..appeared on Jim'll Fix It, was a backing singer on Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys album, went off the grid as a recluse in Stoke, moved to Rochdale & was befriended by Cyril Smith, MP, became a born again Seventh-day Adventist, had a trans-gender op & then it all went wrong - changed his identity & can now be seen scraping a living as a panellist on the Loose Women show.
Acting in this kind of comedy live bit requires enormous talent. And you can't laugh - it would kill the setup. Yes, Coogan & Pegg are brilliant actors. I only wish there would be more major well-scripted films utilizing their talents.
Of course, in the fictional world of Alan Partridge, there will only have been one interview with the Milky Bar Kid, but this will have been witnessed on many occasions by viewers and it is great that it is not the same routine every time, for me watching this the first time there is new material. Good stuff!
I'm pretty sure think this scene is actually originally taken from the 1998 Coogan DVD 'The Man Who Thinks He's It'. Partridge fans seek it out if you haven't seen it, it's gold!
You can tell how old someone is by how they pronounce Nestlé when singing the jingle. In the '70s they just pronounced it Nestle. But from the '80s onwards it was Nestlé.
In the day it was "ness-uls" milky bar, their logo is a bird in a nest as well, so that pronunciation fits. Oddly though they pronounce a-dee-das instead of addy-dass and nothing is said.
Alan's Fact of The Day... The guy playing the policeman also played a policeman in series one of I'm Alan Partridge. Another one of those same time tomorrow.
when he started crying I knew alan was gonna start singing haha, but I would if thought it would if been funnier if he slowly placed a little milky bar in his knee to try lighten the mood lol
TRUE FACT😮I Recognised Norman Esnay in a pub about 7 years ago.he played the neighbour of George Roper in George and Mildred.in the programme his son went on to be the Real milky bar kid off that advert and they’re still friends and in touch.I was a proper tv geek as a child and my wife was impressed I recognised him.he was same age as me Norman infiorned me and I’m 52 on 27/09/2022.sorry to bore you but it’s true 😂
Is there really people watching this clip thinking Alan Partridge is a real journalist and that Simon Pegg is the Milky bar kid and not another comic! This is more hilarious that the fucken original clip!
***** not trolling, i was just surprised you thought i was serious so thought id carry on with it for a bit !! cant be arsed now though. You know steve coogan did the advert for cambells meat balls ?
My mate has always maintained that the 1970's Milky Bar kid was his cousin and his name is Wayne King. 35 yrs later and he still insists. I thought the name Wayne King was a comedy name but he swears its true.
John Newton Could be. He told me about 35 yrs ago. But Im sure it was King. Anyway my son used to go to school with a lad called Mark Hunt..true. His parents must be evil.
I wonder if it turned out darker than they'd intended. I think getting someone as recognisable as Pegg helps, we know none of it is true. There's a risk of making Alan seem too inhumane, but in a live stage show I think it doesn't matter so much.
The thing is, if Alan was a real journalist, he could have turned this into a Pulitzer prize worthy interview. He thinks he is, but he's not. He's a breakfast DJ, only interested in the twee. That's the genius of the character - he wants to be a serious journalist but he isn't. So when faced with serious interviewees, he has no idea what to do.
In England we had an expression called 'darky'. It's not an expression I used unless ironically , but it was around. I just called a black person a black person. I used to sing 'the darky bar kid'. I always thought the adverts were racist, both against white people and black people. The hair matched the chocolate obviously. I preferred dark chocolate anyway. And to make it stranger it was a white chocolate bar, so in common with dark chocolate, it had no milk. Maybe the advert helped inspire the changed attitudes in society 40-60 years later 😂😂. It certainly annoyed a few people! Me included
I knew the guy that played the Milky Bar kid in the 80s, and the truth is actually more tragic than this. He's a Man Utd fan from Sussex.
haha
It's worse than that. He went on to form the Village People, hit the drink & drugs big time & Cliff Richard turned him round.

I read that in alans voice - awesome :)
Lol.

NEXUS MINDWARPED AMERICA. Need context really otherwise it's just 'REFERENCE HAHAHA'
Lmfao, can't get enough of partridge, I only wish we could have im Alan partridge season 3,my favourite ever comedy show,genius 😁
Hope Nestle are proud of themselves. The poor man, this is tragic
+tom richardson Err.. it's an act. It's Simon Pegg, comedian!
Chris Walsh but it's not funny. His life sounds awful.i for one won't be buying Milky a Bars ever again. It's going to have to be Caramacs all the way
At last someone with a brain 😄
Chris Walsh..."Jesus Christ"
+Chris Walsh Thats funny as fuck Chris, nice one.
Beautiful British comedy. That fine line between comedy and tragedy. The ‘chaps from an Adidas bag’ got me 😂
How they do this live keeping a straight face i'll never know
There are moments where you can see both of them are trying so hard not to crack up
Easy to keep a straight face when something not funny.
No idea what you are talking about. This is a truly sad story. Fame can be so fleeting and a harsh mistress.

Partridge was a great journalist. Timeless.
Of course, in the fictional world of Alan Partridge, there will only have been one interview with the Milky Bar Kid, but this will have been witnessed on many occasions by viewers and it is great that it is not the same routine every time, for me watching this the first time there is new material. Good stuff!
I just took a total laughing fit there , outstanding stuff!!
Partridges facials are outstanding , can make you laugh like crazy with just a look
It's fucking disgraceful how that poor milky bar kid was dealt with
This is absolutely fantastic. Superb.
Oh my, I don't think I've laughed so much for years.
"The milky bars are on me"
.
"You can trust me... uh... Milky."
"JONATHAN!"
"Yeah whatever." XD
I'm pretty sure think this scene is actually originally taken from the 1998 Coogan DVD 'The Man Who Thinks He's It'. Partridge fans seek it out if you haven't seen it, it's gold!
Such talent, this is why I got into theatre
the irony here is that steve coogan had a serious cocaine addiction at the time
I think he'd used most of it before this show, he's off his baps here.
In 2005? I’m sure it was a lot earlier than that.
@d That's made by slaves at gun point.
@@giggadygoogog thanks for your work, keep it coming.
Needles to say, he took drugs.
Can’t remember seeing Simon Pegg advertising Milky Bars in the 70s. 😂😂😂😂

Will Man it can only ever be “Nessles”. Hehe (yeah. Kid from the 70’s here!)
It's not Consignia and Scope, it's Royal Mail and The Spastics Society.
David James would you still use that word if you had a disabled child?
@@renhoek3851 a lot of people with disabled kids have used the words, it didn't used to be offensive. It's an archaic medical term, not a slight.
I'm unhappy with the pronunciation of Adidas here as I am with the pronunciation of Nike to rhyme with bike
Fantastic and professional ,Steve coolant is head and shoulders above the current circuit .
I love how how he says it like the English verb "nestle"
bravetherainbow it used to be called that back in the day
@@Forestgravy90 We've always said it that way in Australia.
emma harrington oooooh mince
The adverts in the seventies used that pronunciation.
In the day it was "ness-uls" milky bar, their logo is a bird in a nest as well, so that pronunciation fits. Oddly though they pronounce a-dee-das instead of addy-dass and nothing is said.
I will Never think of a milky bar in the same way again.
Alan's Fact of The Day...
The guy playing the policeman also played a policeman in series one of I'm Alan Partridge.
Another one of those same time tomorrow.
Crab Stick's... The shocking truth
I'm so used the comic relief version of this sketch that it's not as good, but it's so much better quality than the other clip on UA-cam.
Just brilliant! Love how awkward it gets.
Alan must have given the researcher on his staff a real bollocking after this. Made him look very unprofessional in the interview.
Liquid comment!
+Adam Barnes I would suggest it is you that doesn't get it
He lowered Lynn's salary to 8 grand a year
JPaul C tell you what telll you what it's 9 and a half thousand pounds :)
You are a spastic dickhead
He's being bawdy, enjoy it
Did you have relations with that woman?

Comedy genius Steve Coogan
Was that really Steve coogan???
Nah, the real Steve Coogan is a dick
An enviable lifetime of white chocolate endorsement ahead of him and yet he throws it all away !
That was liquid comedy!
Thanks for putting this up I haven't seen this in ages much appreciated
What a harrowing story. I’ll never be able to look at a milky bar the same way again. “ After they finished I said the catch phrase “ classic 😂
This is certainly incredibly dark, but I love this kinda stuff. :p
kinda milky
I bet you do
They did the gay talk bit on an old show in the 90's, a classic haha.
I think it was comic relief. Brilliant sketch then, and now.
I knew someone who knew one of the Australian Milky Bar Kids, and...yeah, quite similar to this.
Simon Pegg does look like the Milky Bar Kid
Simon Pegg's acting is actually to good for the sketch.
Too
Nah...he is the same in everything.

Is there really people watching this clip thinking Alan Partridge is a real journalist and that Simon Pegg is the Milky bar kid and not another comic!
This is more hilarious that the fucken original clip!
@04:12 mispronouncing Nestlé, in the audiobook Alan would have written "Nestle, Nest-le or Nestlé..."
no way didnt know simon pegg was the milky bar kid !! you live and learn.
***** you calling Alan a fibber !?
***** i dont believe you, neither simon nor alan would lie to us like that !
***** nah ive just watched an old advert its deffo him.
***** not trolling, i was just surprised you thought i was serious so thought id carry on with it for a bit !! cant be arsed now though. You know steve coogan did the advert for cambells meat balls ?
Ethan Johnson you're right Steve Coogan did make the advert for cambells meatballs and they used his Mum's homemade recipe for the sauce.
My mate has always maintained that the 1970's Milky Bar kid was his cousin and his name is Wayne King. 35 yrs later and he still insists. I thought the name Wayne King was a comedy name but he swears its true.
lol I bet he is still Wayne King to this day.. like you and I
sure its not wayne kerr?
John Newton Could be. He told me about 35 yrs ago. But Im sure it was King. Anyway my son used to go to school with a lad called Mark Hunt..true. His parents must be evil.
Thom B
I honestly knew a bloke that went in our pub name of Leslie behan
John Newton hahaha. The poor sod. Then again who am I to judge...my real name is Shirley.
His feathers were dripping
Simon Pegg and Steve Coogan BBC comedy legends
There were six Milky Bar kids. The first one was Terry Brooks from 1961 - 1966.
Simon and steve are just to good
Lovely stuff
This will never.ever be shown on mainstream tv EVER again.
The arse bandits would have a leakage!!
Fuck off charlie.
You’re an idiot charlie
I don't mean poppers.....
lol you have my name. name twins bro.

"you can trust me milky"
That was a GOAL.
Love how he pronouces Nestle
Lovely stuff.
Jonathan Pearce? Isn't that the guy who did voiceover on Robot Wars?
This kid Simon Pegg was good in this sketch. I wonder what became of him?
Still looking for some swans I think.
It is actually "The creamiest milk, the Whitest bar, the goodness that's in milkbar, aha!
true that....this is hysterically funny ...brilliant
One of the milky bar kids was actually a alcholic later on in life
Coogan......years ahead of Gervais.
Ooo i dunno, i reckon those 2 are on par tridge! Eh?

There's no comparison - Gervais isn't an impressionist, is he?

Im not sure what you mean...impressions?
Absolute gold
The Joker was heavily inspired but the end of this interview.
'you can trust me, uhh... milky' absolutely cracked me up
a blast from the past :-)
So from Adverts for Milky Bars to working in a fudge factory out the back, packing.
I actually think there's a fake laughter added at 1:47 (!)
I just realised that's Simon Pegg!
i love how they thought "simon pegg will never amount to much so we don't have to worry about this"
MrTomosa they didn't think that. Him and Steve coogan had worked together before this, they were friends.
No, nothing like that, Coogan was just lucky enough to use him before he became publically recognisable.
@@samuelwoods164 this is 2005 Pegg was well known. But not when they originally did the sketch
I am quite sure that the lyrics were, the creamiest milk, NOT the milkiest milk, but it might be an intentional mistake.
i am tripping the light fantastic HAHAHA
The Milky bars are on me!!! lol
someones just finished lol
I wonder if it turned out darker than they'd intended. I think getting someone as recognisable as Pegg helps, we know none of it is true. There's a risk of making Alan seem too inhumane, but in a live stage show I think it doesn't matter so much.

Nestle was always and still is Swiss company . The British adopted an English way of pronouncing it like it was a British company.
Cheers!
That Simon Pegg!!
Well. That's where Simon Pegg came from!
Yes he was The Milky Bar Kid as a child actor.
Very good :)
The last 6mins or so also from a red nose day with these two. '96 or '97 i think.
I think the red nose day thing was close to when they were touring with this.
The thing is, if Alan was a real journalist, he could have turned this into a Pulitzer prize worthy interview. He thinks he is, but he's not. He's a breakfast DJ, only interested in the twee.

😂 STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS
Milky Bars are available from Rawlinson's
Lmao the Milky Bar kid looks like Simon Pegg!
Pegg breaks down so partridge sings the milky bar song again aha
Cheese, I've got cheese!

I used to have a bf who looked like Simon pegg as the milky bar kid. Ending sex by finishing on his face he would say the milky bars are on me thing.
