Fans of Alan Partridge

I highly recommend you get the audio book 'iPartridge'. What makes it so good is that it's over six hours of the Alan Partridge book narrated by himself. It is really good.

What you need to do is set up an account on audible here:

http://www.audible.co.uk/t1/Default30_at?source_code=VGR30DFT1Bk9004RA020812

It's free to set up and you get one month free. You can then download iPartridge.

You may then, if you like, cancel the subscription but still keep the audio book.

I'm not sure if this is the same for around the world but it's good for UK.

T&Cs

• Free download available as part of a 30-day trial of Audible during which you pay nothing and can choose to download any audiobook for free. They will need your credit/debit card details to verify your identity and to prove you are over 18.

Does it include music form the suggested playlist for the Partridge book?

If not, here it is on Spotify:

I, Alan Partridge - Music from Alan's Autobiography

looks like it's just uk.

anyway, the book is great, but the audiobook is fucking incredible

I've listened to this book at least 5 times. I'd highly recommend it to Partridge fans. Better than the Foster's shorts.

I hope the film will be decent.

I thought "Places of My Life" was the film?

Unless I'm mistaken, that would be very exciting.

I've been watching so much Alan Partridge the past couple weeks... AH HA!

Seriously one of the best comedians and I have noticed many things borrowed from his writing, Colbert/Stewart especially. I imagine even Larry David was influenced to do Curb because of Alan.

Did you check out those shows I mentioned?

Been checking them out, thanks again.

i read the book and bothered to put on at least 75 percent of the playlist, it was absolutely majestic.

Needless to say I had the last laugh.

actually LD had never heard of him before a showrunner suggested they get coogan on for a cameo for season 5 or 6. Too bad his part wasn't very good. LD comes straight out of borscht belt slapstick, and just combined it with his own internal neuroses. Latter seasons were far more slapstick as he got older, the buckner bit, groat's disease.

anyway... day today alan is best alan for me.

Alan, how much orange is there in a dead body?

uhh... half a cup...

Interesting, I don't even recall seeing Coogan on Curb and I've seen them all, but it has been a few years.

Alan - "So what bands do you like then?"

Ben - "Nirvana...

Alan - (looks bemused)

Ben - Kurt Cobain, you know blew his head off with a shotgun"

Alan - "Why?"

Ben - "I dunno, he was depressed."

Alan- "Why? Were they not very good?"

Ben - "No, they were great"

Alan - "Hmm someone should have told him"

apart from day today, every radio intro is fucking flawless.

That was the police! or as they're now known: Sting!

That was Bill Withers who, thank the lord, is still with us.

Who's that beautiful blonde man with a lovely voice? It's Annie Lennox.

One of the actors on the new film (they are filming now) put a quote up on Twitter the other day - "She's a drunk racist, Lynne. I'll tolerate one but not both."

For me it goes:

Audiobook

I'm Alan Partridge 1 & 2

Welcome to the Places of my Life

Mid Morning Matters

The Day Today

Knowing Me Knowing You

You should check out 'The Trip' too - where Coogan plays himself on a tour of restaurants in the Lake District. Half scripted, half improvised, half truth, half fiction - its brilliant and strangely relaxing to watch.

HUH???

KMKYWAP is nearly flawless.

Nah, bit dated I think. It is good, but I preferred the Radio 4 version.

This gave me a good chortle last night. Brilliant to quote all the way through.
