The greatest comedian England has produced in my view. Somehow Steve (and let's give credit to his team) have brought a richness to the English language that rivals Dickens. I have listened to the audio book a number of times and just saying it's very funny is insufficient. It's a masterpiece of humor that sparkles with brilliant literary creativity. When I was a child Hancock was the master of this style but unlike Steve he was not comfortable in his creation and in his own skin and never managed to develop his character as Steve has done or find comfort in other genres. Steve has paced himself for years in how he developed Partridge and has distanced himself by taking on other roles. I do think he is our greatest comedian as he has created a character whose longevity is extraordinary and managed to consistently breathe new life into the work. Like Dickens he has brought enormous joy to people over a very long period of time, elevated the medium and reinvigorated our language in the process. Back of the net!
@@jamescoghlan8401 James. I assume we both admire Steve Coogan and particularly his creation of Partridge. Obviously you disagreed with what I wrote. I would love a nice dialogue with you about how you disagree with me. I am not offended by what you wrote but I genuinely would love a decent civilized chat to show me your perspective.
I’m going to put my head above the parapet and say what we’re all thinking. Nay, nay, and thrice nay (for I am a naysayer of which you speak). You Sir, Alan Partridge, are half the broadcaster that Edmunds is, and your jealous and tedious sniping at him must cease. I have read your “book”, and was sickened by your disparaging and catty remarks about the Sainted Noel. Yes, you may both have suffered the misfortune of a shocking and unexpected death in one of your prime time TV shows, but that’s where the similarity ends. To ascend to the level of Edmunds you must not only present a primetime TV show, but also devise a method within it of pricking the pomposity of celebrities through a medium such as the “gotcha”, or Mr Blobby. Only those who have ascended to the top of the celebrity world truly understand its intricacies enough to know when others (I’m thinking of DLT, Chegwin, Carolgees, and many other chancers from days gone by) need taking down a peg or two in front of a prime time Saturday night audience on BBC1. Just thank your lucky stars, Partridge, that Edmunds chose to retire House Party - lest you become the subject of another of Noel’s surgical take-downs of those in public life who deserve it; Chancers, toadies, and those no-marks who’d simply ridden their luck were not safe while Edmunds was policing the world of UK celebrities. I fear that you; a man who, let’s face it, is a contemporary, but not an equal, of the great Lord of Crinkly Bottom himself, would have been royally gunged long ago were it not for bigger targets such as Blair (Lionel), Thatcher (Carol), and May (James) being higher on the hit-list. Oh, and trace away little man. I have the combined might of the Edmunds-massive behind me. I fear not a second-rate broadcaster and his veiled, but ultimately empty, threats.
Ten naysayers have given the WRONG rating.. Or maybe Australian viewers who clicked thumbs up not realising this was a British video - that is how UA-cam works!
I think Partridge is too dark here, you can like the awfulness of "I'm Alan Partridge" but here he's too up himself, quoting great books. I prefer the fool:- "Who are Wings? Only the band The Beatles COULD have been"
"Some are naysayers, some have mental health problems, some are bi polar, some are just frigging idiots and a few want to destroy me through a campaign of niggling online comments." Kind of sums up all of the internet
Don't read it, get the audiobook...read by partridge himself, it is pure class...
Too right. Classic Partridge read by Alan
It is absolutely first class
It absolutely possesses as many first rate qualities as a fleet of Lexi!!!
@@zazuzazz5419 Plural
Nomad is good also.
the unthinkable has happened- i've actually found a unseen alan partridge clip
Text book Alan
I know it’s so hard
Where?
I've actually seen this one.
I've only just found this. Surprised I've never seen it before. Always a good moment when you get a fresh insight into Alan's way of thinking.
Smelly Alan Fartridge! Smelly Alan Fartridge!
That's a funny story.
is that Stephen McCombe?
You’re traceable.
His personal hygiene was never in question
How is the Alan Partridge promo material as high-quality as everything else. There's no cracks in the character.
I, Partridge is a fantastic book - in fact it's textbook - but it's certainly not Bravo 2-0 by Andy McNab, which actually improves with every read.

I think Coogan's laugh just after this bit is genuine, that line was brilliant.
GIVE HIM THE SECOND SERIES!!!!!

You shits!
Richard Dawkins laughed so much, that he started to believe in God. Genius

@@coconutsmarties Lol.
Jill, what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich town centre? I’ll be honest I’m dead against it.
What “Traders will need access to DIX-ons...”
Ha that face he does after he says "you reap what you sow." Perfect!
As chilling as Bill Oddie on a rampage
dawkins - "laughed so much he started to believe in god."
genius.
So how does one pulp Alan's e-book?
Alan seems a little off in this interview. I wonder if he's been on an e.
"You seem preoccupied with criticism"
We are well aware of who you are: For what its worth you are traceable:
Ecstasy pellet.
one hell of a sophisticated guy, this Alan Partrigde
so true
An absolute SOD of a man if you ask me
I heard Shakin' Stevens thought it was "lovely stuff"
12 nay-sayers , unbelievable !
they are traceable..... for what it's worth
Needless to say, I had the last laugh
Un-bloody-believable
Unbe-bloody-lievable
Unbeliev-bloody-able
Hang on Lynn, there's one more...
@@MrEAus I love you
Just started reading the book today. I gotta, lovely stuff.
If you're reading this Alan, you have my permission to use that comment on any re-issues.
One of the best, if not the best clip of partridge ever 🤣 hidden gem, laughed so hard I near had kenco coming out my nose
God I remember reading this in a pub and convulsing with laughter
Alan makes some good points about the Kindle here. I'm actually viewing some hardcore pornography right now, and frankly it's quite distracting.
Alan, were you the voice of one of the Thunderbird pilots, from the Gerry Adams show in the sixties. FAB
I need a gif of Alan's expression after he says "yes" at 4:31
It's not Simon Schama, but neither is it Wally Banter's Junk Box.
I love the story about the stolen credit card and the first class books.
4 dislikes. You People
I just hate the general public.
This country.
Fantastic. Is it mostly ad lib? Funny guy and an impressive actor.
I'm a big fan of Randy Mcnob. Bravo 6 0 is a classic read.

You could swing a cat in here... wouldn't want to though.
Chinaboatman imagine if king arthur had an extender
It's like being in a foxes glacier mint
Coogan's body language and facial expressions are pure genius here.
Here below that talking box........
It's all of those, yet i's none of them... Yet all of them.
Complete Legend.
I laughed so hard when I read the book
“I partridge”. I had kenco coming out of my nostrils !
I'd love to have a game of snooker with Alan Partridge.
Yes!! Its an extender!!
Q. "You seem preoccupied with critics"
A. " Im well aware of who they are: For what its worth they are traceable"
hilarious comedy
If I had cancer and could have only one wish it would be to spend the day with this guy XD
You'd not wish for a full recovery?
+harry bosch Shows how much he completely embodies Alan on screen, the man is a literal genius
+MaX1MuS2k7 he is too comedy what Alan Titschmarsh is to television gardening, i.e., lovely stuff.
Don't track me down Alan... Jurassic Park!
Is the audio version of the book read by Alan himself?
Oh yes.
First Class
Alan P is the funniest character ever and no book ever made me laugh as hard or as often as this one. Lovely stuff :)
Anyone got a battery for an Ericsson????

Yes, great authors, like Andrew McNab.
Alan would be getting his own slot on GB News.
Now I know where Ricky Gervais gets his material.

And this was years before "High Noon" entered the scene.
Funny, that's what most people will have thought when you pointed out that a video with Alan Partridge is meant as comedy.

@Dr Benway M.D Kiss my face
One of the funniest things i've ever pretended to read.
"sorry that sounded like a belch then ... uuuurhhh" haha
This will actually improve with every read.
On a further note, there's a bit of an Alan Partridge in all of us. Stick this into your head.
Why isn't there more of this by Alan 😂🤣
I laughed so much that I started to believe in God.
Needless to say, I had the last laugh!
The book the Bible could've been.
Ryan I think angels77100 may be pulling your leg dude.
Funniest book I have ever read, genius.
Partridge should never own up to watching hard core pornography. Except as a mistake, Lyn, it could happen to anyone.
I love Alan Partridge, but for the joke I feel I have to criticize him so here goes. Jennie was right about your diction.
@willpreeview
I took a chance on it and bought it. Glad i did it's the best audio read ever! Jurassic Park!
@3gmatt1 been listening to it on the way to work every day, dont think ive ever enjoyed an audio book this much
Dont read the book - listen to the audiobook - amazingly read by AP himself

Nay!
Hahahaaa ye tit
I didn't really like his chat show I hadn't heard of any of the guests except roger Moore
Not sure if sarcastic.....or doesn't understand.
+The D.A. Needles to say....I took drugs
You mean to say you've NOT read Alan's classic autobiography - "Bouncing Back" ?! =OD
I want to be absolutely clear that I am NOT a naysayer.
I bought the kindle edition whilst watching this...a viral marketing success Mr Partridge.
trace me, trace me!
@Mickla Same! Haven't listened to anything else since I bought it!
We love you Alan! ....'very Malty...'
There are more than four of us.
And we will prevail.
Just sayin'
Turbo charged Partridge. Classic
Top-tier Partridge
Aye, I reckon it's a really good idea like.
This book was rubbish. I had mine pulped.
Leave him be
Only God can smite him
THIS IS CHEESE! I'VE GOT CHEESE!
they are traceable
Would Alan wear a solid gold Rolex? Maybe ....
He laughed so much he had kenco coming out of his nostrils
I laughed too...but my nostrils remained clear
