spratters Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 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. You will not be charged during your 30 day free trial. Membership automatically begins at the end of your free trial and your credit card will be charged accordingly unless you cancel your order during the trial period (30 days). The free trial is only available to first time members of Audible.

Guest Gary C Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I've listened to this book at least 5 times. I'd highly recommend it to Partridge fans. Better than the Foster's shorts.

syd syside Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) 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.

I imagine even Larry David was influenced to do Curb because of Alan. 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...

syd syside Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 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" Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide syd syside's signature Hide all signatures " Last law bearing means that any reformer or Prophet will be a subordinate of the Holy Prophet (saw) and no new Messenger and Prophet with a new religion, book or decree will come after him.
