Partridge

[Mr Kobayashi]

Did anyone see this?

It’s even more bizarre in context. From 3 mins onwards explains why he has a block of sweaty cheese.

I can't watch that here. It's blocked for me.

Google Sebastian vettel cheese. I got a smaller Facebook video on the front page, maybe that works.

 

[Paladin]

Anyone see it earlier ?

Bit nervous about watching it as I thought the last series was poor

Yeah. Mixed feelings. I laughed at a few bits, but other stuff was a bit cringy. Maybe it's supposed to be like that. The end was a let down. The social media sidekick isn't very good. He could do with someone like Owain, the weatherman from Granada TV, who to me appears almost like a scripted caricature.

The roving reporter girl segment is excellent, when they both try their hardest to humiliate the other by catching them out, and each time I'm willing Partridge to come out on top.

I have to say, I think he`s the worse "comedian" there has ever been imo.

I have never laughed or even though he was even mildly amusing.

Same here.
Just don't like him.

Just found it on Facebook. It's amazing. I love Vettel.

Thank god I thought it was just me.

I love Partridge, think he’s one of the greatest British comedy characters ever created. Not seen last night’s episode yet, but looking forward to watching it later. The first series was a bit hit and miss, but with some genuinely brilliant bits (like the Irish Alan Partridge).

I’ve always loved Partridge. He’s created some of the funniest comedy scenes ever IMO.

Last night was more miss than hit. I laughed a few times but wanted it to end.
I’ll give it a go again next week though.

 

[hilts]

Huge fan but it was very poor, couple of laughs in there only. The monk section bad, the media part a repeat of something that was only hit and miss last time, the wedding and ending really bad.

Roving reporter was good.

 

[somapop]

It’s a version of Partridge & somewhat hit and miss.

On the hour/Day Today and Series Two partridge are up there with any great British comedic creation.

This incarnation does veer into the over performed sometimes but still has its moments.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

I thought last night’s had some funny moments but it’ll never be as good without genuinely funny sidekicks like michael or characters like Dan to play off. The thick media guy is a gag that was already stretched thin on the last series

Him and Iannucci no longer write it.

 

[PinkFinal]

This Time with Alan Partridge series two review – welcome back, excruciating agony!

Steve Coogan and the team return in the perfect parody show ‘covering everything! From aqua-aerobics to abortion! From zebras to Zionism!’

Him and Iannucci no longer write it.

That's the answer, if it's poor. Iannucci is brilliant. Not seen it yet.

 

[crublue1]

The bit where he cuts his hand tapping on the window was classic partridge. Little moments like that make it for me.
Still some great comedy in there, but it's no where near as clever or well written anymore. The whole travel lodge series was superb, but it had loads of great characters for alan to bounce off.
This is struggling to work for me on the whole.
I'll still bloody watch it though.

 

[Gabriel]

Trying to pack in too much in the time, but the format being imitated lends itself to that. Probably requires multiple watches to catch everything.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Coogan peaked with his Paul & Pauline Calf characters.

The snidey Rag never thought that the stereotypical loser City supporter would turn right round though.
