Why would a temporary presenter have been allowed to bring along his own sidekick for that role? Either the screen was aliways part of the show, but someone else used to use it (in which case, where did they go?) or it has been introduced to the show purely at the behest of Alan despite him originally only being scheduled to do the show for a couple of weeks. It makes the character seem shoehorned in a bit too much, as funny as those segments are. Can't read this post without hearing it in the voice of Alan Partridge - lovely touch that sets it apart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Didn't laugh much on first viewing with the third episode (putting that down to being in the throes of a hangover at the time) but laughed a lot more on a rewatch - think some of the jokes didn't set in right first time around but it helps to try to build a mental picture for some of the jokes in order to appreciate more fully (cats hissing at noel edmonds, chicken head ripped off in car park etc.) Gets better with every viewing, much like The One That Got Away by Chris Ryan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Watched the first two episodes and it didn’t really do it for me. Shame as I love AP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Got a soft spot for Partridge but this is a lost cause. Just isn't working out at all. How do you feel being a boring troll on a football website is working out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought the fact he's back on prime time TV after killing a guest would be more of an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The lookalike section was hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Not bad but probably the worst of the series so far for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Absolutely superb again. The “delay” over the webcam was torture. The Irish folk music at the end [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I liked the lookalike scene, and the inevitably racist centenarian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I thought it was tremendous last night. Absolutely went at: "Originally titled a different kind of abuse at the BBC, and then in brackets, not sexual" Can't believe they got away with putting that in tbh Edited March 19, 2019 by Ross Forbes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
