@@KingKong-do8cj No, the later Toblerone breakdown - which began with him driving to Dundee in his bare feet - happened during 2000 and 2001. The aftermath was depicted in the second series of _I'm Alan Partridge_ in 2002, and he also wrote about it in 'Bouncing Back' and 'I, Partridge.'
This is a genial showing from Partridge, arguably the greatest of all. Going off the rails...losing it. Coogan really is a magnificent comedy performer
@@roblinnbailey2359 oh come on, that's like saying someone who sets up the tightrope equipement is far more talented than the man guy who walks across it. Besides, Coogan co writes.
These segments are arguably the best Partridge's of all time. I've seen them all. I've laughed a lot, too much, if there is such a thing! I can honestly say, hands down, this is the video that brings me most joy. It's Alan, it's classic, It's live, It's hilarious, Michael's in it, sorry, Charity Charlie. Enjoy, but most of all give. Give to the poor ones not laughing. Laugh, but remember those not laughing. Just something to think about.
It holds up well even to me as a 24 year old born in 1995. Up the quality and I would assume this was produced this year easily. 1979 still seems like the stone age to me though haha
His mannerisms, tics and faux-pas looks are out of this world. So glad he made them all really his own, whether it's in IAP, MMM, TT, KMKY or whatever he's yet hopefully to appear in. It doesn't stale one single iota (or iotas - or exi, for that matter)!
I wonder if he charged comic relief for that glow up between radio Norwich and the BBC studios Probably needed wardrobe to have a go at his weave after the buffering from the helicopter. Really makes you think!
yes it would be superb. Did you catch Kate and rowan atkinson - ua-cam.com/video/bwG5AqZih8I/v-deo.html ? - my favourite female vocalist - freddie being my fave male vocalist.
There are those rare things in comedy (although my listing further on makes it appear they're not that rare at all), where you can watch, watch and re-watch a bit without tiring in the least, even laughing more and more each time round. The Simpsons, OFAH, Family Guy, Blackadder, Reginald Perrin, Dad's Army etc., but almost all of Partridgiana is the absolute and very top! All hats off, Mr. Coogan (and Ianucci, Baynham and Gibbons)!
Thank you for uploading the full version of this ... a heavily edited version appeared on one of the Partridge DVDs (cut presumably because of rights issues with the music).
On the original when Alan goes Into he studio to do the medley he asks the taxi driver to waive the fee for comic relief. When the Taxi driver says no Alan turns round waves his fist and says Y greedy bastard.
Laura Caskey and also, on I'm Alan Partridge he used to say that she was 54 when talking about her running off with a younger man, a sports instructor. So the maths may work.
Ricky Gervais is such a genius he inspired much better comedians to come up with original material so he could rip off for Americans to lose there minds to.
An interesting comparison between myself and Alan is that we both live in 5 bedroom detached houses with extending tables. I’m not boasting it’s just a fact.
Yes some classic AP here had not seen this, brilliant! (to Brian Ferry re Michael) "he's a geordie like yourself, but you've sort of ironed out the creases...."
Classic, pre-Toblerone-breakdown Alan. Back of the net.
1999, wasnt this post toblerone breakdown? Think his breakdown was 1996 in between his firing from television and the first series? :)
@Frogsquatch Mk IIThey're all on the BBC gravey train!

Cash back
I think Alan has got better with age.
Best thing I’ve experienced since Gary Wilmotts wedding.
I came here for the Kate Bush medley and Alan did not disappoint.

This feels like a dry run for Midmorning Matters. Just Alan waffling at length. Pure Partridge gold
Partridge is the king of awkward comedy. And the way he stitched up Carol was brilliant!
Never seen this before - it's quality Partridge, especially when he's making a balls of it and fluffing his lines. Just brilliant
Chris Feathers died.
Gevais and Merchant are very good at creating a character like this but Coogan is the absolute master.
With a bit of help from Armando Ianucci...........
David Brent is funny but honestly light years away from Partridge.
I love Steve but Armando is the real genius
@@roblinnbailey2359 oh come on, that's like saying someone who sets up the tightrope equipement is far more talented than the man guy who walks across it. Besides, Coogan co writes.
Very true. Brent comes close, but Partridge is the epitome of awkward comedy.
One of the best bits of comedy I've ever seen.
I agree. I've watched this quite a few times and always find something new. A bloody masterpiece!
Can I just shock you...I think this is some of the best Partridge out there. Goodbye!

its not live
@MrBipson If so, then I agree with them. Probably my fav Partridge ever
I read the end of that in Partridge voice haha. Something to think about
@@raryhippohop7065 Defo was
There is no better developed character in the history of comedy than Alan Partridge and this is Peak Partridge.
Peaktridge
Alan was born to present the one show!
Or This Time lol
That Goldeneye jacket is so rad.
Oh damn I just noticed that. Need to cop.
That frustrated pen flick at 2.43 is fantastic
"Squeeze into Kate's bush." 😂😂
too funny ! Not her bush.. lol
The lovely Kate bush there…..the man with a child in his eyes 😂
12:04 even the crew can't take this gold
The song by Imagination really makes me reflect on the bravery of WW1 heroes
😄🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is why mid morning matters is my favourite Partridge. Steve riffing on radio whilst being filmed is just... mustard
And that's a relish!
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HAM
This is one of the greatest slices of alan ever made
In 1999 I thought 1979 looked like the Stone age.
Now 20 years later in 2019 this seems as fresh and funny to me as if it was made yesterday.
It holds up well even to me as a 24 year old born in 1995. Up the quality and I would assume this was produced this year easily. 1979 still seems like the stone age to me though haha
@@sebastianjames7423 why do these little children think anyone cares about their opinions. Fuck off kiddies.

That medley was glorious
Glorious
Get Alan partridge to present top gear.
but he couldn't present a cat!!
But he's not driving a mini metro.
First review should be a Renault Megane.
@Qwfwq66 Absolutely, but Steve Coogan is an excellent driver...
@Qwfwq66 Hes been on it,but should`ve worn the string back gloves,and driven to the nearest owl sanctuary.
Coogan is on fire here. He's just on IT 🔥🔥🔥
Alan is the ultimate painful pleasure...
It's so painful to watch I can't stand it stop it please ahhhhhhhh!!!!!,,,,!,!
Sergio Lobato wow r u lynn the badger?
i can't believe i hadn't seen that before. partridge at his best. amazing improvisation
Love his Goldeneye jacket.
I prefer his castrol oil jacket he wore to the head of BBC's funeral lol
Haha ennit,& the keys hanging from belt,its the little things lol.I remember them coats.
Me too... quite jealous tbh
In the DVD commentary apparently Armando says they had to go to Ireland to get some of his clothes, the sort of clothes millionaire farmers buy!
@@midnightrider4066 pure Alan.. classy respectful and sports casual
'I can honestly say that for the third time in my life, I am happy'
I wonder if he charged comic relief for that glow up between radio Norwich and the BBC studios
Probably needed wardrobe to have a go at his weave after the buffering from the helicopter.
Really makes you think!
Who wants to see an Alan and Kate Bush duo?
yes it would be superb. Did you catch Kate and rowan atkinson - ua-cam.com/video/bwG5AqZih8I/v-deo.html ? - my favourite female vocalist - freddie being my fave male vocalist.
@John Hillman - sorry for late response - no Freddie Mercury - if you weren't joking - peace.
"What man doesnt? Really!? What man doesnt?.."
That medley at the end , “Let me into your window….whoah hoo😂😂”
That medley 😂😂😂
Thank you for this upload. The editing. The completion. Quality baby! ❤️
*compilation*
20 years old!!! Wow. Utterly genius 😂
34 :)
"Spirts porsonality" 3:52
Steve is so ruddy bloody talented
Peripatetic and hauntingly wonderful as always, Alan!!!
"You've ironed out the creases", lol.
Alan: We're here with Bryan Ferry.
Bryan: A-ha.
Alan: Sorry I don't do that anymore.
GOLD.
"...and if it's not, it's a bloody good job, in which case, what the hell? Enjoy."
Ruddy hell its soft cell ..... beep beep sometimes......
Howled with laughter at that bit, and I'm trans. It's a reasonable job. I mean not five star but certainly competitive.
NEVER seen this before, thanks! 😊
I can just imagine Kate walking in at the middle of this open the door and scream "I SEE WHAT YOURE DOING THERE" and just do wide eyes
I think he models the character on Richard Madeley...the comparisons are there..
Nee shit
Have a look at Richard Madeley is Alan Partridge.
Half way thru this I remember that he wasn’t actually on the radio also hahahah. He is so good at playing this character
At the top of his game in this. Hilarious
Was this done live to air? All the segments are pretty much one-takes either way.
Best Paetridge clip ever
06:17. I aim to imitate this at least 5 times a day, no matter what the situation or location. It's possibly my favourite ever comedy observation.
I think this is the first time I heard ‘shit hot’, a phrase I say at least once a day, on telly
Bryan Ferry being a good sport, and desperately trying not to laugh.
I like the one he does with Roger Daltrey!

Michael always brings out the maternal feelings in me :') Even though I'm a guy.
The Golden Eye jacket 😂

The greatest character in my era probably this guy or David Brent, I'm going partridge as there was nothing like him before or since
Just total genius.
5:55 I love that passive-aggressive look on his face :p
"Gerry Adams" PMSL
On the original when Alan goes Into he studio to do the medley he asks the taxi driver to waive the fee for comic relief. When the Taxi driver says no Alan turns round waves his fist and says Y greedy bastard.
Lovely stuff.
He only got the gig because Gary Wilmot was booked to open a new Asda in Mold.
Sport, travel, farming and weather.
Stunning actor
Seen him live absolutely hilarious
Nice combover action going on with Alan here
The landing module wasn't made of compressed paper at all... Just shiny foil and sticky backed plastic.
Lol at listing famous Bryans next to Ferry but not mentioning Eno.
Alan's wife would be 72 now. Maybe her leaving him worked out for him in the end.
@Jay M She was born in 1943, according to his fact of the day.
Laura Caskey and also, on I'm Alan Partridge he used to say that she was 54 when talking about her running off with a younger man, a sports instructor.
So the maths may work.
Michael looks adorable.
Never realised how inspiring David Brent was on Alan Partridge! Ali G and Borat are great characters as well
Not the other way around no
Ricky Gervais is such a genius he inspired much better comedians to come up with original material so he could rip off for Americans to lose there minds to.
Ali G spot is a wanker
The comedy genius that is Steve Coogan.
So funny !! My new favourite
Steve Coogan...The 'Ultimate' Comic ! - :)

@@ColinIngus1 Especially reassuring if you have elderly relatives.
@@ColinIngus1 No but I do have a rinser.
@@cityzens634 Get rid of it
Egg stand?
Ah ahhh ahhhrse *shrugs*
6:14 is the best thing Steve Coogan's ever done.
i just hunted for half an hour through my history to find this (i'd watched it last week) .. pissing myself. it's that half-swallow thing he does..
Add the Kate's bush bit in and the recent Tesco checkout bit with the old lady and you have unbeatable comedy
MrPicklerwoof no UB40 bass playing bit.
yes, talking about how checkout workers have characteristics of fighter pilots.
I thought it was the weakest thing.
I never knew he actually went through with the medley. Not seen it until now 😂
brilliant, the girls dancing at the end were very good wit him, was all very well coordinated, he should do more song and dance stuff.
Michael does the Meerkat voices. True story
No way does he 😂
Rollin the ball 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back in the day when the uk charity appeals got the big stars on
Hes not a Geordie.. he's a mackem 😂
I want Alan to be realer than I do God
Better lock the windows, Heathcliff...
Every now and then he gives a look that’s pure Pauline Calf
18 years later, in 2017, as if to avoid the sure-to-stick swamp stench of the worst Comic Relief ever, all Coogan did was a 3 minute voiceover.
Who are the 6 people that liked this stupid comment?!!!!!
I'm assuming this was before Dundee
+Ben Attwood Dundee can't have been long after this, this is quite clearly a man on the edge. A Partredge.
+JX866 god that's good
Crash bang wallop: What a video! Was in 2000, and this is 1999, so I’d say this was the start of the Partredge
I just came back from a party in Dundee.
You cant see the Toblerone in his eyes and he's not slurring his words but who knows. Alan is a master performer.
Did Alan have a makeover following his stint in the wilderness of the Linton Travel Tavern?
8:47 i love brian trying not to laugh
Zed's Dead : Bryan.
Comic genius
Genius
Kung Stew Cooking! He's not thought it through...
Fucking awesome.
He's wearing a Goldeneye jacket 😅😅
