Maybe the funniest 5 minutes anywhere on UA-cam! Rebecca Front is hot, the arrangements are superb, and I love the way that Partridge skips after the medley finishes. One of his rare successes !
Inside Alan's universe, this has got to be the high point of his career! I love how, from 4:00 onwards in the Dancing Queen sequence, there are people in the studio audience who are almost screaming with laughter.
Also, I wonder if this is another example of what Mark Kermode talked about in his review of Pierce Brosnan's "singing" in Mamma Mia: ABBA songs are so unbreakably, unkillably brilliant that even a terrible rendition of them is still, somehow, enormously entertaining.
You had a temper like my Alan Partridge. Four British isles breakfast, irish offended. How could you leave me Lynn, when I needed you? I hated you! I loved you too. Bad dreams in the night, toblerone chasing after me... Lynn, it's me Alan, meet in the hotel. They're laughing at me don't let me be a widoooooowwww
Alan was signed up to the BBC with a 5 year conetract after Tony Hayers died. (His successor also died and Alan forged his signature). It's not clear if he actually did the second series of KMKYWAP, which would have been in the same fictional time-line as the second series of "I'm Alan Partridge" .
He got a Christmas special, I think... That could have been before this. But he sort of ended the series in a way that would cause it to end, if that makes sense. This whole show is a parody, and Steve Coogan is playing a part. The character kills someone in the final episode. You wouldn't give the character another series. I think...
Can’t listen to voulez-vous without going
a-HA! in my head
learning french is impossible now
Always rather fancied Rebecca Front but she looks absolutely gorgeous here. Oh, and she's also a very talented actress, writer and comedienne.
My crush
SHE'S REALLY FUCKING SEXY.
I first saw Rebecca in "The Thick of It" - she's still stunning 20 years after KMKY.
Alans face when he realizes he is holding her slightly higher above her waist than he should be.Absolutely priceless.
Rebecca Front had lot of different characters and does them brilliantly.
She's brilliant.
One of the finest comedy performances of the 90s
What I would give to see Alan Partridge and Richard Madeley do a medley together, it would be priceless
It would be a Madeley, not a medley.
Never gets less funny. It really is top drawer
Alan's finest moment. And Rebecca Front ❤️❤️❤️
MAMMA MIA HERE I GO AGAIN!
Maybe the funniest 5 minutes anywhere on UA-cam!
Rebecca Front is hot, the arrangements are superb, and I love the way that Partridge skips after the medley finishes. One of his rare successes !
"In off the pink" level of top comedy.
After all these years it is still just as funny....funniest five minutes on television.
Technically, just over 3.
Eightiesboy uhhhh the video is 5:06 so they might well think it’s the funniest 5 mins... in fact we don’t have to guess, they’ve already told you!
Inside Alan's universe, this has got to be the high point of his career! I love how, from 4:00 onwards in the Dancing Queen sequence, there are people in the studio audience who are almost screaming with laughter.
Can't believe this was done in the first take. Classic British comedy!
Coogan is a fucking genius
You mean he's a genius. The 'F' word is completely unnecessary. Hopefully, you've come to realise that during the last five years.
Awfully sorry, this chap is damn good, a jolly good chap. Is that fucking better?
@@jamesfirth2392 Ah, I see your mouth and your brain are still in the gutter! Obviously, if you had a brain cell it would soon die of loneliness!
This alone deserves an award
Her glance at his watch and the look on her face, just brilliant and yet it took me a few views to even see it!
I've watched this dozens of times over the last 25+ years and I've never noticed that before - too fixated on Alan's face! Thanks for pointing it out!
I just had the most painful fit of laughter after MAMMA MIA, HERE I GO AGAIN!!" part and I loved every second of it
Also, I wonder if this is another example of what Mark Kermode talked about in his review of Pierce Brosnan's "singing" in Mamma Mia: ABBA songs are so unbreakably, unkillably brilliant that even a terrible rendition of them is still, somehow, enormously entertaining.
I'm crying with laughter! He reminds me of myself.
Is that.... The former secretary of state at DoSAC?!
Nice!
awesome....and that lady is sooooooo cute
Rebecca Front
One of the funniest sketches ever.
The best of many great Alan Partridge moments
Haha! I love the way it all morphs into "Summer Nights" at the very end ...brilliant! 4:50
I remember the first time I watched that "take a chance chance" bit, I couldn't get out my chair through laughing so hard, absolutely brilliant!
You had a temper like my Alan Partridge. Four British isles breakfast, irish offended. How could you leave me Lynn, when I needed you? I hated you! I loved you too. Bad dreams in the night, toblerone chasing after me... Lynn, it's me Alan, meet in the hotel. They're laughing at me don't let me be a widoooooowwww
Waterloo-oo-ooo, knowing me, knowing youuuu-A-Haaaaaaa
Perfect finish!
No you're not....not boring.....Partridge and Brent do the awkward silence thing so well!!
Absolutely fantastic!
SO I SAY thank u for the music
Rebecca Front has some talent.
Drop dead gorgeous here.
Stunning
I bet Alan was chuffed to buggery after that. That was brilliant!
Why did the communists at the BBC not give him a second series?
jarsonist Possibly because he wasn't a perverted paedophile & they saw him as a liability to their sordid little secret

Didn't he do a 2nd series just a few years back but It wasn't quite to to the same standard
That's one of the biggest "what ifs" in television history.
Because it was Tony Hayers. Then it was that guy who died at his desk... maybe the smell of his cheese caused him to fall off the roof...
ALAN! ALANALANALANALANALANALAN!!!!!!!!
The prequel to "Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan!"
