spratters Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I highly recommend you get the audio book 'iPartridge'. What makes it so good is that it's over six hours of the Alan Partridge book narrated by himself. It is really good. What you need to do is set up an account on audible here: http://www.audible.co.uk/t1/Default30_at?source_code=VGR30DFT1Bk9004RA020812 It's free to set up and you get one month free. You can then download iPartridge. You may then, if you like, cancel the subscription but still keep the audio book. I'm not sure if this is the same for around the world but it's good for UK. T&Cs Free download available as part of a 30-day trial of Audible during which you pay nothing and can choose to download any audiobook for free. They will need your credit/debit card details to verify your identity and to prove you are over 18. You will not be charged during your 30 day free trial. Membership automatically begins at the end of your free trial and your credit card will be charged accordingly unless you cancel your order during the trial period (30 days). The free trial is only available to first time members of Audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I've listened to this book at least 5 times. I'd highly recommend it to Partridge fans. Better than the Foster's shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I thought "Places of My Life" was the film? Unless I'm mistaken, that would be very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd syside Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've been watching so much Alan Partridge the past couple weeks... AH HA! Seriously one of the best comedians and I have noticed many things borrowed from his writing, Colbert/Stewart especially. I imagine even Larry David was influenced to do Curb because of Alan.

Seriously one of the best comedians and I have noticed many things borrowed from his writing, Colbert/Stewart especially. I imagine even Larry David was influenced to do Curb because of Alan. actually LD had never heard of him before a showrunner suggested they get coogan on for a cameo for season 5 or 6. Too bad his part wasn't very good. LD comes straight out of borscht belt slapstick, and just combined it with his own internal neuroses. Latter seasons were far more slapstick as he got older, the buckner bit, groat's disease. anyway... day today alan is best alan for me. Alan, how much orange is there in a dead body? uhh... half a cup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd syside Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Interesting, I don't even recall seeing Coogan on Curb and I've seen them all, but it has been a few years. Alan - "So what bands do you like then?"Ben - "Nirvana...Alan - (looks bemused)Ben - Kurt Cobain, you know blew his head off with a shotgun"Alan - "Why?"Ben - "I dunno, he was depressed."Alan- "Why? Were they not very good?"Ben - "No, they were great"Alan - "Hmm someone should have told him" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd syside Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 One of the actors on the new film (they are filming now) put a quote up on Twitter the other day - "She's a drunk racist, Lynne. I'll tolerate one but not both." flol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granty Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 For me it goes: Audiobook I'm Alan Partridge 1 & 2 Welcome to the Places of my Life Mid Morning Matters The Day Today Knowing Me Knowing You You should check out 'The Trip' too - where Coogan plays himself on a tour of restaurants in the Lake District. Half scripted, half improvised, half truth, half fiction - its brilliant and strangely relaxing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
