This Time with Alan Partridge

It's great.. it's just Alan. If you have followed every installment including the books, you will see it as a very natural progression. The film wasn't as dense, but everything else is top comedy. Alan's character grows organically. The authors don't have to keep making new series, but when an idea comes, they work it into his biography very convincingly. It was a long wait (expected last autumn), so expectations were higher than for previous parts, which seem to have just popped up. The first episode wasn't perfect in terms of bits' lengths, but maybe it will make more dynamic sense in the series as a whole. It also ended with the weakest bit. But I can't imagine anyone who will not wanna see the next one.

Yes it's the same old partridge but thank goodness it is , it's funny , witty , immature and sometimes excruciating to see poor Alan trying so hard . Coogan has shown he has many strings to his acting bow and as a Manchester lad I'm proud of him . Even on Freeview there are plenty of other things that haters can watch instead , as for me I can't wait for the next one , Ahaaaa.

I love anything Alan Partridge. Mid morning matters was so different that it took some getting used to but now I really enjoy it. This time has only aired one episode and I really enjoyed that too. Some parts were hilarious and given time I'm sure it will be equally remembered as well as his other programs. I do want to see I'm Alan Partridge series 3 at some time though but 30 minutes of watching him do anything is good enough for me. Can't wait to see what the other episodes have in store.

Brilliant satire on bland tea time talk shows. Even the music rings through my brain as though it's real tepid awful true life. I think the reason people are saying they don't like it is because it's too close to reality.

If you expect I'm Alan Partridge then you'll be disappointed...however, what you will get is Coogan bringing Partridge into real life. Its very subtly done and very realistic. In my opinion better than knowing me knowing you which is clearly spoof. As for critics saying best leave a good character alone, i disagree. Some of his best stuff has been in recent times. Scissored isle for example. Long live AP..
