@@jakezywek6852 I remember reading or hearing an interview with Sidekick Simon (I should know his real name really but escapes me at the moment) fairly recently where he was explaining 1: just how scared he was at messing up a legends work, and 2: how tightly every little throwaway remark is scripted
@Prick, Scumbag College No, I still can’t. Not one that’s evolved so much, even to the point that going to Sky is exactly what AP would do. Even the way it sometimes haunts him when he’s playing ‘himself’ in The Trip.
Best interview Partridge has ever given...so natural...he lived as Partridge here....(Coogan is one of the greatest comedic talents of the last 20 years)
He didn’t write any of his good stuff. He’s a left wing cretin who just wants to shut down the press so he can keep living a lavish immoral lifestyle with no consequences. Hope he’s enjoying the huge tory majority today
1 Voodoo Gaming the same press who exposed thousands of episodes of corruption. Throwing away the unpleasant yet necessary evil of a free press, the most valuable guardian of justice....a non controlled press. Throwing that away, for a few hacked calls and to protect the lifestyles of (in the vast majority of cases) the rich, famous, powerful and enfranchised.
This might be the best he's ever done partridge. The voice, the attitude, the whole demeanour....he totally nails it here for me. I could listen to the way he pronounces Uganda on a loop lol
I think one of the greatest AP moments is when Alan and Lynn are in the elevator and Lynn says "I'll be your on screen wife." The look of embarrassment and regret on her face and the look of silent contempt on his face is pure comedy genius, and it's topped off by the quick look of disgust he gives her as he walks out of the door. There's another great scene in that elevator when the giggling idiot laughs all the way up and Alan starts laughing with him out of contempt, then as he walks out of the door behind him he says "unbelievable." Cracks me up every time, pure Partridge.
Clive's still around. He does a lot of radio stuff now (he always had the face for it!). As a lawyer and ex-President of Cambridge Footlights, I expect he works as much as he wants to. He also charges £10K+ for after-dinner speeches. If I were him I'd do ten of those a year and sod all else. But then, I'm a very lazy man.
Does Clive Anderson not realise the Linton Travel Tavern has Carte Noir coffee sachets and double lock Everest windows.in every room? Hardly a come down. Touch my face.
How many other comic characters would real people be happy to indulge without feeling like a stooge? The genius of Alan Partridge is that he feels as real in unstaged situations as he does in a sitcom.
I feel similar about his enunciation of words as Coogan portrayed Alan Partridge. "lovely touch"..."airport rabble". So fluid and the character, the emotions, the reactions, the subtleties - so marvelous and talented and hilariously amusing to watch!
I love the subtleties of the character. He's talking about Nick Peacock's revamp at Radio Norwich (who is not a real person) but he asks Clive if he knows him due to Clive also being in showbusiness. It just adds to the believability of the character. Its genius really
Anderson's face at 8:07.. I see a lil bit of the green eyes monster. Coogan's wit is so quick and sharp as a machete- That comeback about backing into the TV career. Haha
What an absolute legend! A true institution! Clive Anderson obviously really loves and appriciates alan partridge, you can tell with the way he keeps giggling!! Thanks for posting!!
A comedic masterclass.Never once do I see Steve Coogan when he's in character as Alan..best comedy character of all time.Everyone has a bit of Partridge in them.
I hate that these comments are full of bad language and people putting Clive Anderson down. Both Mr Anderson and Mr Coogan are classy, respectable family acts, beloved to many. Mr Anderson in particular is a very gentle and lovely man. Those kind of vicious, foul comments simply do not belong here. If you want crudity, nastiness and swearing go somewhere else, but don't tarnish these videos with it. These men don't deserve that. I cannot stand modern TV and all its foulness, and that is why you find me here watching clips like this--from a time when TV presenters still had a sense of decency, sobriety, and respect.
Lee Bee people obviously prefer when the interviewer is completely lacking in personality and is there strictly to salivate on the feet of the celebrities... like James Corden.
I think Alan was having a dig at Clive about the Bee Gee interview where Barry Gibb threw a tantrum and walked off, then the others Gibbs followed like obedient band members... Alan is very subtle with his jokes and very intelligent..
Steve Coogan is like Chris Morris, as soon as he is in character he is there 99.9% of the time, and it is very rare for him to slip out of it. During the recording of I'm Alan Partridge he did on occasion, but on talk shows and other appearances he was Alan Partridge through and through.
From these early days, right through to the current "Oast House" audio stuff, it's a 3 decade masterpiece. It even gets quite emotional in Oast House, when his grandkids come to visit. I can't think of any other comedy character that evolved so naturally, for so long.
+Lemon Spade Didnt David Icke walk off also ......( I dont mean wogan ) but I think Icke was on and got humiliated by Anderson and was pissed off by it

@@tdurb0 By the way, I believe that Coogan took heavy inspiration for Partridge's voice from John Stapleton.

Spot on
My old man saw a young Partridge, then grumbled about slipping standards at the BBC. A precious moment :)
Coogan. One of the cleverest sharpest comedians of all time. Partridge being his masterpeice.
I don't know, I think his Duncan Fuckwit is pretty damn good.

its unbelievable how he manages to stay exactly in character for so long! not many people could do that
Not many people know that
I'm amazed how sharp Coogan is even when he's in character. Look i know there's a rehearsal but he's still razor sharp.

His character, is so convincing. No wonder Steve is such a good actor.

Love Mr Partridge. The best. Steve is gold with this character.
This really is the worth of boast worlds.
not the biscuits......
Lovely stuff, not my words, the words of Shakin Stevens
The genius of cogan is his detailed characters, from Alan's athlete's foot to his driving gloves.....saxondale is on the same level.

God this brings back happy memories.
This is an absolute masterclass.

wow. i missed this at the time. Coogan's on fire
Pure genius!
I remember when I was a young lad and I first saw this….Partridge is so brilliantly done I genuinely thought this was serious.
Clive's show was moribund by this stage.
So sad, this was one of Clive's final interviews before Noel Edmonds cut him down in the prime of his life.
hahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Love this character.
I think Alan was having a dig at Clive about the Bee Gee interview where Barry Gibb threw a tantrum and walked off, then the others Gibbs followed like obedient band members... Alan is very subtle with his jokes and very intelligent..

"I dont like to talk about that..." - "Er, Did you hear the answer to the question?" "Basically, what happened was my wife..." 😂
Alan Partridge- Wonderful & comedy at its best, lets have another series please
Give him another series, you shit!
The pause at 5.54...brilliant comedian!!!
This is someone using passive aggression in a very precise way.Watch the pauses and facial expressions.Very good.
From these early days, right through to the current "Oast House" audio stuff, it's a 3 decade masterpiece. It even gets quite emotional in Oast House, when his grandkids come to visit.

wonderful job. :)
Thanks for posting this. I thought I'd watched everything possible with Alan Partridge, but I'd never seen this clip.
Loving the dig about when Clive called the Bee Gees has beens on a live show & they walked off set.
Brilliant....Partridge is comic genius.
Clive Anderson was brilliant
I absolutely love him xxx
'Thrice weekly with Sonia Manion's Norfolk nights'......Coogan's voice borders on poetic

Saw that and was appalled -- by Clive and his unrelenting rudeness.
I thought Clive was just being agreeable...the ever self effacing Bee Gees said they were Tossers and Clive simply agreed.
This is brilliant.
