Steve Coogan is consistently hilarious, but the real praise should go to Richard Bacon for not only keeping up with him, but staying true to the tone of Partridge. This is canon.
Partridge is quite simply the funniest comedy character there has ever been. He is the most well observed, well drawn and well portrayed of them all... 'Rudimentary forensics'... Now there's a show for Alan... Get it made.. I can't wait for..This Time With Alan Partridge....
"Anything that can prevent a dalek can prevent a wheelchair. That's the easiest way to think about it. That's the thing about wheelchair access, it doesn't distinguish between Davros or Stephen Hawking. Mind you from 400 yards I don't think I could."
classic partridge. really great interview with fantastic British wit. I'm not sure what the slating of Bacon is about in the comments he's simply a prop who plays it pretty well imo.
+noveltybobel Read Partridge's actual autobiography here.www.amazon.co.uk/Partridge-Need-Talk-About-Alan/dp/0007449186 The funniest book I've ever read by far
Bouncing Back was pulped, so the book doesn't exist anymore. I was one of the one hundred and eleven people who bought a copy. I never read it and destroyed mine in solidarity when the rest were sent to slaughter. I always regret not reading it. There was talk of an e-book edition but apparently the word files, all backups and notes and even Alan's used electric typewriter ribbons have vanished. I fear it'll go down as one of the most important lost documents of our age. Maybe one day in the far future, beings evolved from humanity will uncover a copy and treat Alan with the messianic reverence he so obviously deserves.
I am not from the UK and have no idea who Eamon Holmes is, or half the people Alan refers to are, but it still makes me laugh because it’s not difficult to imagine the type of public people they must be. This same thing happened with The Simpsons a lot when I was growing up.
Is this true? I thought he was just going along with Coogan's shtick, and doing it very well compared to other interviewers but I suppose this explains it haha
Coogans just improvising like he does in the jonathon ross tv initerviews etc, its richard bacons radio show and i dont think hes reading from a script, you can hear steve struggle at times for something funny to say and it mostly isnt, if it was scripted it would be a lot funnier. Bacon has a list of questions about the tv series in front of him though.
2 of my favourite quotes, 2 of many. 0.56 if you've pulp a packet of biscuits, you have'nt lost some biscuits, you've gained the base of a cheesecake. 13.41 along with the pungent odour of Walker's smokey bacon.
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.
Rumour has it that Alan attended the interview in sports casual attire with newly-washed ice white socks. He presented Richard with an Alan Partridge blazer and tie combination pack at the end.
I think some people on here don't understand this interview - Richard was playing up to Alan, and being the usual BBC interviewer in style. I think a lot of people on here have missed the joke.
Most people don't know that the biggest inspiration for the Partridge character was Richard Madeley. It's all in the tangents and the attention to detail.
Bacon is painful to listen to at the best of times but Coogan really shows him for what he is in this interview. It's like barcelona playing a Sunday league pub team
Steve Coogan is consistently hilarious, but the real praise should go to Richard Bacon for not only keeping up with him, but staying true to the tone of Partridge. This is canon.
Agreed...Richard is also brilliant.
Love you Richard Bacon for getting the humour of Steve Coogan and being such a great comedy due .
Why all the hate on Richard Bacon , he’s clearly playing along to whatever Alan says and does a pretty good job of it!
Because losers can’t get over him taking cocaine about a hundred years ago, fucking idiots.
Big Bacon is sound
Literally zero negative comments about Richard bacon in fact only the opposite
What a strange comment
Not heard this interview before. As a partridge mega fan I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great interviewing by Bacon.
"Maybe a full pint, if I slept with my mouth open" Classic Partridge
Alan deserves a second series on the basis of this interview alone.
The single best interview I have ever witnessed in my life.
I never heard of him before but the dude was disrespectful about the guy that died.
[Eammon Holmes] was eating the burger quietly, _for him_ 😂
I would like to see a furious Eams.
Partridge is quite simply the funniest comedy character there has ever been. He is the most well observed, well drawn and well portrayed of them all...
'Rudimentary forensics'... Now there's a show for Alan... Get it made..
I can't wait for..This Time With Alan Partridge....
I agree, I'm 16 y/0 and just discovered him and he's amazing
I would agree and put David Brent alongside him pure genius.
Let's make love!
Pioneering use of cannons
Hahaha, "She really did look a thousand dinars." 1000 dinars is about .60 pounds.
Alan’s voice is like asmr for comedy. He just makes me feel good. I Partridge, is so funny.
My name is Dan and I love Alan Partridge
lol, I'd love to have seen Richards face during this, you can hear him stifling giggles on quite a few occasions :)
i think richard tests alan in the perfect way to make this fucking hilarious
I love how Coogan remains true to the Partridge continuity.
"...half a pint of apple juice, maybe a whole pint if I slept with my mouth open." 😂
Thanks for putting this up.
This Alan guy is really brilliant. I could listen to radio of him all day. I'd elect him for office.
I think he would do well in a sketch comedy style program. Possibly with a handful of other various comedic gentlemen.
"Anything that can prevent a dalek can prevent a wheelchair. That's the easiest way to think about it. That's the thing about wheelchair access, it doesn't distinguish between Davros or Stephen Hawking. Mind you from 400 yards I don't think I could."
That last sentence made me laugh so hard (and so guiltily) I nearly hurt myself.
Great to hear the embarrassing, cringe inducing, cliche-machine at his finest, and Alan was pretty good too.
North Norfolk Radio and Stevie Coogan are fantasticatious. Thanks.
classic partridge. really great interview with fantastic British wit. I'm not sure what the slating of Bacon is about in the comments he's simply a prop who plays it pretty well imo.
It's because he's a radio DJ in real life and a smug, irritating prick.
@@clothilde1623 completely agree, he doesn't understand Alan's humour at all and quite often actuslly gets angry with him! Complete idiot
@@guscox9651 It is quite obviously planned and performed anger.
@@retcon1991 I see it now. Genius
bacon is a pig in this interview. partridge owns him
I'd love to read Bouncing Back. I think he should actually write it!
+noveltybobel Read Partridge's actual autobiography here.www.amazon.co.uk/Partridge-Need-Talk-About-Alan/dp/0007449186
The funniest book I've ever read by far

There's a 'passage' from it in one of the old scripts books for the BBC Partridge series (Every Ruddy Word)
that was in Troon in Scotland were the British golf open is held . Unfortunately that was the only thing that was open that day .
It's 'The Open'...no need for the word 'British'. THE Open...Just saying,like.
Alan on Alan on Partridge on Partridge
The Eamonn Holmes part ruined me. "I've never seen a man eat a burger with as much reverence for the occasion."
schpleeb me too, tea burst from my mouth all over my keyboard
I just "discovered" Eamonn Holmes, what an astonishly disgusting man :p I'll blame UA-cam and Holly Willoughby for introducing him to me.
Alan chose a risqué context here for his pedantic humour 😳
Hilarious. Burgers and September 11
I am not from the UK and have no idea who Eamon Holmes is, or half the people Alan refers to are, but it still makes me laugh because it’s not difficult to imagine the type of public people they must be. This same thing happened with The Simpsons a lot when I was growing up.
You must chech out eamon Holmes, him and Ruth on this morning 😆. To me that's on a par with partridge except they're serious
I really enjoy looking up the real people Alan references, only adds to the fun.
Simpsons
We are no longer together, and we remain on unpleasant terms.
" mind you from 400 yards I'm not sure that I could ! "
Why so much hate for Richard Bacon? He's reading from a script written by Steve Coogan.
Is this true? I thought he was just going along with Coogan's shtick, and doing it very well compared to other interviewers but I suppose this explains it haha
I can't believe people don't realise this. Do people really think Steve is just improvising from every question ffs?
Coogans just improvising like he does in the jonathon ross tv initerviews etc, its richard bacons radio show and i dont think hes reading from a script, you can hear steve struggle at times for something funny to say and it mostly isnt, if it was scripted it would be a lot funnier. Bacon has a list of questions about the tv series in front of him though.
I don't think the hate for Richard Bacon is based on this interview - it's cause he's an arrogant, irritating prick in 'real life'.
Darryn Keyboardguy I don’t think Coogan is improvising that much, since the writers are clearly in the studio with them.
"In short anything that can prevent a dalek, can prevent a wheelchair that's the easiest way to think about it"
This is the best thing since sliced bread innit?
Everything from Cuppa Soup to Pot Noodle. 😂
"...no she's my cleaner.". 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You just can’t argue the biscuit pulping situation!
Really is, good humour
Alan partridge must interview Richard Madeley
‘Give me a pound of your baddest ham.’
2 of my favourite quotes, 2 of many.
0.56 if you've pulp a packet of biscuits, you have'nt lost some biscuits, you've gained the base of a cheesecake.
13.41 along with the pungent odour of Walker's smokey bacon.
Lovely stuff
.......hahaha alan partridge and richard bacon...like father like son.
Aw, dunno about that. He certainly used to be and still openly displays twattishness but over the years his twattism has slightly abated.
"take a look at biscuits... Not now, ..."
genius from another planet
This cannot of been on the fly, this was unbelievably funny.
+bobbydylanio yeah, quite a bit is pulled from the autobiography, but it just shows the quality of it!
HAVE, you dullard.Not OF.
I was almost certainly high as shit, so I applaud the me from a year ago for the correct placement of the comma.
bobbydylanio "High as shit" - Good to hear your hard earned money lines thugs' pockets.
No doubt you'd be against legalizing it though.
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.
A: It's illegal and B:I don't like it.
..."she really did look a thousand dinars"......LMFAO!!!
Alan you are the funniest chat show host ever!
The interviewer is like one of Steve's creations.
Rumour has it that Alan attended the interview in sports casual attire with newly-washed ice white socks. He presented Richard with an Alan Partridge blazer and tie combination pack at the end.
The recycled book joke is brilliant
medium pollen count.
"She really did look a thousand dinars" (equivalent to 70 pence!!)
I think some people on here don't understand this interview - Richard was playing up to Alan, and being the usual BBC interviewer in style. I think a lot of people on here have missed the joke.
Partridge faked Chris Feathers signature
haha.. how does Alan get this numbing banter to go on at such a steady pace for so long? I'm in stitches
Most people don't know that the biggest inspiration for the Partridge character was Richard Madeley. It's all in the tangents and the attention to detail.
I wonder where Sonja is now. Unleashing hell on the Russians, one hopes.
"hasn’t had a feed"
I'm so glad someone else noticed that, it made me piss myself!
The part at 3:21 completely cracked me up!
the weather was excellent on my big day & the food was outstanding
Alan Partridge is Richard Bacon
Did Richard Bacon rehearse this? He's superb as the straight man.
Bacon and Partridge, the ultimate meat feast
"Do you smoke doobies?" It's a pity Alan didn't ask Richard about his drug use ;)
I'm not driving a mini metro!
14:25 Oof which American actor does that sound like now?
WENT FINE
this is making me hurt..line after line....proper fucking brilliant
Partridge with bacon. A recipe for classic comedy?
That's my Christmas dinner sorted.
Self dictation: A cooking show with Me and Richard Bacon touring Amsterdam. I cook regional dishes and Richard samples the local greenery.
Brilliant.
Daily Mail's perfect radio dj.
Forbes Mcalister 🌹 r.i.p.
do you smoke doobies for breakfast?
Of course not
"I had the last laugh"
Ha-haaa!!
‘needles to say..:
that lad can chat the face of an eight day clock ( nice guy)
Bacon is painful to listen to at the best of times but Coogan really shows him for what he is in this interview. It's like barcelona playing a Sunday league pub team
Thats an amazing story about Chris Feather and his busted hand. So much detail, it has got to be true
Ah yes the Bad Ham diet. Cannot recommend it enough!
A pound of your baddest ham 😂
‘We do remain on unpleasant terms’ says Partridge of his relationship with his ex wife. Funny as fuck 😂
hahahaha... numero one!
Genuinely awful ham
Bacon has a bit of Chris Morris about him in this
That was liquid football!
Bad ham. Seek out bad ham. The baddest ham. Genuinely awful ham.
"overseas girlfriend"...
Doesn't Bacon sound like Greg James
Both very generic
All these people taking Richard Bacon seriously on these threads lol..
Yep to be fair I think Rich(-ard) does well here
thats a clock with two weights sorry
"semi transparent burka"
oh Richard..
Hilarious!
Your baddest ham lol.
Raven Jayne not in a Black, Street sort of way. I mean genuinely bad ham!
Sorry if I offended you.
I'm not driving a Mini Metro!
the foo, that would be part of it hahahaha
"ehhhh ermmm medium pollen count"
Making fun of September 11 was very British.
Richard Bacon-the real life Partridge.
*Madeley
“Bad ham”… hehehhe
It’s not
"more challenged listeners" hahhahhahahhaha
