I think 'kiddiestare' is based on 'minipops". Minipops was a short-lived ch.4 show were toddlers were dressed up and sang songs like famous pop stars. People innocently thought it was cute. Until they realised that a show where getting a 4 year old dressed as Madonna to sing 'like a virgin' may have an altogether different audience...
Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci are geniuses. Nearly 30 years on this is still hilarious, and relevant. I think TV news producers think this is a documentary.
As youve started the Alan Partridge TV journey at the very beginning I suggest do Knowing Me, Knowing You next so you can witness the evolution of the character.
That first 'in-house' interview, with the jam festival... Really did test and change my idea of comedy as it's just so unnecessary and brutal. I wasn't sure if it was a joke, so well acted. I couldn't tell if the interviewee was real or pretending, because their reaction seemed so genuine, as someone would if confronted in this way over a charity drive. Certainly rule breaking and ahead of its time. Not sure anyone's caught up with it in the same way just yet...
The reason the graphics are so great is that they were made by a real news graphics studio. Also it is worth watching the credits to the end (both end, and as part of a scene), as there are some funky (quite literally) easter eggs. News, from telly to belly!
Love this show. There's a show similar to this kind of comedy called 'TV Offal', that has bits just as brutal as that scene with the jam lady haha They have full episodes on RUclips.
he seemed to have a great sense of humour. By the way I just noticed that the TV offal pilot episode has that piss take of Noel Edmonds and the dirty Rainbow clip. Would be a great episode for Noah to react to.
Good reaction - unfortunately the historical shows segment are scarily close to real shows. The Steve Coogan being fellated was a spoof of a 60’s show when someone took LSD on camera. Kiddystare was a parody of short lived Channel 4 show Minipops and Them Next Door was a spoof of Love Thy Neighbour. I don’t remember there being a live hanging though!
Details no-one's mentioned yet - * That whole Attitudes Night segment is a parody of the TV Hell/TV Heaven themed nights that BBC 2 ran in the early '90s. TV Hell saw the first ever airing of that clip of Chris Mayhew tripping - he wasn't on LSD though, he was on mescaline. I've been quoting Mayhew's "...your space and time" and "...what now is" outbursts for decades. * Some of us always stifle a giggle when Alan, in his intro, uses the word "sport" in the Samuel-Pepysian sense
So many quotable lines in this. To this day my best friend and I sometimes say goodbye by saying 'Ta-ra, ya shitter!' By the way the 'It's Your Blood' section was parodying '999', a show that reconstructed life saving emergency service rescues involving the public. Except with fewer old women on poles.

Great one. One placed I lived, we would put this on telly when people came round and they would think it was real. I liked the Jam festival part the most in this episode.
Watching this video is an experience I will never forget, even if my brain is erased with mind rubbers.
Would love to see you do I am alan Partridge.
Stop getting I'm wrong
Can't wait for more Partridge on this channel!

It definitely is based on Minipops.

One of the most perfect comedy series ever, up there with Fawlty Towers and The Office (original version, obvs). Still great after over 30 years.

100% agree! KMKYWAP highly recommended!😃😃
Yessssss I'm so happy to hear you're doing more Alan Partridge!!
Great reaction. Seeing some Partridge on the channel is always good, long may it continue!
So glad you’re doing this again, it’s such a funny show
You have to do Brass Eye, PLEASE👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
That was so funny I have agree that lady for jam interview was so brutal. I can’t wait to see next episode.

this should make no sense to anyone younger than 45 not living in
Awesome, please do continue this, one of my favourite comedy shows, so underrated, I even prefer it to Brass Eye in many ways

Steven Hawkins was a legend for doing the intros "TV offal, where quadriplegia is a suitable subject for light entertainment" he looks so happy :)
he seemed to have a great sense of humour.

TV Offal is such a niche gem of a show
Please do Partridge ya shit!
I think the atmosphere has turned rather sour, I'm Shit-Chatting. Sorry, Chit-Shatting.
Smell my cheese!
6:43 "Have you anything else to say in your defense?" I honestly thought I might die laughing 🤣
The 2 seasons of I'm Alan Partridge are a masterpiece.
So funny, just loved this back in the day - and great to see it's aged well too (unlike me), lol.
Looking forward to some pure Alan Partridge too.
WHAT! I feel like I watched that when it came out, August is crazy

OMG I'd forgotten "Kiddystare".

My pocket shepherd saves me on a daily basis. I would also recommend a pocket lion tamer for anyone thinking of overseas holidays.
Was that Sean lock in air traffic control???
Great one. One placed I lived, we would put this on telly when people came round and they would think it was real.
I liked the Jam festival part the most in this episode.
the mayo quandaries have made me econd think my lunch salad ..

in uk the fact that it still works shows how broken the world is
24:50 as far as I can tell, this is like a superior version of TikTok right here.
