    I honestly think the new show is just as funny if not funnier than the classic AP. The difference? No laugh track to tell people without much of a sense of humour when to laugh. There are a ton of clever lines in this but they pass by without fanfare. YOU have to see the humour in them. Of course someone might be reading this who thinks they do in fact have a good sense of humour and that they still don't find the new stuff very funny and that's okay, maybe it's missing something that made the old stuff work for you besides the canned laughter BUT I still maintain that This Time series 2 is up there with I'm Alan Partridge and Knowing Me Knowing You and I hope I'm not alone in thinking that.

      Coogan has changed the voice, look and mannerisms of Partridge. To longstanding Partridge fans from On The Hour, The day today, KMKY and IAP this character is now unrecognisable. The character has had its personality ripped out and replaced.
      Partridge smothered chocolate mousse over Jill and found it hilarious taunting Bridie McMann about Lesbian slang names.
      In this series of This Time Alan is pleading not to be reported because a makeup artist played a joke on him. I get the satire on today's society but its not actually that funny. Partridge is supposed to be a spoof of egotistical z list TV personalities , not a satire on the state of social change.
      Both Coogan and the new writers are completely over thinking everything.

    • @Daniel-pp3jt
      @Daniel-pp3jt 3 года назад +9

      @@nudisco300 Some interesting points there. In an online interview with BFI Steve addressed the fact that Alan's character has changed a lot by saying that Alan has developed as a person and that one would be quite different 20 years later, I know I am. You have to remember that in I'm Alan Partridge he is having a breakdown. Everything in his life has gone to shit, his marriage, his career, his housing situation and in that situation you would go a bit mad but he's had a lot of time to move past that. The breakdown in I'm Alan Partridge is itself a new development not present in the original chat show. However, Alan's most defining personality traits remain today: his pedantry, his social awkwardness and his tendency to get bogged down with insignificant details. As for his new voice, one can easily pick up a different accent in a new town. It does happen.
      As for the emergence of overt political commentary, I can see how that would be jarring for some. After all, Alan always used to be pretty right wing. Reading as he did the Daily Mail and making homophobic comments. Nowadays Alan is aware of how going to a public school helps you get a job at the BBC. It is, one can imagine, just Coogan's way of expressing his own left wing values, which one could say means breaking character. I enjoy it and find it funny, but it's a fair criticism of the writing. Again, one could imagine a person flipping from one wing of politics to the other over a twenty year period, but it isn't the norm.

    • @securityrobot
      @securityrobot 3 года назад +1

      I don’t find it funny because the writing is very poor. The classic AP shows stand up to rewatches, these new shows don’t. As for the laughter track missing that has no relevance, it’s usage isn’t a cue for those that don’t know when to laugh, to suggest that is nonsense, The successful Carry On films never had a laughter track, audiences react because the writing is good. The other element which you’ve overlooked that is missing is Armando Iannucci. He’s the driving force that would’ve made this show distinctive quality entertainment that’s leagues ahead of the rest. Armando Iannucci follows on from a long line of talent that knows comedy inside out, Geoffrey Perkins was another master of producing great shows.

Partridge is still vile, but more self aware than he was, which diminishes the comedy a bit ! As for the bit part players. Lynn is totally underused.

    I put my essential kitchen utensils on hooks, like scissors and can openers, they all have holes in them for this purpose. The knives and forks have their own trays and the rest is chucked in the draw all easy enough to find. Alan had obviously gone demented overnight naming his ping pong ball and thinking of unnecessary utensil ordering, thankfully not some kind of dirty protest.

    I like the utensil idea.

      I like the utensil idea too. Not sure how it would work if you've got the utensils and cutlery in the same drawer though

      ​@@Bromley68​True it would not work together, would need separate draws.

    this show is a bit poor when there doing there chat show scenes,until Alan does his own thing outside the studio there very well written and very funny,loved the silence of the monks,very slapstick and quality stuff.....
