Steve Coogan may not know it buthe is one of rge best therapists out there. Whenever I am feeling down (which is often) I just put on Alan Partridge videos on YT and full-throated laughter ensues. And it doesnt matter how often I watch the sketch, it never fails to make me laugh. His genius with language, his facial expressions etc. mean that even when I know what's coming, it still works. Thanks Steve (or should I say Alan)

[@eyemoeba]

it's interesting to watch this in 2021, given how much the Alan Partridge legacy has grown since this was shot. i'm so pleased he's stuck with (or more likely couldn't shake) the character. it did bother me when he hit this middle ground and seemed to be struggling a little with his direction and identity. he may have many strings to his impressive bow, but he needs Partridge to anchor him to what he is - a talented, funny englishman. Steve is a national treasure and Alan Partridge is pretty much an institution in the UK now, even in Steve's mind. he is the arrow for Coogan's bow: a genius character that he can play until the final curtain.

[@harrisonhighland7416]

are you sure it was 02? he mentions an upcoming movie with ben stiller, which i think is tropic thunder (2008). also the us office disnt premiere until 05.

@@johnnykennedy4669 I often wonder how he got to be such a celeb. I think it's because at the time he came up, anti-professionalism was all the rage, with Jools Holland and Paula Yates as TV presenters and Ross as a talk show host. He's not as famous any more, though he thinks he is, but he's the worst interviewer I've ever seen. I suppose the stars have to go on his show because they can't all be on Graham Norton, and that's what keeps him going. But he's a pain to watch. I only came here to see Steven Coogan flush his head down the toilet.

I’d love to see Steve as the next bond, he’d be great and would bring back some wit to the character along with charm both of which have been missing since RM left.
