Podcast is very good but it will never beat the real thing:

On the BBC 4 Podcast Hour, Coogan says that they're writing a second series of This Time at the moment, and it will be set after the pandemic. (They recorded a couple of late snippets of Oasthouse in lockdown, but thought it would unduly colour the entire project if they mentioned it. On the whole he prefers to avoid references to specific politicians or sports announcers in Partridge, as they're more transient than other elements of culture that concern the character.)

I may be misremembering, but I thought there were a couple of references to lockdown in the early episodes?
― Walter Draggedman (stevie), Tuesday, 13 October 2020 07:00 (three years ago) link
He may have said "to focus on it" or s/t - was mainly correcting the interviewer's impression that the whole project had been done under lockdown to entertain people in that situation.
― Covidiots from UHF (sic), Tuesday, 13 October 2020 08:07 (three years ago) link
Ah, right. I noticed the other day that the later episodes are clearly written in a non-Covid environment. Still not finished them yet, and will be sad when I do!

Isn't it a practice for a white person to talk first on these experiences rather than the person who has suffered the consequences of racists attitudes having to do the heavy lifting? Obv what happened next was edited for comedy but I'd be surprised if that was the only voice heard from in the discussion.

A rare piece of Partridgeana: the in-universe 1993 "fly on the wall" doco made during the production of Knowing Me Knowing You episode 4. Broadcast halfway between the KMKY radio series and The Day Today's TV series, includes the only actual appearance of Carol, and Partridge's only acknowledgment of his hair*. Plus Iannucci on-mic as the producer, and the intertextuality / strand-to-strand editing might hint that he wrote it with Marber & Coogan?
Up for another 16 days free listening rn: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00800kh
*(imo his hair was already retconned after IAP S2, and I'm adding another retcon between this and IAP to my headcanon)

Not exactly following you but he does discuss his hair in the Oasthouse. There's a whole episode inspired by his hair.
― everything, Friday, 8 January 2021 08:14 (three years ago) link
There's a gag about its apparent fakeness in the doco :)
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 8 January 2021 08:16 (three years ago) link
thanks for the headsup!

HBO Max has Knowing Me Knowing You, I'm Alan Partridge, the long versions of Mid Morning Matters, Open Books, Welcome To The Places Of My Life and This Time. Nearly all the other video material is on youtube or dailymotion, the books are available in tree or audio, and From The Oasthouse was exclusive to an American company. Morbs would be able to boxcar about there being too many options to take his measure these days.

Alpha Papa is currently free on Hoopla, Kanopy, Tubi, Pluto, Vudu, Roku, and Plex.tv, though it's a terrible place to start.
OTH, TDT and the original radio version of KMKY look to all be on youtube.

I really enjoyed s02e01, having been quite on the fence about s01. Maybe lockdown has loosened me up, or maybe it was just better, but it was superbly done throughout.
― burnt hombre (stevie), Sunday, 2 May 2021 11:47 (two years ago) link
Seems to me that series 2 is very similar to series 1, which was excellent. So either series 2 is also excellent or repetition / sameness diminishes excellence in which case S2 is merely quite good, quite good, etc.
While watching 2:1 my feeling was definitely: excellent.

Lolly Adefope's "yes." was somehow hilarious

I'd never seen any of these before, it was funny even though Partridge himself seems weirder and less like a real person than before.

Trying to explain the collapse of ITV franchises (and caring about it) is my twitter feed in a nutshell. I think probably monthly about Lennie Bennett introducing us to "Television Simply Wonderful", even though I was in a completely different region at the time.
― Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Saturday, 8 May 2021 13:12 (two years ago) link
this was probably my favourite episode so far, favourite bit was probably the explanation of why he went back and forth to the tailor so many times
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 8 May 2021 13:28 (two years ago) link
Yeah that was great, especially the throwaway acknowledgement it was because he'd had hair surgery.
― Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Saturday, 8 May 2021 13:44 (two years ago) link
does anyone remember on the radio series of KMKY where Alan reveals under hypnosis that some kids at school called him "Smelly Alan Fartridge" when he was 9, then when he is told about it frantically tried to persuade the guests that he wasn't smelly when he was 9, took a shower every day, etc.?yeah for some reason thinking about that tonight
