[@shia_labeouf]

This is one of the best things when rewatching any of the Gibbons era Partridge; the face acting. Tim Key is especially great at it on Mid Morning Matters. Watching it back I spend more time looking at him than Alan cos his reactions are hilariously awkward.

Patridge hasn't reached his zenith. He keeps getting better with age.

Alan has his old style sexism in there , added to that his need to become camp to join in just shows his inner struggle to fit in with 2021 TV. With that said , I'm sure I've seen Richard Madeley do exactly the same thing 🤣🤣

[@andyharpist2938]

I was thinking the same actually myself. I was on the M62 ..just past the services at Kendal I remember it was snowing, just like it always does there of course and i rang Judy and she said Im in bed with a cosey warm chocolate...Not that she often indulges but then so do I ..no sugar for me though. But I prefer wine myself, as I said to Bill Clinton when he was on my show..he agreed though we both had had some bad press back then...Not that Ive got anything against the checkout lady.No. she couldnt have been nicer.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes... No!

[@georgeohunt2263]

Sidekick Simon's face throughout this is brilliant

[@escarglow4261]

What I love about this is how - especially compared to a lot of other Alan Partridge stuff - it's a very sweet moment in Alan's broadcasting career. In his usual ham-fisted, awkward, naïve way, Alan just gets genuinely excited about nice, affordable fashion for middle aged women, and the idea that it could make them feel good about themselves.

[@dnbfreddy8451]

except there's some frustration too... 'Lets look at another woman in a skirt.' gets me every time!

Honestly one of my favourite segments of the show! The details are brilliant, my favourite was when he was talking to the last model saying "perhaps a shocking pink clutch bag" which every woman knows that red and pink is the worst clothing combo - the two should never be seen together! 😂😂

[@aidanlee8804]

I always think it must be so painful for Steve and the brothers to write the show, as they have to get everything right or ‘wrong’ in Alan’s case, pretty much through the entirety of his dialogue. I’m sure they may have had to search up fashion faux pas, just for that one line.

[@arnyagal]

@@aidanlee8804 They really hit the nail on the head with their writing, even down to the nuances!

[@aidanlee8804]

@@arnyagal 100%. Something that’s made it easier for the writers & made it even more enjoyable for the listener, is: (and Alan would be delighted I’m comparing him to this,) is that Alan has become almost like a James Bond character/series, in so much as the fact that Alan’s character & plot lines develop simultaneously with current affairs; whether it’s news stories/fashion/cars/politics/social media, we get to hear Alan’s view on these topics. A lot of the time, we already know what his opinion will be before the words have left his mouth,(a good example, would be that we all know Alan would be Pro-Brexit.) Somehow, despite the fact we know this ahead of time, it makes us laugh even more when we he does eventually say it, perhaps because it complies with our confirmation bias on Alan & it just gives us that satisfaction we’ve all been waiting for. 😂

[@arnyagal]

So true, I love it when Alan tries to be hip and trendy but can't quite let go of his conservative views! Also when Alan can't help but put in the occasional 'digs' about certain topics, people or politics - classic example, the Irish TV producers, or even with Ruth in this show. We we're really hoping he was going to get her back, and then it was a sigh of relief when it finally happened 😂
