Anyone know exactly what this is, e.g. 10 minute 'shorts' or an actual series? This Sun article says "Highlights of his gut-bustingly funny musings and outrageous anecdotes are being packaged together for a brand new web series on fostersfunny.co.uk" - highlights? Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this esp since Fosters aren't having anything to do with it (unlike Will Arnett/Orbit (or Wrigleys?) "content")

Two books, which are also available in (necessary) audio book format.to be honest I have loved all of this stuff.

Yeah I saw strategem live and it was pretty terrible.
The little reunion at the end of the 3rd series of From the Oasthouse though was absolutely perfect and I loved it.

Oh didn’t even know there was a third series of Oasthouse and a new book.

yeah there's a lot to keep up with, I think the Beacon book passed me by completely (audio-only stuff takes longer for me to find time to listen to, and it's usually worth listening to the books).

Did nobody watch this? I thought it was... not very funny. To be fair, I haven't really paid much attention to Alan Partridge for years because I haven't seen anything for years and what bits I have seen have been... not very funny. The best bit by far was his face to face with his old sidekick.

― ledge, Monday, 6 October 2025 20:56 (eight months ago)
Two eps in, thought the second one was a lot funnier than the first. Premise feels like a good idea executed a bit weirdly. Some funny little moments (the conversation with Tim Key, some of the Saudi stuff, the tv cooking show).
― crisp, Monday, 6 October 2025 21:24 (eight months ago)
tim key is always good. but yeah i thought this really lacked bite. did not finish first ep :/
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 October 2025 21:31 (eight months ago)
i watched the first ep and it was fine but didn't feel in need of the instantly watching the second. i'm sure i'll watch it all bit by bit but didn't think it was great so far, a bit rushed or something.

― Piedie Gimbel, Tuesday, 7 October 2025 05:23 (seven months ago)
4th is probably the least interesting so far imo
― kinder, Tuesday, 7 October 2025 06:53 (seven months ago)
I’ve watched all of these now. I think the funniest AP stuff has always tended to be him losing control of a situation, or of himself, and that works best in formats where we know he’s not controlling what we see, but breaks a bit in formats like this (or the podcast, or some of the earlier Alan-fronted things like Scissored Isle). If he’s controlling his own edit then we never really get to see him desperately flailing around.
So I don’t think it’s very funny, I maybe laughed twice across the six episodes. But I also don’t think that matters too much? It’s still really enjoyable, the whole project at this point works as an extended character study.
― JimD, Wednesday, 8 October 2025 21:29 (seven months ago)
i was thinking exactly the same thing, that when partridge has ostensible control over the result there’s only so far they can go with naturalistic scenes, so the humour mostly - all? - comes from how crap he is at the format, or the ways in which his character obstinately bucks the format, which can be funny but idk less so, and with less potential to really go off the rails
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 8 October 2025 21:41 (seven months ago)
like you don’t get his day to day in a travelodge or whatever which for me is the absolute peak stuff of the series. that said i loved the oasthouse podcast (still an amazon exclusive i think) but mainly because he did allow it to just become a day in the life type of thing
