The greatest comedian England has produced in my view. Somehow Steve (and let's give credit to his team) have brought a richness to the English language that rivals Dickens. I have listened to the audio book a number of times and just saying it's very funny is insufficient. It's a masterpiece of humor that sparkles with brilliant literary creativity. When I was a child Hancock was the master of this style but unlike Steve he was not comfortable in his creation and in his own skin and never managed to develop his character as Steve has done or find comfort in other genres. Steve has paced himself for years in how he developed Partridge and has distanced himself by taking on other roles. I do think he is our greatest comedian as he has created a character whose longevity is extraordinary and managed to consistently breathe new life into the work. Like Dickens he has brought enormous joy to people over a very long period of time, elevated the medium and reinvigorated our language in the process. Back of the net!

I’m going to put my head above the parapet and say what we’re all thinking. Nay, nay, and thrice nay (for I am a naysayer of which you speak). You Sir, Alan Partridge, are half the broadcaster that Edmunds is, and your jealous and tedious sniping at him must cease. I have read your “book”, and was sickened by your disparaging and catty remarks about the Sainted Noel. Yes, you may both have suffered the misfortune of a shocking and unexpected death in one of your prime time TV shows, but that’s where the similarity ends. To ascend to the level of Edmunds you must not only present a primetime TV show, but also devise a method within it of pricking the pomposity of celebrities through a medium such as the “gotcha”, or Mr Blobby. Only those who have ascended to the top of the celebrity world truly understand its intricacies enough to know when others (I’m thinking of DLT, Chegwin, Carolgees, and many other chancers from days gone by) need taking down a peg or two in front of a prime time Saturday night audience on BBC1. Just thank your lucky stars, Partridge, that Edmunds chose to retire House Party - lest you become the subject of another of Noel’s surgical take-downs of those in public life who deserve it; Chancers, toadies, and those no-marks who’d simply ridden their luck were not safe while Edmunds was policing the world of UK celebrities. I fear that you; a man who, let’s face it, is a contemporary, but not an equal, of the great Lord of Crinkly Bottom himself, would have been royally gunged long ago were it not for bigger targets such as Blair (Lionel), Thatcher (Carol), and May (James) being higher on the hit-list. Oh, and trace away little man. I have the combined might of the Edmunds-massive behind me. I fear not a second-rate broadcaster and his veiled, but ultimately empty, threats.
