[@GenaF]

This show is fantastic but it's spoilt with the laughter track. We don't need to be guided as to the funny bits. I used to love the League of Gentlemen too but it had a totally unnecessary laughter track. In its final series, it went without the fake laughing and so many people said it was no longer funny. I thought it was the best series ever.

[@mantonythe1st]

​@GenaF I actually forgot that this show had a laugh track. Which is weird, because I've seen both seasons countless times over the years (literally, I couldn't possibly count the amount of rewatches) but in recent years there has been such a huge amount of Partridge content that my last rewatch was probably about a year ago and was followed by MMM, From the Oasthouse, This Time, two audiobooks, and some other stuff in between - none of which have canned laughter. So I kinda forgot it was a thing in IAP, and also as a result, I really noticed it in these clips - and not in a good way. I never really noticed it or thought about it before, but for the first time, I not only noticed it, but can't unhear it and actually found it quite distracting and thus a bit annoying. I'm sure on the next rewatch I'll be used to it by half way through season one though and not notice it so much, hopefully 😅

[@Twirlyhead]

The UK broadcasts didn't have a laughter track - Brits don't need to be told when Alan is funny.

[@MJN_SEIFER]

I actually like laugh tracks, and yes I'm English. I don't feel like they're telling me something's funny, so much as laughing at the jokes themselves, and yes I'm including fake audiences in this, as well. Basically, what I mean is; I don't feel like they're there to tell me when to laugh, I just feel like that's where "they" (regardless of whether they're real or not) are laughing, and if I agree, I'll laugh too. I find it no different to being in a room with other people (or even another person), when we're watching a comedy, and they laugh at something. I don't feel like I have to laugh when they do, but I will if I find it funny. Some programmes are genuinely recorded in front of a live audience, and I wouldn't be surprised if shows aren't given laugh tracks to recapture that affect, rather than to tell the audience when to laugh themselves.

[@Twirlyhead]

Regardless of what you think/feel they are there for laugh tracks ARE there to prompt the viewing audience when something is funny - that is their only purpose. If you like them then that's fine but I do think/feel you are showing very poor taste - Alan Partridge with a laugh track ? No !

[@MJN_SEIFER]

Twirlyhead Well, first of all, I just checked one of my TiVo recordings of I'm Alan Partridge, and there is a laugh track - I heard laughter around sixteen seconds into the show, so the UK Gold broadcasts at least had a laugh track. Secondly, if that's honestly what laugh tracks are for, then fine. I still don't feel like they're doing that, and therefore it doesn't annoy me, but that is my opinion, and I accept that you have a different one.

[@jasonbrown6184]

@@RaferJeffersonIII 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' was its own separate mock chat show to 'I'm Alan Partridge' series 1 and 2, which was a mockumentary of Alan's personal life after the show. Alan actually asks for a "second series" of Knowing Me Knowing You during the very first episode of 'I'm Alan Partridge' and is NOT granted one by Tony Hayers. Definitive proof, I'm sure you'll agree, that I'm Alan Partridge does not follow in the same chronological pathway of Knowing Me, Knowing You.

The feathers on birds are actually soft armour plates, my little brother hit one in the head it went crazy for a few seconds and stopped moving, so I waded into the pond and we then hid it under some leaves and bark bcz we were were about 12 and not supposed to hit living targets. We came back 1 hour later and were both relieved to see it was gone, we only gave the duck a concussion, 1 cm to the right and my brother would have killed it through the eye, he made a head shot on a duck was 10 out of 10 impossible. The family pet dog was following us had no training and would scare away our targets so my brother took care of businesse and shot the dog in the arse to make it run home, was only a pellet rifle but suitable for carrion.

My personal two favorites I've never been able to find again: - he's giving some sort of presentation to old people and he has one up on the stage in a headlock and he says something like "you now disarm the terrorist" - he's doing a radio phone in and someone writes in about something embarassing and he says "I'll just use your first name....
