Alan Partridge Abba Medley - Knowing Me Knowing You - BBC

Alan Partridge performs a medley of Abba songs with Singing sensation Gina Langland.
Taken from the classic comedy Knowing Me Knowing You (1994) which saw Steve Coogan’s bumbling sports anchor character from The Day Today (1994) get a shot at his own “chat show.”

Quality television. Can't believe they didn't give him a second series, the shits.

[@bettyswunghole3310]

What can I say, except that there's something very short sighted about a producer that won't even pick up a golden idea like "Monkey Tennis"?

[@Doc_Filth]

What’s so good here is that it’s never Steve Coogan singing as himself. Every inflection stays in character as Alan.

[@efs120]

Don’t lose sight of the great Rebecca Front also doing that!

Its at this point where you realise the whole 3 minutes had to be in the correct key to get him to this point...

[@petersteman6557]

2:49 She checked the time on his watch. I've never noticed that before as I am usually focused on Alan 100%.

Holy moly. Must've watched this dozens of times over the years. Never saw it. Good spot.

Coogan is actually a passable singer of course, as Tony Ferrino proved, but like Les Dawson and his piano-playing, you need to be good to look bad.

Like Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins.
