romanticdude Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Where do I start with Alan Partridge if I haven't seen anything except Alpha Papa promos and some The Day Today bits?

hello spiral Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Start with Day Today ideally yeah. Most people would say just watch I'm Alan Partridge 1 & 2 after that (which is where the gold is) but I'd argue Knowing Me Knowing You gives important context for when they go full meta with I'm Alan Partridge. After that it's all gravy. I need to rewatch Scissored Isle.

romanticdude Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Speaking of Day Today, do you think a show like this or Brass Eye would work today? Or did reality catch up too closely?

hello spiral Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm not sure how you could improve on Brasseye. Current affairs programs still look, sound and feel like Brasseye.

pcock Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 brasseye has proven itself to be an accurate prophet of human/media stupidity over the last 20 years tbh.

DavieAddison Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think Nathan For You is the most similar to Brass Eye/The Day Today in terms of humor but obviously very different subject matter. I pray for the return of Chris Morris though (I think he’s making a movie currently) Regarding Alan Partridge I haven’t seen anything other than the two shows and the movie but I think he did a bunch of one off stuff. Any of it worth checking out?

Blir Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Pretty much all of it really. Scissored Isle is great, so is Welcome To The Places of my Life. Mid Morning Matters is another one that's great, but watch it when you're more familiar with the character. It's very dry and presented like a live webcam feed of Alan doing his radio show. Hilarious though. Partridge is probably the funniest, most well realised comedy character ever made. Other than Mr Blobby.

pcock Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 both the books are great too, but i would recommend watching enough of him on screen to make sure your brain auto-reads in his voice.

Blir Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm the same usually, it's just such a funny book when read by Partridge. I make exceptions only for the Partridge books.

dr lopez Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I really want a well-done infographic of every single appearance of Alan in chronological order. starting from on the hour through to this one. the world needs it.

Amen Warrior Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think alan partridge was in on the hour, which was the radio 4 thing which came before day today.
