I think we get the impression that Tony Hayers probably isn't that great at his job though. He does look like someone who works in a bank and he also sometimes behaves in an unprofessional manner.
David Schneider is more of a background actor. He’s appeared in movies like 28 Days Later, Mission Impossible and he’s also appeared in some adverts. He’s quite a busy actor, but a brilliant guy.
@@MoskHotel watch the title sequence of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes. A very young David Schneider is one of the grimacing street urchins dispatched by a bobby
Just noticed that here Hayers didn't have TV experience before the BBC( 0:42 ) ..but in the episode of IAP where he dies, Alan is told 'He(Hayers) spent his entire life in TV..and he died fixing a TV aerial.'. not that it matters, but you notice things like this after watching the clips multiple times :)
I've noticed loads of things like this after watching all the shows and reading both books. Some parts of the time line don't add up but I imagine it's very difficult to maintain consistency with so much funny and original material
@@BIGNOIDS When Alan is introducing Tony his hand is on his shoulder. When the shot cuts to a side angle, Alan's hand is now by his side. And he hasn't just moved it.
This special aired on Friday 29th December 1995. It was actually filmed in Teddington Studios, Alan said at the start of the special it was at BBC Television Centre.
@@ma-moomoo No Alan has changed. He's written differently now and speaks differently and looks differently. Coogan has got so caught up with creating a continuous story of Alan's life that he fails to realise why the character was funny. The character needs to be locked into this time zone not made 'modern' for the 2020s. The joke of the character was it was a bit of a mashup or parody of minor celeb arrogant/overbearing/awkward presenters like Richard Madeley, John Stapleton, Alan Titchmarsh, etc. What he's done is turn it into something that isn't anywhere near as funny now.
@@nudisco300 I agree, Alan has changed particularly since the Gibbons brothers took over from Armando Iaunnci as writers. Back when it was Coogan and Ianucci Partridge was more of wannabe celeb who could never quite make in the mainstream, and like you say was a parody of presenters like Richard Madeley and bad local radio. Since the Gibbons brother's they have matured him in a way that is not consistent with the original character. Alan is now less career orientated and it's more about details of his personal life.
Sorry, but Alan SHOT A GUEST DEAD on his first series, it was a PR disaster for the BBC, he is DELUSIONAL to think they would give him a second series!
Needless to say Alan had the last laugh. Whilst Tony died falling off his roof, Alan went on to Norfolk Radio, Anglian Lives, Scissored Isle, wrote his first book, North Norfolk Digital (Norfolk's, North Norfolk's best music mix), saw his best friend thrown himself off a pier trying to distract a mad man, wrote his second book Nomad, hosted various one off's and talk shows, stepped in for John Baskell on This Time and became the shows mainstay. started his own successful podcast, then wrote a third book after being fired from This Time and is soon to be rambling around Norfolk in '...and did those feet'. Do you feel regretful now Tony? Oh you can't. Because of the death thing.
See I took it more as with Partridge being a serial sycophant he was just a bit stumped when he said he was Jewish as he knew he couldn't pretend he was Jewish as a way of getting in his good books - the best he could do was 'Jew liker'. We all know Partridge was a bit of a bigot though so you're probably right too.
Here in the UK at least I think its quite common for jewish households to have a christmas tree (at least in my experience). After all its not actually a religious artifact despite the colloquial name
pretty sure the bbc is a publicly funded entity, providing necessary information and entertainment, regardless of the cost. its not meant to be a commercial product that has to trick people into liking it.
David Schneider. He was in Mission Impossible as the train driver and 28 Days Later as the lab worker. Plus he was in loads of Partridge skits and even a Mr Bean episode I think I remember.
Terrible title as this is comedy before those terms like Cringe and Fail existed. Back when Comedy was actually funny and nobody took it seriously. That's all changed now. Imagine airing this in 2022. Ofcom's phones would be ringing off the hook!
"We live in a market economy and the BBC should be no different". Really? Well mate....I don't know of any market that can legally demand payment from the public for a product the public doesn't want.
Hm... I'd be more hard-pressed to name an economy without publicly-funded and regulated sectors, and media is rarely an exception. Would it feel any better if broadcast provision and administration was rolled into your taxes? At least this one's optional. Broadcast TV is pretty much being replaced by VOD and streaming-only networks anyway, for which I understand you don't currently need a licence. Skip it if you like, as you would any other subscription service. You ever turned on a TV set in countries without an ad-free competitor, btw? It's ALL commercials, literally every 3-5 minutes.
Yes it was a wig, to make David Schneider look older than he was as he was playing Tony as older than him. David was 32 when he appeared in this 1995 Christmas special.
I know about hair, makeup and prosthetics but it's still weird/amusing that Steve Coogan was only 29 here.
I love the Tony Hayers bits. David Schneider just plays it so delightfully straight, it gives Coogan huge scope to do some great stuff.

Tony turned down some stellar ideas for new shows. Inner city sumo would have been a smash hit for instance.
I'm going to wait until the next millennium with crossed fingers for "Jet from gladiators" to host a millennium barn dance from Yeovil aerodrome
I thought Inner City Sumo was a great idea too. And it woulda been really cheap to make
They did end up doing cooking in prison.
Let's hope it's properly policed. It must not, repeat not, turn into an all-night rave.

Continuity error.

Some of the best comedy ever produced right here. This whole episode for me was Alan's best ever - but they were all amazingly good.

'Cringe!' Stop it BBC, please stop it

BBC is just awful at trying to be “hip and cool”, but it’s just annoying.
Just act like the 80s or 90s!
Why not? It was cringe-y.
@@davidjames579 it's very twee / a bit teenage to say "cringe!" Though, no? You might expect it with a youth programme but it doesn't fit with satire.

bbc can you not try and be hip with the titles
I know it's so embarrassing

You can say “Cringe” when something is MEANT to be cringeworthy. It makes it look like you don’t get the joke in a show you actually made.
Really? I'd have thought you'd say cringe when something WASN'T MEANT to be cringeworthy
So not only was Tony walloped by Alan twice, but he had him with the Stilton in series 2 as well!
peel my bell hahahaha
Dean scag *Peal
Oh I always wondered why he said "peel", he's saying "peal". I get it now!
I'm still waiting for the contents of his drawers at the Travel Tavern to be revealed :-)
fred west it has been. A few years ago now. Google will tell you. ;-)
I guess we already know :-)
Lovely stuff
Never a dull moment, sadly a lot of folks over here dont know a lot of these shows.
Their loss I'd say :-)
Id have him down a some of those types that likes to be pegged. 😂 given his fascination with the ladyboys.
Did he ever buy the midi hifi from Tandy? It had a lovely action.
he's got one already
Quality action 😜
When mary the bell ringer starts to speak after this is just priceless.
I always thought David Schneider was the boss of the bbc
Some of those guests had come from Stoke
I heard they dropped a nuke on stoke once. 20 quid's worth'a damage

what's a coathanger used for?
"KMKYWAP" is set in a TV studio, and I'm Alan Partridge is a mockumentary, so there are supposed to be camera crews in these shows.
Funny thing is, he is getting a second series. He back on TV very soon. Ah ha!!.
and Tony Hayers is still dead LOL LOL :D :D :D In your face Tony you mother!

The Daily Mail's man in the BBC. Alan Patridge and his Huge Ego.
What was he doing on the bloody roof?
Any links for full episode?
David Schneider also played a different Jew on the 1992 KMKYWAP radio show - Bernie Rosen, famous 'Noo Yawk' Jewish comedian! _Adeyadey!_

He was fixing the Tv aerial Alan..

Should have retired him after series two, though.

The shocking thing to me is that Patrick Marber was only 30 when he did Alan Partridge. All his characters look like they're in their 50s or 60s.
