You could say Alan has not just evolved, but.... revolved.
👏🏼”lovely stuff”
Alan: I loved that phrase you used, it was very clever -- "revolution not evolution".
Tony: No, it was the opposite. "Evolution not revolution".
Alan: Well, whatever. Because that is me. I evolve, but I don't ....... revolve. Or vice-versa. I suppose what you're trying to say is, you don't want another Chris Evans on your hands.
Tony: No, that is what we want.
Alan: I'm your man!
Ah ha
I've seen the big eared boys on farms.
@@apukdcfc76 can I just shock you? I like wine. Despite what I said earlier. At any one time I have nine bottles of wine in my house.
Partridge has and always will be my favourite comic character. So much depth to his content, feels like Christmas every time there’s something new. Can’t wait for this time series 2. Thanks Al!
Absolutely. I think I have religiously watched or listened to something AP based at least once every week for the past decade. If I am feeling glum Alan perks me up, always.
Dutch fan here, who has been following and enjoying AP since the very beginning. When I heard sports presenter Alan Partridge in On the Hour, I liked the character immediately. AP forever!
GOALLLLLLL
I'm Batman!
It's always nice when an interviewer is knowledgeable about the subject and is also more interested in his guests than (unlike many other interviewers) himself. Some great questions too.
I enjoyed how the presenter is so respectful and polite, always let the cast speak. It's interesting to hear Susannah talk about how comedy is done by 'feel', as in you'll do the same scene 10 times, maybe on the 11th take you'll know when it felt right and you got it! Looking forward to S2
Chaka Brah!!!!!!!!! Needles (sic) to say I like your channel :)
There's Jay!
Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Oh he's not seen me. I'll catch him later..... Jaaaaay!
Cant wait for OOC's review
Scissord Isle review coming soon you knackers?
Yep just to pitch in and reiterate how excellent you were as an interviewer here!
Alan Partridge has got me through some very dark & difficult times over the years. One of the greatest comedy characters the world, let alone the UK has ever produced, and we have produced some of the greats over & over.
Was anyone else disappointed when Steve said he had a "Eureka" moment? Surely it was an A-HA moment.
It was great the way Steve did the whole zoom call with no trousers on 🤣
Very true execpt for Steve's trousers.
I loved that they showed us the oasthouse in the opening titles of series 2! Love when they pull the world together like that
When Alan eventually falls from grace at the Beeb, I'll be watching him pick up the pieces and resaddle himself. Big time or small time, Alan will always be the right time.
Coogan is a legend and his Stan Laurel was brilliant
Brining back Beasley and Cheeky was just legend.
Susannah is such a great addition to the Partridge cast. Gratified to see Steve Coogan paying tribute to the difficult job she has of reacting to Alan's nonsense, but not over-reacting. Sidekick Simon has an easier job in many ways because he's also a bit of a bumbling character (albeit sweeter than Alan), but Jenny has to be the solid professional stuck with The Worst person and to keep it all in.
Also, fun fact for the gamers, Susannah voiced Shani in The Witcher 3.
I thought series 1 of This Time was flawless. I loved the way the format kept the tension right on in real time right up close to Alan the whole time, with him having no place to hide and the camera always on him. I thought it was brilliant, you could see how much work they put into every moment, how well thought out it all was. I love how it’s all in the performance, because there is not a regular story to carry it.
His co host is brilliant in it. And the showbiz correspondent who keeps telling Alan he is wrong is superb. Really great, and impressive that after so many years of making different shows they are at their peak now.
The sentence Alan gives in this new trailer.. “if you’ve got time, then it’s high time, to give This Time your time...” is a good omen of what’s to come
What is even funnier than Alan's reaction to the raw egg in the cocktail, is the fact that he thought that a poached egg would ever be in a cocktail! So many genius moments is both seasons.
Thanks for that great bowler hat, chat. That was textbook.
I've watched Alan so much I've become Jed.
And when I bumped into Steve Coogan in an Edinburgh nightclub (and followed him around) some years ago I couldnt help but shout "Steve" as if I knew him for him to turn around to hear me shout
AH HA !!!
He nearly thumped me after the 7th time.
Needless to say...
I had the last laugh
But did you show him your tattoo that took 14 hours and caused you to faint 3 times?
You big mentalist 😂
I'd have to shout "Partridge you wanker"
🙋🏻👍🏻
Needles to say?
(I’m wearing my gilette as I write this)
What nightclub was it?
This was so good. I’m a huge Alan partridge and Steve coogan fan! I was delighted when I saw this had been put up! Thank you 🙏
Disappointed the interviewer didn't cut Steve off saying "SHH SHH SHH SHH SHH SHH... I've never done five" while attempting to stack pens.
Very few comedy creations are consistently funny like our Alan :)
I can never touch meat until it's cooked. As a youth I used to weep in butchers' shops.
I'm in love with Susannah after seeing this. I'd say it's a teenage crush but I'm in my mid-late 50's!
Either way you're going to end up with a restraining order against you
Enjoyed this a lot, nice to hear the stories behind This Time. Excellent interviewer.
Splendid and tremendous
When I first saw Partridge in the early nineties or late eighties. I didn’t realise it was a joke. I was used to seeing my mum watching Wogan .
I like how he went on to specifically name the diverse studio staff 😂
and even funnier, they are standing in the wrong order! only noticed that on my third watch!
LOL that got me too
Director says of Alan "as a middle class white presenter he knows that he's going to become irrelevant" - BBC employees acknowledging the zeitgeist prevailing in their corporation.
Thanks BFI and look forward to your reopening in May!
Nice one, brilliantly awesome interview with the team, brilliant interviewer as well 😀👍
'He went on to make travel lodges cool again.' now let's get one thing clear my man,Alan has done many things in his time but one thing he has not or never will do is make anything 'cool again'.
He deserves credit for letting us in on the big plate scam
Wasn't it filmed in a Travel Tavern, I always stay in Travel Taverns now when away on business.
Their no longer just sordid little grief holes
A season 2?! YES!!!
Alan Partridge, a name you can trust.
Lovely stuff
Superb. First class.
Poor Lynn, she’s never reached her ambition of meeting Benjamin Netanyahu come true.
What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?
Hotter than the sun!
Can't stop laughing at the plants scene with the monks 🤣🤣🤣
Susannah is a comedy treasure..
Kudos.👏👏👏✌👑
There will come a point where there will be no difference between Steve and Alan, a complete merge , the more older and bitter steve gets he will turn into alan 😄🥰
Couldn't be more different my man.
Alan likes the royal family , the daily mail. ("possibly the best new paper in the world ") and the torries.
Look up Steve Coogan view on any of the above .
Bring back Michael the Geordie!!
Watched this for 31 minutes until I realised it was not The One Show ?
i love the way coogan over emphasises his mancucian vowels
I don't. Because Alan is from Norfolk not Manchester and Steve has taken to altering Alan's voice so drastically he doesn't sound like Alan anymore. Original Alan didn't have the stupid affectations that this one does.
@@nudisco300 To be fair, they do explain that. Partridge isn't a sketch character from 30 years ago. He's basically a living and breathing person now. And I wouldn't say the change is "drastic" anyway.
@@nudisco300 I grew up in Norfolk, and moved to Manchester. Pretty much 20 years in both places. Steve has not altered Alan's voice drastically. If anything it's become *less* cartoon-like in its evolution from the "wacky slow enthusiastic" sports presenter from On The Hour.
Sue Cooks pulled out...
Morning Coogan, ahaaaa!
39 dislikes. How does that happen when presumably only serious fans will want to watch something like this? Did 39 people sit through it and think, 'nah, I don't like this lot, whoever they are. What else is on UA-cam...'?
Susannah Fielding is stunning
Tony Hayers must be spinning in his polyurethane based lacquer coffin.
The Irish look a likie was spot on pure comic genius
it was brilliant and considering brexit it was ballsy thing to do as very few of the audience knew the history of Come on ye black and tans
Hopefully the cold ending of Series 1 of This Time between Alan and Jenny is explained, given how the first episode of Series 2 acts like nothing ever happened.
Agreed I hope its given a bit of explaining as to what went on in that meeting, what is clear from the first episode of series 2 is Alan and Jenny still hate eachother as theres a lot of sly digs they both manage to get in
I'm sure he'll explain it one day ( in his own version of events)
It's subtly touched on. It's been two years, she seems less comfortable with him on air and totally ignores him when they're waiting for the next live segment. I'd say that's a realistic way to approach the relationship between two well paid, "professional" presenters. Also, one of the writers hints there's more to come.
I can’t help wishing that the character would have stopped evolving after the 2nd series (petrol station / static home) of I’m Alan Partridge. But there you go.
Can't have a character stay the same for years. Would be silly to keep him in that head space forever. Needs to keep evolving
no it was revolve not evolve
"Thanks all for coming. Unfortunately we've run out of time for any of you to say anything"
guess who's big in the backtime?!?!?
4:24 I know he is being honest, but all I can hear is Partridge nervously lying. XD
Tom Spockley? When?
@Simon Simon the string back just gives a bit of extra purchase.
Does anyone know why he doesn’t want to mention the lager company, fosters, by name?
"Ahaaaa!"
that overlap is increasing as the years go by 😄😆😆🤣😄🤣 evident
Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Zoom meetings are perfect for Steve/Alan:
Someone else: Blah blah blah blah....new iteration of Alan...blah blah...certainly ego-free...blah blah... was truly a godsend...blah blah blah
Steve/Alan: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot ham
Use a sausage as a breakwater.
OFF!
@@brimleyhillmassive ...but I'm nitpicking
As a gen X-er who followed Coogan's work through the '90s, I, and many of my generation will recall the original series (plural) with abiding affection. Every week down the pub we'd be discussing the last episode. The characters of Lynne, Michael and, latterly, Sonia, were the icing on a very big cake, and the result was a creation greater the sum of its parts that had a je ne sais quoi which reduced us to tears of laughter. There were even moments where you felt the poignance of Alan's loneliness, like the traffic cone theft scene, followed by his late-night radio shift, where the episode plays out to the strains of Go West. It was a work of comic genius. But comedy has changed, and as such I do not believe the same/new formula of Alan has been working over the past decade or so. It's been hard to pinpoint why it hasn't. You want to laugh, and there are funny moments, but much of it falls flat and feels over-done to me. I personally find Steve as Alan funniest when he's not trying too hard to BE Alan. He so naturally exudes the character and has such an expressive face that he's funniest when he's sulking, saying things under his breath to himself, doing and saying ordinary things, or literally saying nothing whilst conveying his character's private low self-esteem and innate awkwardness. Less is more, and in an era when the knaffly self-conscious over-explaining of jokes has become the new 'funny', how do you reimagine a character who was originally funny for those very reasons at a time when no one else was doing it? It's only my opinion, but i think Alan in his 'This Time' incarnation has almost become a parody of his original character. Even so, i think he could still be very funny if he stopped trying so hard to get it right.
Mind that windmill!
Oh paper, paper paper paper
There's something about the smell of a book, isn't there?
I wonder Steve Coogan has changed Alan's speaking voice - rolling the 'r' on the word 'right' in 'to my right'. I noticed it in the first series of This Time... I sort of wish he hadn't.
Where's Dan?
Who wrote the fiction it is based on, the time-travelling agents of time and the matrix - can't remember the title...
Why is Steve so sour on Fosters?
Dan! Dan! Dan!…….Daaaaaan!
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
“These are sex people Lynn!!”
Saw an interview with the actor who plays Dan. He says people still shout Dan at him everyday lol
Stop getting Partridge wrong.
Alan isn't what he used to be.
Agree! But most people don't seem to think so.
Fresh as an egg salad
What you're saying is you don't want another Chris Evans on your hands
Kiss my face!
moderator is great
Mid morning matters is the best by far. Should of kept him on the radio. It was perfect!!
Guess who's big in the back time..
why would anyone give this a thumbs-down? Comedy Gods in our midst!
HAYERS family members can't stand to see him back on the BBC
Not that old cliche... The musicality of the scene... Oh lovie, who u been talking to... Noel cowered??? Haha.
Norwich’s finest AH HA
Well, this new series like the previous one didn't reach a titter for me. I gave up half way thru on the last series & this looks the same sadly. The Partridge is just treaded water & needs to be dispatched forthwith.
I totally agree Bill, but it looks like we're outnumbered!
Bungalow Bill, I totally agree. Alan P didn't raise one laugh in our household. We think he's well past his sell by date. Didn't find the programme funny at all. Used to be a huge A P fan but just won't watch the rest of the series.
Same here i managed 5 minutes then had to change channels. Caught it 10 minutes later where some incompetent bloke could not use a large screen to look at e mails and phone calls. Did not find it funny at all and can not see why this is apparently so popular
Curse of the BBC: the jokes are weak, it was the same thing with the film that had all this money thrown at it but still wasnt very good. These BBC execs going on about how great they are and the pandemic and how much social distancing has been achieved don't realise that they are the very thing that AP used to take the p*ss out of. But its been an issue for a while - Coogan gave acting roles to his BBC insider mates Ianucci and Marber in previous series and whilst the script they'd worked on was good their acting was terrible but I doubt anyone dared say that. But then thats the BBC hierachy, totally up its own ar*e it seems.
I think This Time is great, along with all the other Gibbons Bros contributions to the Partridge canon, but fair enough, it's a different type of humour to the early stuff.
They should never have killed off Michael.
Where's Alan Partridge? It's just a load of people talking.
Agree.
0:19 - aaaahhh, ladyboys!
Tell me about the ladyboys
Never found Alan Partridge appealing. But as I’ve got older and matured, not like cheese though, I’ve discovered his manner is now much like mine. I easily do inappropriate gestures, the odd half Nazi salute at the deli counter in Tesco as way of a thank you and saying cringing comments making a person feel extremely awkward. Growing old with Alan seems more appealing now……
How on ell did u get Coogan on ur podcast.. This guy NEVER turns up on any docus or commentarys... He done one commentary with Lynn and that was as Alan (obv as with Lynn).. He never talks about this... U must be privolidged.
I have to congratulate Steve Coogan on making a career out of what was just a minuscule section of The Day Today. It is getting just a bit repetitive now though......
the new show is sadly not very good, quite poor writing, awkward acting, and the live tv format doesn’t work.
This is more partridge than partridge
Love Alan, and quite like This Time,
but am yet to laugh at a Sidekick Simon gag.
Trouble with Mr. Coogan is u can never tell whether he is talking as himself or slipped into Alan mode.. I think his Alan is MORE like him than he credits himself for, even tho that would make him cringe.. Lol. Haha.
The first series fell a bit flat for me so hope this series is more back to form.
Agree, but we seem to be in the minority.
Alan feels like the easiest character to write for.
Ohhhhh she’s nicer than my wife
She is utterly spunkworthy
Just not “evolved” but “revolved”
Had to stop watching this almost, immediately: almost starting believing partridge isn't a real person,, away to listen to nomad (again).
Stick to Laurel.
Coogan's real personality is more pretentious than Alan
I loved the original Alan Partridge with Michael, Lynn et al. Sorry, guys but dont find This Time funny at all, just doesn't make me laugh like it did years ago.
I can appreciate both for what they are and I'm just thankful for new Alan content. The quality relative to other comedy is still really high. I can't get over how much there is to unpack in the Oasthouse audio book or I, Partridge. It's unbelievable how they have created such a life for him over 30 years
I agree. Not a patch on earlier episodes.
