There are a lot of Easter eggs in this, like the mention of John Stapleton being considered for Alan's audio book as narrator... Stapleton is widely considered to be one of the sycophantic, self righteous presenters Coogan based the character on... With a large dash of Richard Madeley (who started in the North at the time Coogan was coming through). And the repeated mention of the Daily Mail and private detectives... Didn't Coogan himself sue them? Or one of the news papers. It's all good, like Alan himself - works on many levels.
Ever been on a 'Partridge Pilgrimage' through locations in Norfolk? Try it, its a good laugh - Blicking Hall, Norwich Cathedral, Cromer. Partridge is just the best!
"I start with a concept and try to work backwards towards a pun." That really is how devising and commissioning factual entertainment programmes work. Still better than Channel 4 who take complex societal problems and reduce them to Benefits Street and The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off.
Yes , because for all his Comic genius ..Coogan is a patronising , left wing , champagne socialist , virtue signalling shithouse who is totally detached from the experiences of normal working people , his wealth insulating him from the collapse of our country ! Like many of his sort , His political opinions and prejudices have clearly not changed since his sixth form " student politics" position .. despite the vastly changing world we have seen over the last 30 odd years .
Steve Coogan has repeated several lines during this interview so they can be edited out due to not liking the way they are said.... but they haven't been edited out for some reason. I wonder if this is simply the original or that they never realised thats why he repeated himself several times?
Richard Bacon knew how to play this interview game with Alan - so please, don't think Richard's attitude here was anything real, it was part of the act. Same way Clive Anderson, Jonathan Ross have interviewed Alan. Steve Coogan tells them in advance to be more confrontational with Alan.
Alan is the kind of man who would CREATE a younger brother, in order to fabricate a supporting comparison in his justification of torture at Guantanamo Bay. As he has.
Respectfully I have to agree to disagree. If you're interviewing somebody in character you have to do the same and play the straight man. Bacofoil is usually very charming and relaxed interviewer.
The perfect Bacofoil in fact. A play on words arising from the juxtaposition of bacon - as in Richard Bacon - and him being the perfect foil to me, Alan Partridge. Hence Bacofoil. Do we have another caller?
Really is great banter.
Top of the range ...
That's always enticed me _snort snort snort_ 😂
3:08
It’s an amazing snort
Ainsley Harriot's inherent frivolity was at odds with the gravitas of some of the passages in the book hahahaha
Brilliant
That's how bad it's got, in my head
CaneCompany ~ Yeah,
Steven is a Comedy Genius. .
His Comedy always makes me laugh, especially Alan Partridge and Paul Carr .

Partridge is just the best!
A Partrimilgrimage?
Bob Tangle A Pilgrimartridge
LOL. Hope there's a cracking owl sanctuary involved :)
Bob Tangle Or perhaps Longstanton spice museum?
Top banter. Equidistant between chit chat and analysis.
"usually find the bath's biting point within about 3 minutes" hahahahaha
Thanks for uploading this. Its hillarious

Thank u for makening me laugh today l really needt it 😂😂😂
Lots of criticism of R.Bacon in the comments. Load of rubbish, he's very good. Take my word for it
The amount of likes for that comment would suggest so..?
The only one on radio more Partridge than Bacon is Ian Payne.
Richard Medley?
The Eamonn Holmes banter is hilarious 😂
chat at its best
Some of the best of Alan's cannon
Canon
this is def the unedited version, really can hear how the sausages is made with the multiple takes...
Alan's Sceptred Isle... he took it to Sky for £300k
Slightly rebranded as “Scissored Isle”
We need a weekly Alan Partridge podcast.
Check out 'From the Oasthouse'.
the baths biting point line has infected me with laughter
Smell my cheese!, go on, smell it you mother!
Love AP wish he'd come back for another series just 1 please!
Yea that crap one show thing he did recently was dire
Funny to hear AP’s take on Dacre.
He knows Alan so well, he can just ad lib all day long.
Alan's sceptered isle.
"That's how bad it's got... in my head"
Great interview
The concept of a Bacon/Partridge conversation...
Laugh out loud
Va a c
love the daily mail bit. Im glad Steve did it.
Back on the BBC!
Bacon & Eggs, Bringing home the Bacon, brilliant ideas!
😂😂 ...Bacon is almost a younger, true-life version of Alan Partridge! This interview has had me cracking up!
"Lovely stuff," not my words, the words of Shakin' Stevens.
I could listen to Alan 24 7 365....
Brilliant.
feathered dogs
Hope he gets a second series featuring Bill Oddie.
Mans a genius
This is the funniest radio interview I have ever heard. It makes me burst out laughing over and over.
Coogan using the comic ignorance of partridge to show his real feelings about the daily mail editor lol anyone else notice that?
Yep, he hates the daily mail, he chose it as Alan's newspaper as a slight to the paper, check out his conversation with paxman about phone hacking
Yes , because for all his Comic genius ..Coogan is a patronising , left wing , champagne socialist , virtue signalling shithouse who is totally detached from the experiences of normal working people , his wealth insulating him from the collapse of our country ! Like many of his sort , His political opinions and prejudices have clearly not changed since his sixth form " student politics" position .. despite the vastly changing world we have seen over the last 30 odd years .
If they made Bruce's autocue any bigger it would look like an opticians test...
Bob your spot on
3:08 I nearly died. Pretty good interviewer actually!
3:08
I know the automatic captions are in beta, but even so, I can heartily recommend them - watch out for the mention of 'Mike Tyson's back'...XD
quickly and humanely destroyed... fuck. my stitches!
Feathered Dogs 😂😂😂😂
Richard Bacon is brilliant just is Alan aha
"Phone hacking is like Andrew Lloyd-Webber?"-_ "Exactly!"
It's look I like to call Sports Casual...

Steve Coogan has repeated several lines during this interview so they can be edited out due to not liking the way they are said.... but they haven't been edited out for some reason. I wonder if this is simply the original or that they never realised thats why he repeated himself several times?
Yeah live radio does that
I thought it was a bit weird.
@@MrAgbxl It wasn't live, it was pre-recorded
@@MatgoStyles are you on an E or something
He is a pro and gave them a better take but they must have assumed it was just a character thing and kept it in
I thought Alan was an only child... was he imagining a brother hiding the ping pong ball? 🤔
Big in the back time!
Forbes Mcalister. 🌹 r.i.p.
Allen Lymilt Forbes… [clicks fingers] Glenn? … McAlister.
Good natured obscenities! 😂
ugh Richard Bacon
geese: feathered dogs
Makes sense
PutinWithAnimals: About time someone said it.
Hilarious
I'd watch _Eggs and Bacon_
“Alan’s fat back” a six week series where Alan delves into the world of the weird and wonderful of peoples dietary regimes !
It's different to Dennis Chambers Fat Back, that's for sure
Feathered... dogs.
its all in the details... X-)
(the strap is optional)
Super
About half of the show is very funny. In other words, the parts where Coogan is talking.
Feathered Dogs PMSL!!!
Oh Richard.... Guess who's big in the back time!
Partridge > Coogan
Still relevant. Change Big Society into Build Back Better. It's all Thick of It meaningless sloganeering.
Except Build Back Better is an international bi-partisan slogan rather than just a Tory marketing concept.
10:30 Paul Dacre
AP can smell my cheese anyday
Bill odie
Jakacnakaknory
Alan’s younger brother!?
Grandad Graham ?......grandad
It's not.
Richard Bacon knew how to play this interview game with Alan - so please, don't think Richard's attitude here was anything real, it was part of the act. Same way Clive Anderson, Jonathan Ross have interviewed Alan. Steve Coogan tells them in advance to be more confrontational with Alan.
Bacon what a xxxx
It's not
Alans ahead of the times as usual with political correctness
out loud
SNORT SNORT. Let’s move on… 😂
Monkey tennis !
This is pure genius
Couldn't tell who was who tbh!
Alan says on this he has a younger brother but according to his biography he is an only child?
Weeman44444444444444 dum dum dum
Alan is the kind of man who would CREATE a younger brother, in order to fabricate a supporting comparison in his justification of torture at Guantanamo Bay. As he has.
The first part of the interview was funny.
partridge did scissored isle.
Can’t wait till travellers pitch up on Coogan’s estate. 🤔
I think he'd ask them politely to vacate.
Bacon comes across as more obnoxious
meta- bitterness over leveson
Richard Bacon has zero charm but thankfully Alan held things together
Respectfully I have to agree to disagree. If you're interviewing somebody in character you have to do the same and play the straight man. Bacofoil is usually very charming and relaxed interviewer.
The perfect Bacofoil in fact. A play on words arising from the juxtaposition of bacon - as in Richard Bacon - and him being the perfect foil to me, Alan Partridge. Hence Bacofoil. Do we have another caller?
Bacon plays it wrong. The tone of rudeness doesn’t work and distracts from Coogan
"Middle class white people". Egh.
Coogan brilliant. Bacon useless.
It takes two to tango
Bacon stooges very reasonbly
Brilliant, loved it... but..the waterboarding joke should have been left out
Pity he decided to bring his social justice agenda in at the end. Leave the politics out Coogan, it's not funny.
But it is right
