Im Alan Partridge ! Reviews

Steve Coogan has produced some great comedy characters over the last few years. I am a huge fan of many of them (including the lovely Pualine Calf) but few of them have the popularity that Alan Partridge has, which continues to be a huge success with high ratings for re runs on digital channels. The character of Alan Partridge is almost ...  Read the complete review

Alan Partridge is a modern day masterpiece/classic/textbook comedy. The slightly dorky Z-list celbrity from Norfolk, who hosts his own radio show and a TV show that has over 8000 viewers has well and truly bouced back. The show revolves around Alan Partridge, played by Coogan, as he attempts to up his profile, or merely preserve it. ...  Read the complete review

First of all, what an absolutely brilliant character to think up, an ageing local radio presenter with a difficulty to tolerate people and stick him in a travel tavern and you've got the makings of a brilliant comedy. Steve Coogan portrays Alan Partridge fantastically well, to the point that you just can't see him in any other show ...  Read the complete review

I'm Alan Partridge is the show that put Steve Coogan on another planet in terms of his fame and the doors opened to him. Steve Coogan plays Alan Partridge who is a radio presenter who is destined to be friendless and alone in the world thanks to his unique ways and cringe worthy comments. Alan is an up and coming star in his own mind whilst to ...  Read the complete review

I'm Alan Partridge - well, I'm glad I'm not, but what a character. In real life, he's the sort of chap you would either love or hate; I'm sure his mother must love him. Played to perfection by Steve Coogan, Alan Partridge is squirmingly embarrassing even when he's attempting to be normal. He is the master at digging himself deeper and ...  Read the complete review

Back in my school days, my best friend and the guy I used to have a crush on always talked about this Alan Partridge fella. Who was he and why did he have so many weird one-liners? I asked my mum what Alan Partridge was and was told that he was a not-so-funny guy who tried to be funny. About 4 years later, I met Phil. Him and his ...  Read the complete review

Two series, in 1997 and 2002 respectively, observed the ups and downs of life for an unsuccessful, arrogant and fairly dull ex-TV personality called Alan Partridge. Played by Steve Coogan, and written by the partnership of Coogan, Armando Ianucci and Peter Baynham, ?I?m Alan ...  Read the complete review

Monday nights at 10PM could have been an empty void when The Office finished a few weeks back. But the BBC pulled another rsbbit out of the hat by bringing back Alan Patridge after a five year break. Could Steve Coogan and Co still bring comedy gold to the table and make Monday nights the best night for comedy on TV. Well JURASSIC PARK! ...  Read the complete review

The re-runs have been doing the rounds on UK Gold for some little time now, reminding us of the cringe-making moments of life with Alan Partridge. The character that he first made (un)popular with Knowing Me Knowing You had fallen upon hard times and been forced to make his way back to the mediocre via the sleazy trappings of the Lynton Travel ...  Read the complete review

Norwich ? what does that conjure up to you? A pretty insubstantial football team who play in canary yellow, a city which is one of the least appealing in the UK or the home of Anglia Television and the Quiz of the Week, the Sale of the Century? Well, it?s a pretty fair bet that these days the first connection you will come up with is the most ...  Read the complete review

Comedy characters usually have quite a short shelf life before becoming tragically unfunny. One-dimensional with one catchphrase, they often start to grate on repeated viewing. Alan Partridge is an exception to the rule, and almost 10 years after coming to the attention of millions, there is still eager anticipation of the new series ...  Read the complete review

I was in the audience at the Episode 5 filming yesterday at the BBC and this is what I thought of it... Having never been at the recording of a TV program before I really did not know what to expect?. You que for a while outside the BBC, they file you through into a small cafeteria area until you get called to the studio. We were ...  Read the complete review

Ok, everyone I know how anxious you are for me to tell you whats in Alan's drawer, but first I'll just take two minutes to tell you what I feel about the series. It has to be one of the best and funniest comedy series I have ever seen, even funnier in my point of view than Mont Python or such like as Faulty Towers. The mini-series in ...  Read the complete review

I'm Alan Partridge is without doubt the funniest and best comedy series ever. It tells the story of a man who has just lost his TV chat show and is now forced to do a graveyard shift on Norwich local radio. He is divorced from his wife and lives in a Travel Tavern (equidistant between Norwich and London). The series contains 6 ...  Read the complete review

The ‘I’m Alan Partridge’ Show is one of those shows that you either love or hate. Personally I love it. This is one of the many aliases of Steve Coogan (other characters include the reporter Dennis Pennis and the hit Latin singer Toni Ferrino). The show looks at the life of a sad Radio Norwich DJ called Alan ...  Read the complete review

You know those comedy programmes, which you find yourself watching over and over again? How ever many times you watch them, they remain hilarious? Well, this is one of those such programmes! It is fantastically funny and stars a range of new and coming comedy actors and actresses. Watch out for appearances by Simon Pegg (Spaced) and Sally Phillips ...  Read the complete review

Hmm, perhaps a bad choice of title. I'm Alan Partridge is by definition the exact opposite of a subject people who enjoyed that book will find amusing. ;) For those unfamiliar with Alan Partridge, I'll give you a short introduction. Played by Steve Coogan, who you may know from his other characters including Paul and Pauline Calf ...  Read the complete review

Steve Coogan's follow up to the magnificant Alan Partridge: Knowing Me Knowing You is even better than the original, which is a bit hard to believe given how funny the first series was. This series follows Alan as he tries to get a new contract to so he can make another sries of his chat show. He is currently working at Radio Norwich on a ...  Read the complete review
