Partridge

Really poor this. The first series was hit and miss but this is wank. It needs to be a bit more subtle and the Simon section needs to be stopped.

Coogan peaked with his Paul & Pauline Calf characters.

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

Coogan loathes football and its whole culture.

He is a Rag but I suspect not an active MIB. See under personal life below.

Rather than rely on Wikipedia, that anyone can write, I choose to believe the man himself. He says he loathes football and it’s yobbish culture and follows no team.

That's spot on. The Office was more subtle as you could genuinely believe in David Brent as someone who you'd come across in a real office. But Partridge is just too OTT to be genuine funny. You cringe for the wrong reasons.

Him and Iannucci no longer write it.

Iannucci is brilliant.
Most of that that day today team were incredible.

This comes nowhere near sadly.

Partridge should be eaten and not watched, open goal for someone that ;-)

Let's face it. Partridge has nosedived since 2002. I've not even watched the last 3 episodes of the first series (which is still on my Sky+ box), yet I'm a HUGE Partridge fan.

The new writers have turned his obnoxiousness (which, to me, was his character) into a bumbling, uncomfortable prat.

Those Fosters sponsored 10 minute internet clips were (to me) unfunny, followed by the dull Mid Morning Matters, a forgettable film, and the equally dull first 3 episodes of series one's This Time.

The only thing worthy of the Partridge name, post 2002, waa the first half of the book "I, Partridge"....the rest of it, pah.

I'd forgotten about Friday, but as the SL season is now running, unless I purposely look for it, Partridge has flown

Nomad and From the Oasthouse are excellent on audible. The descent into madness is brilliantly done.
