Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge Season 1 Episode 2 Reaction

[@CatsAreRubbish]

You're right, the "Angela Lansbury" is dubbed. It originally said "Jessica Tandy". It could be because she died literally 12 days before the episode first aired in September 1994.

[@Isleofskye]

I would never have known that and did not pick that up.

[@louisemagill8295]

Me neither !

[@robertgould1345]

Thanks. I always wondered why it was dubbed.

[@Isleofskye]

@@louisemagill8295 lol.. I ,obviously,haven;t got a good ear and I'm Colour Blind. I might as well end it now

[@BenjaminNavillus]

@@robertgould1345You took the words out of my mouth. I’ve always wondered about that too, as it was clearly dubbed in.

Patrick Marber is great in this and The Day Today, shame he didn't appear in more.

[@sports872]

@@chrisbfreelance yes, I would have liked to have seen him in even a small part in any of the recent series. Not sure why he hasn't, a lot from the start of Alan Partridge have appeared on his various series. He played loads of good characters on KMKY.

[@secretsymphony]

The transwoman was played by Minnie Driver who would become a famous movie actress. Angela Lansbury was a famed British actress during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She later became known for the American mystery TV series, Murder, She Wrote.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

She was also involved, it is claimed, in a bit of a clash with Steven Toast 😊

[@77jamess]

Great big flapping hands like a bloke! You could have been a goalkeeper!

[@c_n_b]

[@sports872]

😂😂😂 What a series. Delighted your watching it. Mid Morning Matters is up there with Peak Partridge, just him in a radio studio so it's joke after joke and more much Partridge than anyone else. KMKY is peak Partridge too. I can't wait to watch the series to see your reaction.

[@smithyc2051]

Coogan as an actor is incredible,but as partridge he is truly outstanding 😂😂😂

[@politirel2]

Guest Gary Barker played by Patrick Marber stated he punched Jessica Tandy and threw her copper kettle at Whoopi Goldberg, but the name was hastily re-dubbed to Angela Lansbury when Jessica Tandy died a few weeks before broadcast. The original dialogue can be heard on the DVD release but the re-dubbed version continues to be used in repeats.

[@54spatula]

I’m thinking you’re gonna enjoy ‘The Day Today’ and ‘Brass Eye’. Chris Morris’ satirical masterpieces. Starring Alan Partridge 😂

You've never heard of Angela Lansbury? She's a prolific actress, famous for Murder She Wrote, Bed knobs and broomsticks and The Manchurian Candidate.

[@andyptv1996]

I'd wager he would recognise her face. I think her face is more famous than her name.

[@neilsun2521]

I used to watch Murder She Wrote but I didn't recognise the name.

[@mikem10481]

The other Alan Partridge is John Thomson. He was in the Fast Show, being the presenter of Jazz Club. Nice!! 👌

[@sports872]

He appears in Alan Partridge - Scissored Isle and his latest series This Time.

AP's first TV show, The Day Today, is great.

[@thedukeofnuts]

Every day, The Day Today.

[@neilsun2521]

There's some legendary stuff in it. Like Fur Q - 'Uzi Lover'. And that segment which is basically The Office 8 years before it was made.

Amazing that you are reacting to this, your selections outshine all the other reactors in my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to do them.

[@liverush24]

Young Minnie Driver 🔥

[@louisemagill8295]

Angela lansbury is the American actress from 'murder, she wrote'

[@KRPTV]

My favourite scene from this episode is the conversation about the copper kettle being thrown at Whoopee Goldberg's cat and the whole confusion about whose cat it was and whose copper kettle it was! This must be the edited down version that was shown on TV because when he says the copper kettle belonged to Angela Lansbury, that was actually dubbed and what he really says, as shown in the DVD version is 'Jessica Tandy's'.

[@77jamess]

About the punched Angela Lansbury line, I believe it is real, it’s just how Patrick Marber speaks.

[@CatsAreRubbish]

Nah, in the original version he says "Jessica Tandy".

[@77jamess]

@@CatsAreRubbish I never knew that. But now I do. Bye!

[@robertgould1345]

The magician is in many of the Alan Partridge series. He'll keep popping up. He was also the train driver at the end of the first Mission Impossible film with Tom Cruise.

[@thedukeofnuts]

Also appears at the beginning of 28 Days Later, and also briefly in The Saint.

[@thegoose126]

Great how much you love AP, one of my fav comedy characters. The film is great too which is rare for a spin off.

[@MrJimithee]

I think this is the birth of Alans curiosity about lady-boys

[@JackRascal]

I hadn't heard the horse poo was an accident, I thought it was a deliberate spoof of a TV event. Lots of this references real events - there's a bit of a show with a guy called Noel Edmonds where he takes a journalist to task. ("TV Quick", btw, is just a really cheap magazine, which is why it was funny - low rent.) I think this is a great series, really fun to watch it "with you". As for the Angela Lansbury, I think it was just the character's weird accent. (Angela Lansbury - British actress who had big success in the US, probably most famous to this generation for a series called Murder She Wrote.)

[@Gretchluver1]

It's an overdub of Jessica Tandy, who died about 2 weeks before the episode aired.

[@JackRascal]

@@Gretchluver1 Ah, so it WAS an overdub, Josh was right... thanks for the information.

really hope its possible for you to react to his radio show at some point soon

[@hb-fc3jj]

I like his reactions but watching someone react to audio - which is in itself a personal experience - would just be bloody weird. When people make TV they have loads of visual humour to play with, lots of time for gaps in the audio. With radio comedy it is pretty full on as those non audio cues do not exist.

[@gostopstopgo]

mid morning matters is the name

[@hb-fc3jj]

@@gostopstopgo No sorry mate but Alan Partridge's radio show was a series on BBC Radio 4 in 1992 called Knowing Me, Knowing You.. with Alan Partridge. Same format as the 1st TV series but different fictional guests/jokes etc. It was a complete single series radio show of 6 x 30min episodes and a 7th behind the scenes mockumentary style episode. Mid Morning Matters is a sitcom based in a radio studio from the perspective of a webcam showing edited highlights from the presumed thousands of hours worth of Alan's daily show. It was never broadcast on the radio. I'm only being pedantic because there is a brilliant radio show in KMKY from 1992 and is a must listen for any true Partridge fan. And Josh reacted to all the Mid Morning Matters episodes ages ago on his Patreon. Jack a knack a nory.

In case you didn't know, Alan is a parody of an actual British "presenter", Richard Madeley. I use the term presenter loosely because he's now just a right wing grifter on UK's biggest (smallest) comedy channel, GB News.

I remember Maidley interviewing O.J. Simpson. And comparing his own arrest for stealing Champagne, with O..J.s arrest for Murder. He described his trauma and then said "and I was innocent".
