Honestly a reaction to watching "I'm Alan Partridge" would be legendary. Such an incredible series

100% need to watch the I'm Alan Partridge series in full, it's absolute peak UK comedy

Also the joke at 3:35 went completely over your head, look at the reflection in his shades 😂

the parody at the end on the pier of the film 'Falling Down' is genius

4:29 Cuddly Toy by Roachford. Great song, great band.

The actor who plays the firearms cop you seemed to recognise is Sean Pertwee. He played Alfred Pennyworth in the US series Gotham and was in the UK horror film Dog Soldiers, among many other film and TV appearances. His father was the much loved British actor Jon Pertwee who played Doctor Who in the 1970s and who was such a large part of my childhood.

When Alan is in the shed, did you notice what was in the reflection of his glasses lenses? ;) 03:33 I wonder if the algorithm will.

THANK YOU for watching Partridge, you’re a star!

Colm Meany plays Pat brilliantly.

It's the reflection in his glasses at 3:35 which gets me every time. Subtle humour is far funnier to me than the more "in your face" stuff.

Alan Partridge is hilarious, Steve Coogan does make some funny films, the parole officer is the one I distinctly remember. Also as a movie reaction recommendation, you should watch 4 Lions, such a funny film.

The tune is 'Cuddly Toy' by Roachford, a hit from I think the 90's

The song at the start is Cuddly Toy by Andrew Roachford. Used to be a favourite of mine too.

Mid Morning Matters is the finest Partridge work. Surpasses all previous efforts imo.

I remember seeing this in the cinema lol, love Alan Partridge

Alan admits it wasn’t the best it could be but it has some very funny moments

The song at the beginning is called "cuddly toy" - by Roachford

This has to be one of the best spin off movies, so many great lines. You need to react to all AP content!

The song is Roachford Cuddly Toy, if I rememeber correctly.

Great track, Cuddly Toy by Roachford

STEVE COOGAN IS HILARIOUS IN EVERYTHING HE'S DONE!!! REMEMBER "NIGHT AT MUSEUM" HE'S THE ROAN GENERAL OCTAVIUS (MINUATURES).❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

“I’m Alan Partridge” is as funny as comedy will ever get.

The Trip would be a trip for you both.

I like it when he's in the car dancing to roachcliffe 😂 I used to be like that myself driving to work 😂 🙌

3:24 Alan is looking at naughty images they reflect in his glasses

So before this alan had a chat show called 'knowing me, knowing you with alan partridge' (one series) then there were two series of seasons called im alan partridge which is about when he loses his talk show. Then there's two seasons of webisodes when he works for North Norfolk digital. Lots of viewing material

Sean Pertwee. Superb. Dog Soldiers. Worth a gander.

I love watching your videos. As an Essex boy (from the UK) it's lovely to watch other people react to our comedy. I get that sometimes you don't get it but your reactions are priceless. Thank you for liking our comedy as much as I love your American comics.

The Deputy Chief Constable is played by the incredible Anna Maxwell Martin, who is one of the greatest actresses of our time. Her show Motherland about a group of mums and a stay at home dad is wonderful, one for Queen B to enjoy as parenthood looms, love to you all x

The 2 tv series of 'im alan partridge' is about 10 times better than this film.

That was fab. 😂 ♥ 2:18 I have that exact pic of AP in a coaster that I made. 🙂 My wife left me soon afterwards. 😃 Back of the net! ⚽ Glad you enjoyed this. I do hope you try a full episode of one of Partridge's series, the tv stuff is far superior to the film - though I did enjoy the film. I'd highly recommend; 'Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge' (1994) is excellent. In this Alan is a rising star and has his own chat show but he is a very tactless and inept presenter and is often extremely rude to his guests. 30 min episodes. 'I'm Alan Partridge' (1997 + 2002) is outstanding. After killing a man live on air, Alan's career has taken a sharp decline. His wife has left him. And he now lives in a travel tavern near a motorway, he desperately tries to get his career back on track with the help of his assistant Lynn. But makes no attempt to get his wife back (she's a fat cow). 30 min episodes.

I'm Alan Partridge series will always hold a special place on my hard drive, right next to Inbetweeners and Johnny Vegas' Ideal series.

He's still got the gun.

This is all filmed about 20 mins away from where I live. Norfolk has always been a big part of Alan Partridge and one of the few things that it's known for. Glad you enjoyed! Check out Norwich when you get chance!

They are all different because of the teams of writers involved. Earlier Partrdge involved Armando Iannucci, Peter Baynham, Stewart Lee and Richard Herring. Later ones were with Rob and Lee Gibbons and so there are subtle but noticeable differences.

4:12 Fun... Dull fact. In this scene where Alan looks to the left to tell the driver they have their fog lights on he is, as provable by Google Maps, actually in the left most lane so there can not possibly be another car there

We got this film on dvd when it came out. It’s like an anthology to I’m Alan partridge.

The bit where the police tell Lynn that Alan has her as his next of kin, she thinks a moment and says "take me to him" - genuinely makes me tear up.

as per the other comments - definitely do "I'm alan partridge" EPIC series

If you haven't, I recommend listening to the podcast and audio books 😂 they are great.

To get even more context about Alan, you should delve into KMKY (Knowing Me Knowing You). It was first a radio series then a TV series, a chat show but was cut short due to 'an incident' in the very last episode. Very, very funny. Both were well before the TV series I'm Alan Partridge. Even before KMKY he appeared regularly on The Day Today... it's certainly part of his story, and it was a great programme (a satire on news hosted by Chris Morris and created by Morris and Armando Iannucci, tonnes of other content to get into from both of them...Iannucci also co created and wrote KMKY) but there's little need to go back that far, I'd recommend KMKY.

I wouldn't watch unless you've seen all the series' first.

american comedy= aggressive, shouty...british comedy = awkward, understated. its no coincidence you like the guns and violence part being from the united states of england

Excellent thanks for watching this (I was in the crowd in the movie as it's local to where I live in Norfolk 🤣) like others of said definitely watch the shows if you can! I know it's harder to watch BBC shows over there.

I’ve recently been watching this again and I was hoping you would find it! I watch all your stuff big live from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Alan and the receptionist! Just clips watch that and you will want to watch everything this guy has done he’s a genius 🍀👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

agree with everyone who said the show 'im alan partridge' is def something you should watch its amazing!!

Jason Tresswell is in my dad's school photo 😄

Fkn love Alan Partridge, so funny 🤣🤣

“Feck da police” 😂

Funnily enough I only watched this this afternoon...awesome film..

Never seen, Thank you nutty boy for showing. Laughed too on occasion. 🇬🇧👵😊

I always felt that this didn't escalate as much as the Simon Pegg trilogy, but should have done. Steve Cougan should have called Pegg up. "We're just not there with the third act yet, old chap. You did the zombie thing, so what should we do with this one, old mate?" Pegg: "My advice, old chap, is to fuck the budget and go nuclear as soon as possible. It's the only way." If Alpha Papa had somehow found a way to include a nuclear war sub plot, it would have been appropriate and I would have enjoyed it much more. I Pegg had written it, and Edgar Wright had directed, the nuclear war plot for Alpha Papa would have been the start point. But Cougan thinks he's so much better than literally everyone else in his industry. So this is what we got. Funny in parts, but mostly weak. A real missed opportunity for a top class farce.

Yes I agree about the tv series

Wow. Can't believe it's almost 10 years since I saw this on the big screen.

Another series that's worth reviewing if you aren't planning already is The IT Crowd

I've seen a lot of Alan Partridge stuff but have not seen this before. From what I saw I thought it was quite good.

The song is "Cuddly Toy" by Roachford from 1988 :D

Have you watched any of the series yet?

You should watch the Scottish sitcom - Still Game. Although I’d recommend having subtitles on for that one! 😂

Withnail & I. Funniest film ever. Just a suggestion :)

Really hope you can find season 1 of, 'I'm Alan Partridge' it's so funny

Yes, that is "the chick from the Inbetweeners movie who was shacking up with Neil", i.e. Jessica Knappett, who also wrote and starred in "Drifters" - about a group of post-university, Inbetweener-esque girls - must be on your list! (originally Channel 4 / All4)

The song is "roachford - Cuddly toy"

You need to watch ..knowing me, knowing you with Alan partridge and then I'm Alan Partridge..Both brilliant series.

Mid Morning Matters is probably my favourite AP writing.

Next you'll be watching the David Brent movie before watching The Office!

Should watch the british film sightseers, another comedy

Roachford, cuddly toy is tune at start

Filmed partly in my hometown of Mitcham. Watched some of the filming

Have you watched I’m Alan partridge the series yet? Only two series but hilarious - miles better than the film 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Alan Partridge is hilarious. You wouldn't know from this film that he loves Thai ladyboys!

There's a continuing series after this, after he's been sacked, moves on to small town night shift radio. Its HILARIOUS, TOO!!!😂😃😅😄😪

song - Roachford Cuddly Toy

The song at the beginning you liked was by Roachford and called Cuddly Toy

This film won't make any sense unless you first watch The Day Today, where Alan Partridge first started

The cop at min 10:37 was the big brother screen hologram type guy in Equilibrium if I recall correctly. The voice is very familiar.

YES! I really needed this today!

Great film

That jingle has no right being so fucking awesome.

the trouser scene thats happened to me in an upstairs window once no police and no one saw luckily

I never really liked Alpha Papa, but the actual 2 series of im Alan partridge is probably the best U.K. comedy ever

"The Parole Officer" is a great Steve Coigan movie with a few GOT faces you'll recognise... Cersei and Stannis

You need to start the Partridge journey from the start, (maybe including his Sketches on The Day Today and Brass Eye) Knowing Me, Knowing You (Aha). Then both series of I'm Alan Partridge.

I'm on pilko watching binge an your notification came up and had to watch. Boomer I love your humour an reactions, brilliant mate 👏

The strike team guy is Sean Pertwee, you may have seen him as young Alfred in the Gotham TV series?

brilliant reaction, loved it

I think the detractors are way too harsh on Alpha Papa, it's not the sitcom by any means but it's up there with classic Partridge in my books.

You should watch 'This Time With Alan Partridge' Hilarious series

Me and the wife tried to get into Alpha November Alpha Lima but it wasn't really our cup of tea.

lol the guy from star trek

another series worth watching is taskmaster if you like the inbetweeners it’s hosted by Greg Davies the head teacher

Colm meaney (pat) played chief o brian on star trek TNG.

Need to see I'm Alan partridge before watching this really.

Love this movie! And interestingly similar situations have taken place in the US, most notably James Hoskins armed takeover of WCPO in Cincinnati.

Alpha Papa gets better with repeated viewings. As a massive Partridge fan, I really disliked it at first but the more I watch it the better it gets, the jokes land better and there’s some genius moments and classic Partridge in it.

Couldn't show THIS movie in the US. It certainly _wouldn't_ be a comedy, anyway. There, it's almost cliché that when HR sacks someone, they return armed to the teeth, shooting the place & the people to kingdom come.

You have to watch the shows! You've done a great job so far of reacting most of my faves, and Alan Partridge is a massive gap in your output (just from a personal preference POV)

I'm jumping in here to add another mention for Saxondale, which is glorious in its own way. Agree that early Partridge is better way to start the journey. For me, I'm Alan Partridge is the pinnacle. Not keen on the new BBC show. I think Alan works better for me as a grasping failure than he does as an inept success. Just my opinion.

Not watched your reaction yet but l hope you “get “ Alan , l love this guy . I was thinking of recommending him to you..

I would highly recommend phoenix nights man and paddy’s road to nowhere (in that order) also Peter Kays car share and misses brown’s boys
