clinically fascinating.
This man is a comedy genius!
Steve Coogan must have so much fun playing him.
Loved his series of Alan Partridge... One of the best comedians :-)
Partridge the gift that just keeps giving
I love the use of language
Painfully funny
Say what you want about Ross, he was a good interviewer here, stepping back and letting Coogan take the stage.

alan partridge 1 of my fave characters he can say something anyone else could say but peforms it funny
Great banter.
It really is
3:50 I love how uncomfortable Gary and Tulisa look when Alan has a pop at Louis 😂😂😂
He has five celebrity friends. The ones he mentioned and Bill Oddie
He's got issues. Of What Car magazine.
“I’ve got 4 friends.”
Me: No, you’ve got one hundred and *4* friends.
Irony: a fictional character that's intentionally deeply annoying is funny. While Jonathan Ross, isn't funny, but *is* deeply annoying.....
iwony
DRINK!
FECK!
ARSE!
GIRLS!
Yep - and not surprisingly all the laughs are Alan's. it's JR's show and he can't contribute a single funny line. Overrated triple chinned twat.
Woss is a complete ranker.
That's a classic comment on irony there, from kwakkers68. Now...phew! I almost burnt my ruddy fingers! ...It's Hot Gossip, with 'Supernature'
Utter, utter genius. And Jonathan Ross.
This is making me want to visit an Owl Sanctuary.
I have never seen such fucking amazing hair.
I really feel sorry for those who don’t get Alan Partridge.
Bet he kept the persona on even n the green room..legend.
"I'm chuffed to buggery." Alan Partridge rules!
Alan walks on and everybody is happy!

I saw him live at the Edinburgh Festival before he was a household name- I peed myself laughing
Loving tulisa's blank expression when the louis walsh comment was made. Hilarious! Ewan McGregor's loving it!
His book is a work of utter genius.

Wivenhoe owl sanctuary.
Dogs on Fogle. Partridge/Coogan is at his most beautiful when he only has to say three words to make you burst out laughing.
Steve is a legend 🏆
When Tulisa was still hot...
Ryan Anthony that's the first thing that came into my head, she didn't look half bad back in the day.
What's big and black and makes Tulissa look incompetent?
A microphone.
Who the feck is Tulisa?
It took me ages to figure out who she was, her face seemed well kinda normal. Amazing how people like that just evaporate.
Not heard of her but looks rough to me, is this in her prime?
Alan AND some Ewan as a bonus! Excellent....
