Alan Partridge meets The Milky Bar Kid

This is taken from the 2005 'Alan Partridge presents the Cream of British Comedy'. This is the sequence towards the end where Alan introduces the audience to the original Milky Bar Kid from the 1970's Nestle adverts (played by the brilliant Simon Pegg). Little does Alan know what a sad life 'The kid' has led since his heyday as a child star; and how much this has affected his state of mind!

[@IndependentGeorge76]

I knew the guy that played the Milky Bar kid in the 80s, and the truth is actually more tragic than this. He's a Man Utd fan from Sussex.

[@fisseklaeb]

haha

[@daveenglish2]

It's worse than that. He went on to form the Village People, hit the drink & drugs big time & Cliff Richard turned him round.

[@daveenglish2]

..appeared on Jim'll Fix It, was a backing singer on Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys album, went off the grid as a recluse in Stoke, moved to Rochdale & was befriended by Cyril Smith, MP, became a born again Seventh-day Adventist, had a trans-gender op & then it all went wrong - changed his identity & can now be seen scraping a living as a panellist on the Loose Women show.

Of course, in the fictional world of Alan Partridge, there will only have been one interview with the Milky Bar Kid, but this will have been witnessed on many occasions by viewers and it is great that it is not the same routine every time, for me watching this the first time there is new material. Good stuff!

Acting in this kind of comedy live bit requires enormous talent. And you can't laugh - it would kill the setup. Yes, Coogan & Pegg are brilliant actors. I only wish there would be more major well-scripted films utilizing their talents.
