[@ratcliffave]

Get Alan Partridge to present Top Gear.

[@AlisonBryen]

ratcliffave amazing idea!

[@canttelthetime]

Bobby Dukes yes I think the best three for the job would be Alan partridge, Edd China, and Mike brewer. Wish it could happen. Would be good viewing.

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

No words more truer spoken

[@duncanbirss4333]

ratcliffave partridge is great , top gear is shit

[@PlanetBongoSan]

this would be a rampant crossover success. 8 out of 10 cats can do Countdown then Partridge could smash the shit out of top gear

[@philtaylor2577]

Morris and Coogan. Lovely stuff! Not my words the words of Shakin' Stevens

[@Knappa22]

Piers Morgan is like this, only without the irony.

[@CycolacFan]

And the warmth, humanity, intelligence, humour, ego...

Piers Morgan and the covid 19 debates, very similar.

This isnt called irony

[@jayr7965]

Qanon makes Allan's fantasies seem reasonable and well thought out.

[@NorthWalesKid]

The way he says “yes you do” is one of the most underrated line deliveries ever

[@wurble]

I've always loved that line too (specifically the delivery). So matter of fact after such a ridiculous accusation 😄

this show needs to be renewed

A 3rd series would be great!

[@pkwimmm]

I’m sure there’s loads of bloopers for that reason

[@ejayman]

Chris Morris is the KING of keeping a straight face. This is child’s play compared to some of the interviews he did for Brass Eye with unwitting celebs

[@SagaciousFrank]

Think it's called acting and multiple takes?

[@JRK2669]

I saw Morris crack a smile at the yeahhhhh line

[@michaelfields1113]

2 genius comedy writer/actors at the top of their game: Steve Coogan and Chris Morris with, in my opinion one of the best comedy sketches ever written especially Coogans speech about the family picnic. Comedy Gold.

[@TheJoeMiller88]

Feels like Morris could have helped write this bit - feeding beefburgers to swans is exactly the kind of tweaked zoological concept he'd dream up.

[@imamoronand9199]

A lot of Armando Ianucci stuff is part written by the actors

[@redpillnibbler4423]

“A spinal column in a bap” is one of the funniest lines ever put to screen 🤣

It's true, they have big sheds, but no one is allowed in.......

[@MrEAus]

I tried to ask a man called Arthur Jackson about what goes on in there... But he only wanted to talk about his bloody symphony music; A shame really, as his nickname is "two sheds", so I thought he'd be able to share some valuable insights...

Nevermind Storm Area 51, it's farms we wanna be looking inside.

Just great banter.

This scene introduced me to Chris Morris, and made it one of my favourite bits of the whole series.

[@anthonyrobson3648]

You farmers, like to stick to your own !! 😂😂😂😂

[@MrMarcusirish]

Coogan's face when Morris tells him his comments 'were deeply ignorant and typical of the armchair pundits who forget to open their mouths' just class...both he and Morris defined satire, brilliant.

[@ianrhodes6928]

Needless to say, Alan had the last laugh.

"Do you deny that!? No..uh...his silence speaks volumes." I think we should get Jeff Goldbloom to play Alan Partridge.

the "yeah" at 0.39 and you know you're about to get something special from Alan!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I would pay to hear an improvised podcast with Steve in character as Alan and Chris Morris as Chris Morris.

[@ThisCharmingMan1984]

Pat Tanackered I know it’s not Partridge, but have you heard the improvised in character interviews Chris Morris did with Peter Cook? They are fantastic. I think there is an interview in an article, where Chris Morris talks about them. If you haven’t heard them already, I’d highly recommend them. All the best, from DAN!....DAN!.....DAN!........DAN!

[@Just_lift_anyone]

Dan1984 I second that, the Peter Cook sessions are brilliant.

[@somerandomguy2073]

Pat Tanackered: The conspiracy interview was exactly that. Coogan as Partridge and Morris as himself.

[@PaulDayPrivateEye]

You've heard the Chris Morris/Peter Cook stuff, right?

[@alfredjohnson2647]

Try 'On the Hour' (BBC Radio in the early 90s) - it's not improvised, but otherwise fits the description.
