Alan Partridge comes to BBC America

HI NATHAN JERMAINE SHAWNA AND TRENT

how do I watch this in the US without breaking the law

are vpns against the law? does it matter?

Was she on Gervais's After Life? I liked that show despite the bleakness

HBO Max got S1 about two years after it aired

DRAMATIC SPOILER in the trailer for ep 2!!!

Alan come to America ffs

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.

Radio KMKY is superb.

yeah, very underrated.

It seems that Alan's opinion of Lexi has changed.

CHEEKY MONKEY!!

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.

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.

The funniest thing to me was trying to get out of the door of the greenhouse. I could watch stuff like that all day.

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.

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

Yeah that was great, especially the throwaway acknowledgement it was because he'd had hair surgery.

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

Yes.

Took me half a day but I get you now.

The final episode of the new series was comfortably the funniest of the run.

Download from mega or google drive, have someone hand or post you a memory stick, VPN to UK

ilplex

It's on youtube

I bought the UK DVD it came in the mail today I started watching. The return of cheeky monkey sure went to strange places!

Anyway I’m two episodes in and haven’t seen Natasha Demitriou yet :(

you have :)

Wait, she’s definitely not the flirty makeup lady? I only know her as a vampire so maybe she’s been in plain sight.

Ahem

"personal slaughter" is classic!

accidental partridge things are not usually this good!

Yeah I laughed out loud.

Christ I needed him to make a fool of himself in exactly that way

For those outside the UK, Jeremy Vine is a perfect example of the sort of posh dimwit that is the bedrock of the British broadcast media, and they're all related to each other or married to each other or whatever.

Ahhh thanks

> and they're all related to each other or married to each other or whatever.

so dorries was right!

Stopped clock.

did we have a thread for real tv things that sound like things alan pitched at that meeting? Monkey Tennis, Youth Hostelling With Chris Eubank, etc

anyway, tonight, ch4:

"Extraordinary Extensions
Musician-turned-property guru Tinie Tempah follows British homeowners as they realise their dreams by embarking on ambitious home extensions."

There's so many of them, Channel 5 consists of little else.

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2021 season is nominated in the ILX TV poll, with voting ending this weekend:

ILX's Best Television of 2021 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 31, 2022

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Heads up, there is a new series of the podcast 'From the Oasthouse' on Audible. I'm giving s1 a listen first but looking forward to it.
