[@briansexton2011]

The way Alan gradually starts acting camper as the newer skirts come in is absolutely genius

[@DonLoganfan]

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Perfect comedy acting

[@pkpckls]

I love the sort of tragic implication that he would've been much happier in fashion than trying to make it in show business.

3 of the Best: Alan's Sidekick Simon | Alan Partridge | Baby Cow 1037am 8.6.23 have they gone and told these ladies they have a cat walk for a prime time tv show to attend and their, the ladies, faces say: you bastards!!! i enjoy partridge. i have no idea why coogan can't kill him off. i mean,.. seriously..

[@CK-ceekay]

Tim is an amazing addition to the world of Alan

[@MrBrownie77]

His telling of the night nurse story and losing confidence in the whole thing is amazing. Never ceases to make me laugh/cringe. The looks to the camera and timing of hitting the jingle at the end from Alan are also perfect.

[@howdj]

Who is Tim? This is Sidekick Simon.

‘Let’s look at another woman in a skirt’ That is a very underrated piece of script writing. So clever how he can articulate Alan’s thoughts in just one simple sentence

[@garbeal2397]

when alan asks him to feel the womans skirt fabric tims face is comedy gold.

[@VAPIDISM]

“Tommy, join me at the lady”

[@ManCave1972]

Having Alan step around the minefield of non sexist political correctness is another stroke of genius in the ever superb evolution of Partridge, which is without doubt the best honed and crafted comedy character in history.

[@theculturedthug6609]

Spot on. Alan is forever evolving and not revolving...

[@WillowJordan1979]

What I really like about it is, the humor doesn't actually mock minorities and women, it mocks the people trying to appear woke while being everything but. They did this very early on, like in "Partridge Over Britain" where Alan kept interrupting the female candidate and getting her name wrong. There are some things that aged a bit badly, like the "ladyboy" stuff, but even that wasn't really mean-spirited, the joke was always on Alan.

[@theculturedthug6609]

@@WillowJordan1979 You sound like a ladyboy lover.

[@WillowJordan1979]

@@theculturedthug6609 I don't find them attractive, it's just confusing.

[@jackcousin657]

The fashion segment is just pure genius. Love how he gets the name of the last model wrong

[@420meezle]

I've seen every Partridge thing going, but 'squeezed out of a giant tube of Colgate lady paste' is quite possibly my favourite Alan quote. Impossible to use day to day of course, but it really is top banana.

[@UnbelievablyGauche]

I'm waiting to use it but there is a severe lack of stripy skirts

[@zapkvr]

@@UnbelievablyGauche I've noticed that too although summer is coming. Hopefully this year

[@philpants44]

[@justacting234]

The way Alan pressed Simon to answer who else didn't find Anthea Turner attractive always gets me 🤣 😆

[@bobbyshafto3259]

This for me has got to be one of Partridge's best sketches ever. I can watch it repeatedly and it gets better every time !

[@lindseyscott3011]

'and that's a relish' is quality

[@lewthedrummer]

I really want to see Sidekick Simon open an envelope in a very unconventional way

[@paulgambino5144]

"Tommy join me at the lady" 🤣

[@stanistevens]

If I may make a suggestion for future Sidekick Simon clips, I would recommend the time Alan got very angry at Simon for tricking him about Internal Revenue calling him, and the time Simon left but came back during a snowstorm at the station.
