In the history of Radio and Television, there has never been a better or more successful spin off character. Still going strong almost 30 years later!

[@NxDoyle]

The advent of perhaps the greatest comedic character ever.

[@darrylmac6150]

Steve Coogan and Chris Morris are an absolutely superb comedy duo. They complement eachother wonderfully. Huge fan of the both of them.

[@randyschwaggins]

AP is the most talented TV personality we have ever seen...he's done sport, chatshows, radio, podcasts and morning tv...and all have been top class. JURASSIC PARK!!!

[@JustinRichards]

So funny.Thanks for compiling and uploading.

[@retroshack2960]

No probs, thanks

[@540BC]

Yeah, thank you very much. You blonde bas**rd

Been looking for this, cheers

[@soultrap8554]

2024 and it still makes me laugh

[@branstonpickle9055]

There’s at least 16 dossers and dwads who have watched this. Lovely stuff 👌

[@antiseptic71]

Sounds like you're back on dhe boddle

[@jasonfreshwater6138]

Absolute quality! Like most things back then

[@sz5876]

It's weird how his voice changed from this to basically Jeremy Irons for his recent audiobooks, probably a groin injury!

[@mennoknight78]

Alan sounded much more folksy when he was manning the sports desk. Then again, he always has been a man of the people.

[@pulchralutetia]

Absolutely classic, especially the Linford Christie groin strain.

[@shaunozzyoz425]

Yes yes yes yes yes YES GOAL!!!

[@mikesmith9387]

Pure class

[@FootlooseStudios]

Glorious

[@samchampionlives]

you are a LEGEND

[@retroshack2960]

Cheers. Partridge is UK comedy history after all.

[@nonaplane]

Love David Schneider playing Graham Gooch, couldn't look more different

[@simonjackson4727]

Lovely stuff.

through the chicane. through the chicane. 😂😂

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

He really sounds quite different to the voice he used from the mid 90's to early 00's

[@420thSFG]

Great stuff

[@GrahamJackson-j2s]

Mmmm lovely stuff.

[@davidwalden444]

Amazing

[@burning4902]

That “action-synth” keyboard incidental background music cracks me up

[@AfterSabbath]

That's Jean-Michel Jarre innit? Used to hear that piece everywhere in the '80s, pretty sure it was used as a TV show theme too

[@FiveSigma72]

@@AfterSabbath Yeah Oxygene and I think the tv show was Where There's Life?

[@joestevenson5568]

It's Oxygene Part 4 specifically

[@thecasualfront7432]

What an absolute groin wrecker

[@JHtube123]

Brilliant

[@moonwhistle]

Followed by Senna, Prost, BURGER and PIQUET!

[@dionysiaex5538]

Alan sounds a bit Richie Benaud here. Remarkable.

[@namakudamono]

Early Alan alternates from Richie Bennau to John Motson...interesting!

[@good_one_raggy]

Alan makes my life better. Also, when the sumo dude chokes him, he sounds a little bit like Golum from Tolkien's nonsensical magnum opus Lords of the Ring.

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

cook_pass_babtridge from Alan Partridge to lord of the Rings in no steps whatsoever.

[@gedofgont1006]

Lords of the Ring? Isn't that a wrestling documentary?

[@DJFREDHEAD2010]

over to sport....we havent got it HAHAHA

[@heavymetalvegan6564]

Still, nice to have a bit of time to yourself.

[@ddandfriends]

lol @ the recurring groin questions

[@barbarakirk1451]

So was he married before Carol?

[@philassheton3462]

You didn't get to the point where she got resurrected then? :p

Yep first wife died. So sad, just for a throwaway one liner.

[@tamhaswoods9056]

Groin this, groin that.... I bet on FIFA Ultimate Team he relentlessly tries to apply a GROIN healing card on an upper body injury.

[@jmc8602]

doesn't sound like Alan at all

[@SwineBrothers]

it's an early version of him

[@polyorchid528]

Embryonic Alan.

[@WaddedBliss]

He mentions this in the interview between him and Ianucci. He was a generic sports reporter.

[@NxDoyle]

I know. And another thing that sucks and makes it worthy of whining like a bitch about for no reason, Carol, Alan's ex-wife, never died and rose from the dead, either! These lies make the 27 years of brilliant comedy worthless.

[@nudisco300]

True Alan fans know it sounds exactly like Partridge. He evolved from a sports commentator to chatshow host to local radio dj and the voice changed accordingly

[@PoppinPortraits]

I was wrong it’s his younger voice!!

[@bobbywog]

It's Steve Coogan, the guy that actually plays Alan Partridge.

[@gregchew8225]

@@bobbywog 😂

[@nudisco300]

Partridges voice has changed over many versions.

[@PoppinPortraits]

@@nudisco300 all that traveling from Norwich to Thetford must have changed his accent
