I’m a big Alan Partridge fan, and so it was with some trepidation that I watched the 1st episode of Alan Partridge’s Mid Morning Matters today (sponsored by Fosters Lager)
There was no worry needed, this is good stuff: The writing is top-notch and the performances are great.
What was really nice for me was to see was some Partridge without a laugh-track. If memory serves, the final series of I’m Alan Partridge suffered by its comparison to The Office, which came out at the same time, and made the Partridge format look dated at the time.
Well this new stuff is great. Its obviously on a budget, but that doesn’t matter, I could easily watch 6 full-length episodes of this, maybe one day we’ll get to?
Come on Tony Hairs at the BBC, give Alan a 3rd series, you shit!
