Unbelievable.

I love the bit when Alan tries to high five the annoying smuggins Ben!

Alan interviews a jockey at the racecourse:

I never really got Alan Partridge.

*ducks for cover*

But it doesn't stop me doing the "ah ha" inspression all the time. I think he was on before I was seriously glued to TV.
"I don't like The Bill, honest."

Remember to put a prediction in RED!!!

Now I'm not a massive fan of the second series of I'm Alan Partridge. I think even Steve Coogan agrees that his unsubtle portrayal of the charater was too cartoonish and a lot of the dialogue was unrealistic with certain scenarios going too far. However, it had it's moments and a highlight for me had to be Alan forcing a seedy encounter out of his mind with happier thoughts of playing arcade games at a service station!

Here's a useless bit of trivia for you: the woman who Alan's trying to impress in that sketch played Sebastian's kid sister in Brideshead Revisited, if memory serves. I remember making the connection at the time when her name came up in the credits (although ironically I can't remember it for the life of me now!).

EDIT: Phoebe Nicholls! Thanks Wikipedia :lol:
