#CRINGE DEEP IN THOUGHT TRAIN TV#
Partridge has a unique idea for a TV show that Jet herself was reportedly up for. It must not, I repeat not, turn into an all-night rave.” “Jet from Gladiators to host a millennium barn dance at Yeovil aerodrome.
Partridge has a rather insensitive misunderstanding of a famous U2 song that isn’t about the misery of a Sunday but a massacre that occurred in Belfast in 1972.Ĩ. It encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn’t it? You wake up in the morning, you’ve got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running around, you’ve got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think ‘Sunday, bloody Sunday!’” “Sunday Bloody Sunday.’ What a great song. He also believes that Wings was the superior Paul McCartney band.ħ. This comment was his response to being asked what his favourite Beatles album is. Partridge, despite being a radio DJ, doesn’t have the extensive musical knowledge you would hope from somebody in that profession. “Tough one! I think I’d have to say… ‘The Best Of The Beatles’.” Partridge offering a medical diagnosis to his beleaguered assistant Lynn.Ħ. “Calm down, Lynn! You are suffering from minor women’s whiplash” We’re not sure this station actually exists but we can definitely say that Partridge hates the UK capital.ĥ. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central, and Shattered Dreams Parkway.” “Go to London, and I guarantee you’ll either be mugged or not appreciated. Partridge attempts to settle a tense dispute at a power station.Ĥ. If I squeeze it, a jet of molten Bramley apple will squirt out. “The temperature inside this apple turnover is over 1,000 degrees. Partridge has a unique way of testing out the durability of toilets while doing an advert for a boating company.ģ. Earlier on, I put in a pound of mashed up Dundee cake, let’s take a look… not a trace! Peace of mind I’m sure, especially if you have elderly relatives on board.” “This chemical toilet is a Saniflow 33, now this little babe can cope with anything, and I mean anything. Will that show up on my bill?”ĭuring his days living in Linton Travel Tavern in the first season of I’m Alan Partridge, our hero would often get quite bored.Ģ. I was a bit bored so I dismantled my Corby Trouser Press. So, on his 30th birthday (lord knows how old Partridge is actually supposed to be), here are 30 of the best quotes and moments from North Norfolk’s favourite export.ġ. In 2021, Partridge now almost exists as his own entity, separate from Coogan, and has provided the general public with more quotes (most of which are part of the everyday lexicon now) and memorable moments than we can even remember. Spider-Man: No Way Home has inspired a very NSFW hashtag
It's perfectly plausible to suggest that Partridge is now so well known that his parody of awkward middle-aged men on television has now been superseded by the likes of Richard Madeley.Ĭoogan admitted during an interview with Jonathan Ross in May that he was “trying to be a middle-aged man and now I am one, so it’s much easier.” Comedy writer Armando Iannucci, who had a hand in creating the character, told the Radio Times in March: “It was almost like he was fully formed – the moment he started speaking, we laughed because we all thought ‘we kind of know this guy, we know his aspirations.” Through various TV shows, a movie, a book and even podcasts, Partridge’s cringe sensibilities and dated outlook on British life has endeared him to millions of fans and helped inspire other beloved British comedy shows such as The Inbetweeners and Peep Show. It was perhaps humble beginnings for a not so humble character but it wouldn’t take long before Partridge was a household in the UK. Steve Coogan was just 26 when he first played the role on episode one of the satirical news show On the Hour on BBC Radio 4. 30 years ago (August 9, 1991, to be precise), Alan Partridge was unleashed onto the world and few would have predicted that the character would still be enduring and provoking fits of laughter three decades later.
