[@mikewilson714]

@@davidb6681 I remember enjoying Phil Cornwell when he did impressions of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Jack Nicholson on Radio 1's Steve Wright in the Afternoon, then the likes of Stella Street and the Glam Metal Detectives. When you get someone of his calibre alongside Coogan it can only mean lovely stuff is on the way.

[@davidb6681]

@@mikewilson714 Stella Street was awesome and the first time I’d seen Phil Cornwall. Star Stories was along the same lines and more recent,starred Kevin Bishop who I thought deserved more recognition for his talent. A bit like Phil Cornwall👍

[@jonevans870]

This is actually incredible writing. It takes some level of genius to think of something as tragic as the 'invisible dad' story. I love that they explored the Dave Clifton character more also.

This is my favorite Alan Partridge clip because for all his many faults, it shows that Alan has his good qualities - such as showing compassion for even his bitterest of rivals in Dave Clifton. And yet during the tender moment of his hug with Dave, Alan still maintains his radio professionalism by announcing the time to his audience.

[@louthegiantcookie]

Yeah, he's a bit eccentric, and more than a little bitter. But Alan's not altogether a bad guy.

I wish there was more of Dave vs Alan. It was gold.

[@grizcuz]

In a former life Dave 'Premium Lager' Clifton resided on Stella Street.

[@conormurnane6457]

It's a shame they can never go back to their old dynamic now, since their rivalry was so funny, but this scene is so good, it's almost worth it. The moment near the end of Dave's monologue when he finally drops his awful 'radio voice' is so touching, and adds an extra bit of tragedy. He really never switched off his on-air persona around anyone until now.

[@thesmithselvis]

Wow, never knew Dave Clifton's real name was Tom Barrington. Brilliant sketch, and the comedy timing between Alan and Dave was first class.

[@lukef3559]

it is actually his real name. I think they just never mentioned it. Glad they said.
