If you´re not on the Patreon, you really are missing out on the best full reactions!

'Failing so perfectly' is a great summary of Alan.

The tragedy of this episode is Longstanton still has not cashed in by building a spice museum :(

If you want to check out more of Alan doing his radio show, check out 'Mid-Morning Matters'. The series focusses more on the radio show he did after this one.

Told you....Alan Partridge, one of the best comedy character creations!!

"There'll be no full viewing of this episode today, because of the threat of a court injunction by Steve Coogan"

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon on the show The Trip, arguing over who does the best Michael Caine impression is genius, well worth a watch. Love Alan Partridge

I have a T shirt with a big orange owl silhouette in the middle that says “I had a cracking day at north Norfolk owl sanctuary”. My wife absolutely hates it.

I fkn love this program... Spencer is definitely Alan partridge without even trying 😂😂

Love that you're doing partridge. Very very British, with a lot of references that will go over your head; but just the best comedy creation.

"Lynne. Forget about Benjamin Netanyahu. You're never going to meet him." 😂

The greatest show and character of all time, all genres. Great to see you finally here. I live in Norwich and we have a live music venue called The Owl Sanctuary in tribute to the stolen afternoon…

That ‘death row’ sketch at the Owl sanctuary, and the legendary bedroom scene still have me in stitches even after all this time. The farmers episode to come is even better.😂😂

The next ep, Watership Alan, is even better!

All the episodes are film titles modified to include Alan. A Room with an Alan is named after A Room with a View; Alan Attraction is named after Fatal Attraction etc.

Yay! 24 Hour Party People... what a great film! Happy Mondays are my favourite band and when I found out "Alan Partridge" was making a film about them, it was like all my birthdays at once!

Love the outtake with Michael and Alan at the door

May I just say ….Congratulations !!!you have made it to comedy heaven 🎉🎉🎉🎉

"What not to do. Ever." lessons from Alan. You hit the nail on the head there. A brilliantly performed character that Steve Coogan created that we all love to hate. Or just hate. Either way, he makes us cringe with laughter all the time.

20th time watching this episode and it still is as funny as ever.

I hope you explore more of the series, especially series 2, one of the best things is the developing bromance between Alan and Michael ❤😂

The out takes of this episode are amazing. It almost killed Geordi Michael doing the scene with Alan with chocolate on his face. Worth a video in itself!

Please check out his chat show… it was before this Knowing me Knowing you. Or Paul Calf’s video diary’s.

and by the way the show does exist on radio it's called Mid Morning Matters....it's hilarious

Never laughed so much 😂 Love Alan Partridge

There's a great interview with Conan O'Brien interviewing Steve Coogan from a few years ago. It proved to me that Americans CAN understand Alan's humour - well, the ones who work in comedy anyway. I still think he's one of the funniest creations ever. Ricky Gervais road the coat-tails of this style shortly afterwards, so watching Alan is like going back to the source! Perfection. For reference, we don't tend to do the American-style product endorsement on British terrestrial media due to broadcast laws - so Alan is skirting close to the wind with his Chocolate Oranges! lol

Absolutely brilliant What a series bros Keep it as a full programme mukkas

You need to do a Spaced reaction, Jill is played by the brilliant Julia Deakin who was in Shaun of the Dead and Spaced.

In the dvd commentary Coogan describes when they are writing the characters there are back stories that are never expressed in the actual script but are kept in mind while the script is written. Two examples I remember are that Michael was never really in the army and Lynn, being a few years older than Alan, used to be his baby sitter when he was a kid.

seen it so many times but the bigger plate for an all-you-can-eat buffet where you can go back as many times as you like still makes me laugh

Possibly the funniest series of all time, classic

Rickie Gervais made his name with "the Office" Cringe Fest, but Steve Coogan had prepared the ground with Alan Partridge.

"Wheeeeeelchairs!"

Check out coogan in Paul Calf Diaries....another great character from him

Yeaaaahhhh... I was in the (London) studio audience for this particular episode... and I live in Norwich (UK)... eat my goal..!

Brilliant reaction 👏

Oh this is priceless embracing the awkwardness Alan Partridge is so good you can still hear this delivery from presenters occasionally they know it too absolutely wonderful 🙏

mid morning matters! alan and sidekick simon on the radio. very good

Great episode, Alan's singing voice is hilarious!😄😄😄

There's also the movie to look forward to.

Guys, I remember watching this when it came out in '96 ... I loved it then...but loved it more watching you two reacting to it.... brilliant stuff !!!!

Got me excited thinking there was all of s1 to watch 😂

Whatever i was doing gets dropped for this!. I was teaching my kid to swim 😮

Ahh memory lane…Alan Partridge came out before the brilliant awkwardness of The Office. Steve Coogan totally nailed this with the cringe! I didn’t miss an episode when it was on tv back in the nineties/early naughties. I still use the phrase “back of the net” to the this day.

Well done lads ✌️

Talking about school DJs. When I was about 8 years old we were going to have our first School Christmas disco. We were all encouraged to bring in our favourite cassette tapes for the DJ to play. I was always the class joker and along came an opportunity for me to play my first ever practical joke... Everyone knew how much I loved music. Even as a small child I loved going to the market stalls and buying as many records as I could... A couple of my school friends asked if I could put some records onto tape for them so they could bring it to the disco. I thought it was a good idea, the DJ isn't going to play my tape all night with all if my favourite songs on it. So If I got some tapes off the other kids and recorded all my favourite songs on multiple tapes then I can control the music of the night... It wasn't until the next day that one of my class mates asked if I could record the Micheal Jackson 'Bad' album, because it was his favourite and his deeply religious parents refused to buy it him, over one of his Mom's original tape of Bible and Jesus songs? Are you figuring out where this is going? The party was 2 days away and I told him that I'd give him the tape at the disco. I never recorded anything on it accept for a 5 second introduction saying "My name is Darren and I love this music" I'd put a sticker on the tape belongs to Darren Harris. The DJ is playing all the songs of that era mostly recorded for friends by me. Then it happened. "The DJ says this is for little Darren, and his one of favourite songs".. We all nearly pissed ourselves with laughter as "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures..."... My first ever practical joke. I remember being hauled off into the headmasters office and him saying saying something like I had the best grades in the class and I could make something of myself or I can treat education as something to throw away in exchange for being silly and having friends". about 10 years later I was having the same conversation with the headmaster of the collage. But some how it was the other way around. I failed my exams and didn't get the required grades to enter. But the Headmaster of the collage called me up and offered me a place any way. He said something like "It would be detrimental to your school friends if you were not there. You were the life of your class and you messed about, you joked, you bent rules to test authority and you're one of the worst students we've ever had. But.... This college needs someone like you"... :) It's quite funny because the school and college I went to is a really good school with some of the highest grades in the country. So they've tried to hide my existence I was there. lol. All my class photos are missing from the website, my classes, and the classes I was in, those exam results are missing... There is almost nothing online to even prove I was there. On the schools website there's nothing. All pictures of me and my class results are missing. But there's pictures elsewhere from my old school friends. They took pictures and they've iploaded things that I was envolved with lol.

I think Uk comedians votes the scene with Alan & a stalker/admirer who holds him captive (in this series) as the funniest.

Brilliant...Thanks...

I missed the meaning of the line "Yeah, just been eating some mousse" for about the first dozen times of watching this episode.

Steve Coogan nails it as Alan Partridge this is such a great series.

One day you guys need to check out him and Rob brydon doing their impressions together

🇬🇧 Norfolk : with his radio Norwich my home city , there was a pub in Norwich with plaques around the walls with every date in history like the building of the cathedral then one said Allen partridge was born 😂

Once you've watched this series and the second series, make sure you watch the film Alpha Papa, it's glorious.

You guys would love the brutality of The New Statesmen with Rik Mayall...

you forget how brilliant these two series were,,,, saxondale is also very funny,,,, 2 series wish he had done more,,,

DAN...... DAN....... DAN...... it's coming up soon, can't wait.

You've got so many fantastic episodes to come guys...Without spoiling it for you... But for everyone who has seen these episodes many times... They'll know what you've got to come when i say... The Sex People... Impaling... Angry Farmers... Stalking Fan... Eggy Breath... Traffic Cone... Getting Bond Wrong... The Funeral... Dan Dan Dan... U2... Windscreen Washer Fluid... Alan's Drawer... You've got a great comedy journey ahead of you. 😂Enjoy guys!.👍

After you finish series 1, check out the out-takes. The chocolate around the mouth bloopers are great 😂

Honestly, it just gets better.

Oh Daniel. I feel Alan may be your spirit animal, you poor, poor soul!

He was even funnier when he still had his TV show.

Absolutely classic 😂

Can't wait for the farmers episode

I always love to see others loving AP. You enjoyed it so much but didn't seem to get the best joke in this episode: "I'm just eating some mousse (moose)". There is an outtakes video from that scene where the two of them cannot stop laughing - worth a watch too.

Before this series we had 'Knowing Me, Knowing You - with Alan Partridge'. Alan's TV chat show. Much funnier than this series.

You've only just started this, but to get more Steve Coogan, he did a few series with Rob Brydon called The Trip - they travel across Britain and Europe eating at fantastic restaurants, and basically it's for the most part unscripted and trying to outdo each other with their impressions buts its fantastically funny

The saying "So bad it's good" sums this up perfectly, Alan Partridge as a person is so awkwardly bad that he makes Alan Partridge the show so bloody good 😄

He played stan laurel

Me and the wife uses phrases he says all the time,it’s one of the best shows ever,I suppose it helps growing up with it and watching it on telly when it first came out

I suspect the "I've just been eating some mousse" line was lost on you guys there.

I once had a date from hell and the date asked me if I liked him sex wise. True story. It was so grim.

I've got a 12in plate wish I'd got 12in cook

Alan Partridge is like a bitter, creepy Michael Scott.

I'm great at reading the room but the room is usually wrong.

The title is wrong - this is actually s1 e2, Alan Attraction.

Whatever happened to the final two epsiodes of blackadder?

He totally isn't the same in everything he does. Check out Paul and Pauline Calf or Saxondale or his portrayal of Stan Laurel and Jimmy Savile.

That’s a spot on comment about Karl 😂😂😂

16:30 About Cars: Get an old VOLVO station wagon or SUV, cheap to fix and reliable, with good tyres and fresh breaking pads also safe. Yes - I'm from Sweden.

Loving this eating some moose 😂🍻👍🏼

Did you see Alan Partridge in Papa Alpha yet? Not time yet but it's a great film.

If I go to a buffet carvery (roast dinner) on a Sunday I make a wall of mash round the plate to hold more food😂😂😂😂

It's actually Alan Attraction not Alan's Attraction, it's a play on Fatal Attraction.

Love Alan you should watch Ted Lasso

Its an all ypu can eat buffet so the size of the plate doesn't matter.

We have a real-life Alan here. Check out Richard Madeley and Accidental Partridge.

KARL AND ALAN FROM SAME PLACE, MANCHESTER LOL

dudes you can listen to alan partridge podcasts on audible, 3 series! excellent listening 😂😂😂 its called FROM THE OASTHOUSE

It's really weird with the laugh track filtered out - have you got some kind of noise reduction on?

Your video title is wrong.

Can I just ask - how does everybody on here feel about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?

There's a youtuber called Charles Veitch. He vlogs almost everyday. He is a real life Alan Partridge except Charles Veitch is a big man & gets into fights all the time.

Pepsi all the way 😮😂 Alan Partridge gets better and better . This is great . Can’t wait for a certain episode with Fireplaces …. 😂

Absolutely, he has no social etiquette whatsoever.😂 Looks like this episode hit the mark with you guys big time....plenty more to come! By the way, it's Alan Attraction rather than Alan's but no worries.

"Long Stanton". Go on, have a guess where our farm was? About as isolated as a British farm can get. 7 houses in the whole district. Stanton Long rocks.

I think the title is incorrect

Watch the bloopers.

Just curious guys, and please, don't read anything into this question, but is there any of your home grown American comedy that makes you laugh as hard as Alan Partridge, Peep Show and Would I Lie To You? I have to say, as British guy, that The Simpsons, Two And A Half Men, Frasier, Spin City, Newhart and Family Guy have all had tears of laughter streaming down my face. There are other American comedies that have made me laugh that much but that's just a few.

I once took a girl to an owl sanctuary. It was a hoot.

There are a load of AP that are more radio based
