Mr_Danger Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 RIP Seldom. Think there’ll be plenty to run with if his next move is to a fictional right wing 24 hour news channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members chokeout Posted June 5, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 5, 2021 It's was so cruel to have every part of the show finally running so smoothly. he managed to time the walk and talk, the banter with Simon, Simon actually having actual confidence and using the screen correctly and then Alan self destructed. In the end it was the only way it could really end and his pathetic version of the speech from Network was a classic lack of self awareness. I'm hoping they manage to go back to a different format, I'd love another series of I'm Alan Partridge but scissored Isle and Places of my life show the character works best in the faux documentary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Felt my heart jump a minor moment when Alan and the audience member had that chat about the tooth pin. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 11 minutes ago, scratchdj said: there’s often no pause between dialogue. I suppose that's because its shot in real time and they're on a fast paced TV show, but thats a really good point. It is gag packed and there's very little breathing space.

Mr_Danger Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 His reaction to his impromptu Jimmy Saville impersonation the other week was probably my favourite moment of this series. It’s always the nuance that’s richest mine for comic gold with Partridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I loved the mention of his dog and when they connect all the different formats of the Partridge universe. RIP Seldom. I hope you get to eat all the eggs you want up in dog heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 5, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 5, 2021 The events of the final episode feel like the culmination of Jennie's masterplan to have him ousted by having a lot of stuff go very wrong to spotlight how out of touch he is. It just felt like his history expert not wearing any pants (which was so well executed), the piece about the robot dog where he talks about his "housemaid of colour" and asking about the "sex robot" combined with him managing to lose his mind over the pictures etc was so conveniently timed, especially coinciding with the Princess Anne interview. The concern I'd have about a Partridge series set at a right wing news network would be that some right wing people might not get the joke and end up championing Partridge as some kind of bastion of what they stand for. I know he paints it with ridiculously broad strokes here, and it has potential to be brilliant, but I also know what some of those people could be like. "The BBC won't let me back in." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 22, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2022 https://alanpartridgelive.com/  Quote  Love him or loathe him, we all love Alan Partridge. Over a multi-decade broadcasting career, this wonderful and surprisingly well-read man has brought delight to millions. And now, in a country riven with discord and disease, Alan is touring the country with a message of hope. Welcome to STRATAGEM, a live stage show that promises to inform, educate and entertain in approximately equal measure. Wearing a head-mic favoured by TED talkers, market hawkers, TV evangelists, backing singers and carnival barkers, Alan combines all these roles and more. It’s a manifesto for the way we can move forward, a roadmap to a better tomorrow, an ABC for the way to be. Devised, written, choreographed, performed and funded by Alan Partridge, Stratagem sees Alan not just treading the boards but pounding them, atop stages graced by such luminaries as Michael Ball, Jack Whitehall and Welsh rockers the Stereophonics. So join Alan, live on stage, (though patrons are asked not to join Alan live on stage) as he brings STRATAGEM to a city or selected good-sized town near you.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCW Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I saw Strategem Saturday just gone and thought it was very funny. I was a bit hesitant to believe it would be good going in, as one man character shows tend to be very good or very shite. But delighted it was the former!

Glad to hear that as I'm seeing it in Newcastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
