This Time with Alan Partridge - baggiebloke - 02-26-2019
Such is the familiarity that I (most of us probably) have with Steve Coogan's character that I found watching it a surreal experience last night.
It's like watching a mate who you want to do well systemically fuck it all up. At least he has Lynn watching his back...
I found it cringeworthy and am really looking forward to next week's episode.

I didn't manage to catch, but with all things like this, it can't be as good as the original two series. They were gold.

His 'having a shit without using your hands' bit nearly made me cry.

Thought it was a good opening episode but I don’t think it deserves the gushing praise it seems to have received from everyone in the media. I mean, it was good but not great - looking forward to seeing where it goes though.
The section with Simon and the screen could have been taken straight from Day Today/Brasseye (and that’s a good thing). The hacker interview was great too.

Was that the "Files not found" bit? If so, creased me that. +1 on your assessment of the episode.

Cant disagree with any of that. The problem is that all Partridge is inevitably compared with KMKY and the equally brilliant Linton Travel Tavern series
