The purest form of Partridge - in a room, chatting. No fuss, no gimmicks, just utter cringe and hilarity 😂

Season 1 is peak Partridge. The App was GENIUS… You could play all the various parts of the show as if a radio station whilst shuffling between your songs.. Sadly I updated my phone one time and it no longer worked.. rarely been so disappointed. I used to only ever listen to this stuff going round and round and round… was amazing.

@Chriswatney 6 ай бұрын

@@cardinalnight3883 Well yes, it simply did what I said.. it cut all the Mid Morning Matters clips up.. allowed you to choose which songs from your phone to include and would then play as if you were listening to a radio station live, with Alan as the presenter… and all your favourite songs. It also kept all the Alan clips chronologically in order.. so it made sense if a guest remained in the studio for a couple of clips etc.. and if you had the right songs, you could have Alan actually introduce certain tracks correctly, as he did in the show from time to time. It was the greatest App ever made.. but they didn’t update it and so when I got a new phone or updated my old one etc, it no longer opened.. I was GUTTED! It was the only way I ever listened to music!! 😂

I have 4 different copies of the full series, on 4 different harddrives. Thats the only thing ive done that with.

@ashroskell 6 ай бұрын

Arguably the greatest comedian this country has ever produced. And Armando Iannucci has been his best script writing collaborator (Alan is always at his funniest with his input). Somehow, Coogan has found that sweet spot at the centre of a triangle, where cringe, pratfall and tragedy reside at the points. “The very perineum,” as Alan would put it. But to keep it up for as long as he has, he may well have given us the longest running character study in British acting history. It will probably end up on the syllabus at RADA eventually. It takes a great actor, immense creativity and incredible restraint to develop a character like Partridge over decades. And, I think we may all owe a debt to the failure of his movie, Around The World In 80 Days, for not losing Steve Coogan to Hollywood? Their loss was our gain. Though, I do wonder how well Partridge has gone down with American audiences? His early stuff depends very much upon the, “grammar,” of British Television and Radio production techniques and presentation styles that would not be so instantly recognisable to an American audience. But I feel sure that some Americans must know about him?

@definitelyl7985 6 ай бұрын

It's more of a cult thing in America, never cut through the mainstream but a lot of comic personalities seem to appreciate it. It's incredible what they've done with the character really, not only for how long it's been going with the change of writers as well, but also because how they've spread him through different mediums going along with the changing times. Sometimes I feel the journey's not been appreciated enough because it's almost unprecedented and people don't know how to react and ractionalise it. One day people will look back and realise how amazing what Steve and the crew have achieved is. Also yes, I think his Hollywood "failures" gave us some of his most interesting work. Not only the resurrection of Partridge, but also The Trip and some of his ventures into drama as both an actor and a writer (I thought Philomena was a lovely movie). I'd rather have this than him going down the Gervais route or starring in shallow american studio comedies.

The therapeutic lady in pink, being oh-so-supportive of everyone’s foibles, but at the same time construing everything as she imagines it, is a very timely character herself. For example, she saying that men’s “performance” is all about “setting the mood” - no, it isn’t. Women care about all that emotional and contextual stuff, men just don’t.
