Product Information

I didn’t laugh once, which is rather spectacular. Not even a slight smile. There was no bite or edge to the comedy; there wasn’t much comedy at all. The jokes were very safe. It seemed to steer away from all controversy and danger. Especially when you compare it to similar parody stuff like Brass Eye and Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe (and others), it just wasn’t in the least bit funny. David Kent (2006).

He was briefly a big cheese with his own show, he was still deluded when he was at the hotel. He now realises he’s well out of it but he has a chance. Of course he’s not going to wear a big-shouldered green blazer and have his hair parted with glue like before. Times have also changed.

As a Partridge fan of many, many years who can probably still quote far too much of the really obscure stuff, like when he was on the radio doing KMKYWAP (smelling salts anyone?) I really enjoyed it. Sure – it wasn’t as good as ‘vintage’ Partridge – character high point for me, Jed Maxwell – but it’s unfair to expect those heights every time. jimstinks ‘Too clean and realistic’

Knowing Me Knowing Yule - the Alan Partridge Christmas Special. This show is available in VHS format. I’m really not sure what it was going for. I’d rather have simply watched The One Show (and I really don’t like The One Show). Was the whole thing about how Steve Coogan is even more desperate for the pay cheque than Alan is? I wouldn’t have thought so. Definitely one to skip next week. pretentiouspenguin ‘Thank God it’s not Mrs Brown’s Boys’ Alan went on to appear in two series of the sitcom I'm Alan Partridge, following his life after both his marriage and TV career come to an end, though the latter was subsequently revived. It was generally well received by fans and critics, and was nominated for a BAFTA and a British Comedy Award.But it was Alan’s other catchphrase which best surmised the show. “And on that bombshell,” Alan would always say in the closing moments, exuding Clarkson-esque vigour, as the show befell some new disaster of Alan’s own making. In the UK, "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was one of the biggest singles of 1977.

Knowing Me, Knowing You drew inspiration from what David Schneider calls “comfy cardigan chat” – a burgeoning trend in the early Nineties. “Just as The Day Today was preying on news, Knowing Me, Knowing You was preying on chat shows and morning TV,” says Schneider. “It was contemporary in that way – morning TV was really just exploding. I think that was Steve’s great talent – to swallow all these different people, whether it was Alan Titchmarsh or Richard Madeley or John Motson, and come up with this amalgam that you immediately recognised.”
