Me and my partner spend most of our lives shoe horning in partridge quotes into everyday life for no good reason, it's a bit like Python like that. If you like the interviews then start with the series 'Knowing me Knowing You with Alan partridge' before moving onto I'm Alan Partridge which is gold standard stuff, but it's all good!

2023-03-19 03:00:24 +0000 UTCThe two Irish writers are Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan who wrote Father Ted, that scene is from an actual sitcom called 'I'm Alan Partridge', Steve Coogan who plays Alan Partridge has done loads of stuff with that character right back since 1991, including appearing in other shows and series of his own on tv and radio plus a movie too.
