This Time with Alan Partridge

If you love AP, then you are in for a treat.

It's not the AP from KMKY, but a more mature, eloquent AP, now in his 50s and still wanting to be that big BBC star.

Every single minute is packed full of cringeworthy text and facial expressions.

Steve Coogan in his element.

To the guy who wrote it wasn't funny . You obviously don't have a sense of humour pal.The whole show was pretty much funny .It was classic Alan .I loved it Worked brilliantly .

I would concede that this isn't for everyone, it's not going to have a universal appeal, but for those that like Alan Partridge, and have an awareness of The One Show, will have an appreciation for what's happening here.

You will never be able to watch The One Show in the same way, Partridge tries to launch a TV career on the BBC following a few problems. Coogan is a terrific performer, it is totally cringe worthy, but enough going on to make you laugh.

It's not classic, but is funny. 7/10

I love anything Alan Partridge. Mid morning matters was so different that it took some getting used to but now I really enjoy it. This time has only aired one episode and I really enjoyed that too. Some parts were hilarious and given time I'm sure it will be equally remembered as well as his other programs. I do want to see I'm Alan Partridge series 3 at some time though but 30 minutes of watching him do anything is good enough for me. Can't wait to see what the other episodes have in store.

It's great.. it's just Alan. If you have followed every installment including the books, you will see it as a very natural progression. The film wasn't as dense, but everything else is top comedy. Alan's character grows organically. The authors don't have to keep making new series, but when an idea comes, they work it into his biography very convincingly. It was a long wait (expected last autumn), so expectations were higher than for previous parts, which seem to have just popped up. The first episode wasn't perfect in terms of bits' lengths, but maybe it will make more dynamic sense in the series as a whole. It also ended with the weakest bit. But I can't imagine anyone who will not wanna see the next one.
