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

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

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.

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.

will watch but damn between books and podcasts and this, there 's a lot of Coogan content out therewouldn't mind if he dropped all the partridge stuff and just did more series of the Trip
― calstars, Monday, 5 February 2024 22:01 (two months ago) link
This was first announced in 2019, you’ve had time to catch up (on the 900 hours of other Gibbons material they’ve pumped out since)
― bae (sic), Monday, 5 February 2024 22:31 (two months ago) link
The Gibbons material has all been strong imo, though I've not read the books since the autobiog.

Other than the two series of “This Time”, the Oasthouse podcast, and the Amazon special, has there been other AP/Coogan content in the last couple years?
― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 6 February 2024 08:47 (two months ago) link
Two books, which are also available in (necessary) audio book format.to be honest I have loved all of this stuff.

The only one I haven’t bothered watching is strategem, has coogan figured out how to do live comedy yet? Previous partridge et al live shows were dire
― Boris Yitsbin (wins), Tuesday, 6 February 2024 11:26 (two months ago) link
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.
