Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 5, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2019 The oneupmanship between Partridge and Sam was very well done. I presume the rest of the series is him desperately trying to land the presenter's gig? Quote

It feels like Coogan’s fully warmed up and 100% back to being Alan whereas as he wasn’t *quite* there last week. Also, Jenny is properly saucy ? I love her a little bit. I think it's because she reminds me of the first girl to properly break my heart. That can't be healthy. Quote
Paid Members waters44 Posted March 5, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2019 The bit when Sam was talking to the crowd, and finished just as Alan was jogging up and said “cheers” had me in absolute stitches! Also - “there’s 50,000 kids there!!” Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted March 5, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 5, 2019 The bit where Alan was doing very weak improv over the gorillas and they brought up the footage of the other two looking awkward was my highlight this week. Quote

I don't want to say too much about it and spoil it, but the sequence when Partridge takes a seat at the back of the audience made me laugh more than I have laughed in a while, as did the anagram. Yep that bloke at the end of the back row, so subtly done I almost missed it the first time will be hard to top. i think more focus on the actual show this week (as aposed to the behind the scenes) worked better.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2019 Ha! I kept catching glimpses of that Tweet, but never quite enough to read the whole thing, was wondering what the gag was going to be. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2019 Really sad about the audience drop off for ep2. World of Sport levels of drop. 3.4m down to 2m. Just goes to show 1.4m people are idiots. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I watched the second one on iPlayer so I guess I’m one of those 1.4m. BBC can’t be that bothered as they’re about to make another Partridge series. https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/news/5229/another_alan_partridge_show/ Quote
Factotum Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 The consolidated figures will be higher. I caught it after the fact. I do think its odd its on BBC1. Would have put it on BBC2 where is belongs. Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2019 There's usually a drop-off from the 1st to 2nd episode in most TV shows isn't there? Then it picks up a bit towards the end and the season finale usually has strong viewing figures. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2019 They should have given him the Top Gear job after Clarkson got canned. Quote
Paid Members Chris B Posted March 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 7, 2019 There's always going to be a drop off after the first episode. But especially when the first episode is 'event' television, with Radio Times covers and a huge social media event (the email) to remind people that it's on. A bunch of people are going to check it out and decide it isn't for them (which is ALWAYS going to be the case with comedy), and a bunch of others will have forgotten what night of the week it is, and watch it on catch-up.

This. I mean i often don't record things on my box anymore as I can just watch it on Iplayer. The only channels I will record is ITV and 4 as there catch up services have adverts I can't skip. The Beeb are already planning another Alan Partridge show so I don't think they are too concerned. I did watch the first episode of Warren. It's like a shit One Foot In The Grave Quote
Paid Members Murtz Posted March 9, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2019 I've watched each episode twice.. and on second watch I spotted so much more than the first. It's the subtle brilliance that makes this show superb. The co host is ace too, some of her subtle reactions are timed to perfection. Quote
