Alan Partridge Interview with Richard Bacon (2 of 2)

BBC Radio Oct 2011

[@lmmayer8770]

Really is great banter.

[@paulbentley2709]

Top of the range ...

[@robkirchhof133]

11:55 "That's how bad it's got, in my head". Defining the era. Well said, Alan!

[@clothilde1623]

That's always enticed me _snort snort snort_ 😂

[@diverguy3556]

3:08

[@bob76bobby12]

It’s an amazing snort

[@jackspinner1]

Ainsley Harriot's inherent frivolity was at odds with the gravitas of some of the passages in the book hahahaha

[@LondonSambaDancerBellydancer]

Brilliant

[@CaneCompany]

That's how bad it's got, in my head

[@jamesguy1030]

CaneCompany ~ Yeah, Steven is a Comedy Genius. . His Comedy always makes me laugh, especially Alan Partridge and Paul Carr .

There are a lot of Easter eggs in this, like the mention of John Stapleton being considered for Alan's audio book as narrator... Stapleton is widely considered to be one of the sycophantic, self righteous presenters Coogan based the character on... With a large dash of Richard Madeley (who started in the North at the time Coogan was coming through). And the repeated mention of the Daily Mail and private detectives... Didn't Coogan himself sue them? Or one of the news papers. It's all good, like Alan himself - works on many levels.

[@profhannigan]

Had to replay the enticed me snort 5 times

[@CaroleUCoope]

Ever been on a 'Partridge Pilgrimage' through locations in Norfolk? Try it, its a good laugh - Blicking Hall, Norwich Cathedral, Cromer. Partridge is just the best!

[@bobscaricatures8581]

A Partrimilgrimage?

[@willmurray5678]

Bob Tangle A Pilgrimartridge

[@bobscaricatures8581]

LOL. Hope there's a cracking owl sanctuary involved :)

[@purerizzo]

Bob Tangle Or perhaps Longstanton spice museum?

[@bobscaricatures8581]

Top banter. Equidistant between chit chat and analysis.

[@bumbaclartish]

"usually find the bath's biting point within about 3 minutes" hahahahaha

[@SmugSuspenders]

"This is relaxation, not Abu Ghraib" xP

[@marshhen]

This is the funniest radio interview I have ever heard. It makes me burst out laughing over and over.

[@PurushaDesa]

"I start with a concept and try to work backwards towards a pun." That really is how devising and commissioning factual entertainment programmes work. Still better than Channel 4 who take complex societal problems and reduce them to Benefits Street and The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off.

[@daveyboy85m32]

[@emer157]

The boy who's skin fell off was great

[@william-uk]

“The boy with an arse for a face”

"That's how bad it's got... in my head"

[@dmacks]

Alan's Sceptred Isle... he took it to Sky for £300k

[@nickrad6966]

Slightly rebranded as “Scissored Isle”

[@tomb4496]

Some of the best of Alan's cannon

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Smell my cheese!, go on, smell it you mother!

[@audreydempsey7269]

Thank u for makening me laugh today l really needt it 😂😂😂

[@giants2k8]

We need a weekly Alan Partridge podcast.

[@MilesMetal]

Check out 'From the Oasthouse'.

[@AndysEdits]

the baths biting point line has infected me with laughter

[@flaggerify]

Funny to hear AP’s take on Dacre.

[@Netlife-001]

Lots of criticism of R.Bacon in the comments. Load of rubbish, he's very good. Take my word for it

[@edrooney9580]

The amount of likes for that comment would suggest so..?

[@libre-tad6283]

The only one on radio more Partridge than Bacon is Ian Payne.

[@edwardbrady5843]

Richard Medley?

[@bencheshire]

this is def the unedited version, really can hear how the sausages is made with the multiple takes...

[@emmadeeba2038]

The Eamonn Holmes banter is hilarious 😂

[@funkmasterflex]

Thanks for uploading this. Its hillarious

[@paulmurray6071]

chat at its best

[@cbjgdicad1]

I could listen to Alan 24 7 365....

[@markpurdie7608]

Love AP wish he'd come back for another series just 1 please!

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Yea that crap one show thing he did recently was dire

[@MrWalla47]

😂😂 ...Bacon is almost a younger, true-life version of Alan Partridge! This interview has had me cracking up!

[@libre-tad6283]

The concept of a Bacon/Partridge conversation... Laugh out loud

[@user-jm6iv2om5g]

Va a c

[@SgtMallard]

Alan's sceptered isle.

[@chuzzwozzer]

Bacon & Eggs, Bringing home the Bacon, brilliant ideas!

[@hufclufc]

He knows Alan so well, he can just ad lib all day long.

[@edwardinho6185]

Hope he gets a second series featuring Bill Oddie.

[@johnboro64]

Mans a genius

[@martinradcliffe4798]

"Monkey Tennis" from Taiwan is now available on KZbin.

[@adamglasgow9268]

Coogan using the comic ignorance of partridge to show his real feelings about the daily mail editor lol anyone else notice that?

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Yep, he hates the daily mail, he chose it as Alan's newspaper as a slight to the paper, check out his conversation with paxman about phone hacking

[@GST51]

Yes , because for all his Comic genius ..Coogan is a patronising , left wing , champagne socialist , virtue signalling shithouse who is totally detached from the experiences of normal working people , his wealth insulating him from the collapse of our country ! Like many of his sort , His political opinions and prejudices have clearly not changed since his sixth form " student politics" position .. despite the vastly changing world we have seen over the last 30 odd years .

[@Catonius]

"Lovely stuff," not my words, the words of Shakin' Stevens.

[@aiferapple1246]

Steve Coogan has repeated several lines during this interview so they can be edited out due to not liking the way they are said.... but they haven't been edited out for some reason. I wonder if this is simply the original or that they never realised thats why he repeated himself several times?

[@MrAgbxl]

Yeah live radio does that

[@andrewmorrice9139]

I thought it was a bit weird.

[@MatgoStyles]

@@MrAgbxl It wasn't live, it was pre-recorded

[@MrAgbxl]

@@MatgoStyles are you on an E or something

[@jabt2023]

He is a pro and gave them a better take but they must have assumed it was just a character thing and kept it in

[@coolvideos8864]

love the daily mail bit. Im glad Steve did it.

[@robinhughes8822]

Richard Bacon is brilliant just is Alan aha

[@gnuttz1972]

Feathered Dogs 😂😂😂😂

[@phillipbailey70]

I know the automatic captions are in beta, but even so, I can heartily recommend them - watch out for the mention of 'Mike Tyson's back'...XD

[@SandrineAnterrion]

"Phone hacking is like Andrew Lloyd-Webber?"-_ "Exactly!"

[@malbig2344]

If they made Bruce's autocue any bigger it would look like an opticians test...

[@doublecrosserfm]

3:08 I nearly died. Pretty good interviewer actually!

[@hanktheblesseddeejay]

[@cautionTosser]

quickly and humanely destroyed... fuck. my stitches!

[@NosyFella]

Back on the BBC!

[@taxibeforesunsetclips7629]

I thought Alan was an only child... was he imagining a brother hiding the ping pong ball? 🤔

[@royfr8136]

Bacon what a xxxx

[@Wolshanze]

“Alan’s fat back” a six week series where Alan delves into the world of the weird and wonderful of peoples dietary regimes !

[@paulbentley2709]

It's different to Dennis Chambers Fat Back, that's for sure

[@AmericasChoice]

Partridge > Coogan

[@matt004474]

Great interview

[@springerspencer]

Brilliant.

[@Spartanm333]

It's look I like to call Sports Casual...

[@w8m4n]

Big in the back time!

Forbes Mcalister. 🌹 r.i.p.

Allen Lymilt Forbes… [clicks fingers] Glenn? … McAlister.

[@paulmurray6071]

Bob your spot on

[@richardcooper1598]

geese: feathered dogs

[@SmugSuspenders]

Makes sense

[@nickwyatt9498]

PutinWithAnimals: About time someone said it.

[@trippymchippy8586]

I'd watch _Eggs and Bacon_

[@adroharv9213]

ugh Richard Bacon

[@RedCyanPhotos]

Good natured obscenities! 😂

[@johnking5174]

Richard Bacon knew how to play this interview game with Alan - so please, don't think Richard's attitude here was anything real, it was part of the act. Same way Clive Anderson, Jonathan Ross have interviewed Alan. Steve Coogan tells them in advance to be more confrontational with Alan.

[@liamj2363]

Feathered... dogs.

[@earthacademy]

its all in the details... X-) (the strap is optional)

[@patchso]

Alan’s younger brother!?

[@highnoon7097]

Oh Richard.... Guess who's big in the back time!

[@Weeman44444444444444]

Alan says on this he has a younger brother but according to his biography he is an only child?

[@ellulturner]

Weeman44444444444444 dum dum dum

[@garethbundy]

Alan is the kind of man who would CREATE a younger brother, in order to fabricate a supporting comparison in his justification of torture at Guantanamo Bay. As he has.

[@80srenaissance67]

Grandad Graham ?......grandad

[@SadAnorak]

Super

[@chuzzwozzer]

Feathered Dogs PMSL!!!

[@hufclufc]

Still relevant. Change Big Society into Build Back Better. It's all Thick of It meaningless sloganeering.

[@LizzieMc]

This is pure genius

[@gregjones8412]

About half of the show is very funny. In other words, the parts where Coogan is talking.

[@Chrispy01a]

AP can smell my cheese anyday

[@royfr8136]

[@jimsteele1272]

Bill odie

[@monkfan72]

The first part of the interview was funny.

[@johnny2f55]

10:30 Paul Dacre

[@FINDINGFITNESS101]

Couldn't tell who was who tbh!

[@benwilson9017]

Alans ahead of the times as usual with political correctness

[@matt004474]

Hilarious

[@owebbo]

It's not.

[@bksclips1234]

It's not

[@mikeymantler1560]

out loud

[@ivorbigonee]

partridge did scissored isle.

[@simpsonmark]

Monkey tennis !

[@wgaule]

Bacon comes across as more obnoxious

[@cardigan3000]

meta- bitterness over leveson

[@swirlingfudge]

Bacon plays it wrong. The tone of rudeness doesn’t work and distracts from Coogan

[@kianucollis3929]

Coogan brilliant. Bacon useless.

[@hufclufc]

It takes two to tango

[@paulbentley2709]

Bacon stooges very reasonbly

[@princessbubblee699]

"Middle class white people". Egh.

[@rabbitss11]

Richard Bacon has zero charm but thankfully Alan held things together

[@maldegaar]

Respectfully I have to agree to disagree. If you're interviewing somebody in character you have to do the same and play the straight man. Bacofoil is usually very charming and relaxed interviewer.

[@nickwyatt9498]

The perfect Bacofoil in fact. A play on words arising from the juxtaposition of bacon - as in Richard Bacon - and him being the perfect foil to me, Alan Partridge. Hence Bacofoil. Do we have another caller?

[@wattage2007]

Pity he decided to bring his social justice agenda in at the end. Leave the politics out Coogan, it's not funny.

[@jamescarr4662]

But it is right

[@ThePowersThatBeef]

Brilliant, loved it... but..the waterboarding joke should have been left out
