Alan Partridge On The Royal Baby: I Like The Name Brian

[@maxington26]

Coogan doing a good job staying in character, pretending to be glad to be talking to Sky News. Now that's acting!!

Britain is unbelievably spoilt for comedy choice. I mean some of the stuff this guy is saying is absolutely hysterical

[@adammclaughlin845]

Not really any more, we used to have extraordinary choice, Game On, Bottom, The Upper Hand, Allo Allo, Some Mothers Do Ave Em, early Red Dwarf, George and Mildred. These days all we get are American stuff and the occasional Britcom where the biggest joke is someone using the F-word.

Alan must have misheard. Otherwise he would have said the Cathedral, the police station and the café in Marks and Spencer.

[@andrewbowen6875]

So funny when he mentions his celebrity friends like Bill Oddie and Noel Edmunds. Long before Partridge was concocted I had a best pal at school who I’ve still got on tape of us doing a similar character like a mix between between the Olympics commentators and the bad radio DJ playing Rick Wakeman and ELOs greatest hits. Just a brilliant character who folk can connect with as folk like Partridge do exist.

Alan has changed since the 90's that's for sure, but I don't know if that is deliberate or not. I mean not everyone remains the same over the years, people's personalities do evolve. Having said that, I do prefer the Alan of the 90's but that may be because that's where I found him.
