Thread: I've been watching I'm Alan Partridge. The Linton Travel Tavern series.

  1. #1

    I've been watching I'm Alan Partridge. The Linton Travel Tavern series.

    Apart from the fact that it's 20 years old (20 years!) what strikes me is how very, very funny it still is.

    wd the repulsive luvvie steve coogan.

    The chocolate mousse bit.

    Have any 20 year old comedy series tickled your fancy recently?

    It's absurdly good. And, more remarkably, it bears repeated viewings. It often irritates me how much credit Ricky Gervais gets for The Office, despite the fact that it was in so many ways a substandard rip-off of Partridge.

    I didn't enjoy the Italy one as much as the first one and fear lest it turn out to be a diminishing returns job. Hope not, though.

    I preferred the first series too. Last week I thought we were visiting one of the sites they went to - Bolton Castle but then I remembered they went to Bolton Abbey. Neither one is in Bolton, but I think Roose Bolton probably lived in the castle.

    Always found it ****ing hilarious and always will do although I always preferred Knowing Me Knowing You (aha)

    When ever I bump into Men behaving Badly I remember how good/funny that actually was.
    'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
    But different than the day before'

    'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'

    'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
    Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'

    It has a special place in my heart because it made me visit Cumbria for the first time
