I love partridge. It's comedy gold. The part where he lives in the hotel is brilliant.

Gale Ann Hurd blocked me on Twitter for my critique of The Walking Dead and I didn't even use abusive language.

I still think the show is quite fun. I just think it can be better.

Bert Cooper checking his watch when he asked if Roger was getting divorced already was a genuine LOL.Â

Another great episode.

By the first series do you mean the series where he is in the hotel or the series that is his chat show?Â
I never liked the chat show stuff but hotel and caravan stuff is absolutely brilliant.

You mean the entire first series?

Is that the part you mean? The 3 hours of TV?

Yeah, it's the Knowing Me Knowing You chat show stuff, it's a bit... shit.

Not without its charms IMO but I much prefer the Biopic stuff.

I do like this from KMKYWAP though

The first series of the box set is Knowing Me Knowing You.

The second series I'm Alan Partridge is the best. The TV version of Knowing Me is the weakest, the radio originals are much better.

EDIT: Wot everyone else said.

@XTC_NRG_4_DARKRAVERYeah If I was you I would jump onto the first series of "I'm Alan Partridge" then. The Knowing' stuff hasn't aged all that well. You may appreciate it more once you've learnt to love the character through the other shows.

You're confused and I'd ask you not argue Partridge with me.

Series 1 of I'm Alan Partridge follows Alan in 1997 as he tries to get his new TV commissioned on the BBC and the fallout from that inevitable decision.Â

Series 2 of I'm Alan Partidge follows Alan in 2002 after which he's written hisÂ personalÂ biography, Bouncing Back.

Knowing me, Knowing you isÂ definitelyÂ canon in the Partridge universe but is not to be confused with I'm Alan Partridge.

OK!?!?!??!?!

I didn't confuse it with I'm Alan Partridge. I also didn't forget it existed, forget it was the first disc in the box set Lawro was asking about, then double down and dig even further into the hole.

[Deleted User]

I just assumed this was the right order? The TV show spin off from The Day Today and then the fall from 'stardom' with I'm Alan...

Tempy

It is all in order Lawro, but KMKYWAP ain't that great.

Of course he originally came to fame presenting Scout About on t'radio.

Dark Soldier

Technically Knowing Me, Knowing You started in 92 on radio, so it isn't a proper spin off but then I'm being a boring fuck so okay.

Dark Soldier

Although technically The Day Today 'began (On The Hour)' on radio so I dunno it's confusing

Tempy

I, Partridge sorts it all out.

LAWRO NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH, MOD.

SERIES 1 IS SPECTACULAR

Back to Trek: TNG was a piss poor version of original Trek the first two years, but once Riker got his beard or The Borg turned up, whichever happened first, it had a fair number of excellent eps. The one that comes to mind is when Picard lives through a whole other life, due to a long extinct species' method of letting other civilizations know of their existence, and allows Picard to have a wife and kids, which is something he knows he'll never experience in real life.

I didn't really enjoy DS9, the much superior Babylon 5 was on at the same time. Voyager had Neelix, the most irritating Trek character ever, and had some of worst episodes ever - the one where Janeway devolved into a slug being the standout.

I really liked the last two seasons of Enterprise, they finally brought in some new writers, but by then most people had had their fill of tv trek.

g.man

Yeah, you definitely need to pick and choose your Trek eps regardless of series.

lots of dross

Through the wonder that is Netflix I'm working my way through Arrested Development, great cast and very funny off kilter comedy, my only problem is that it took me 20 episodes to realize the next episode bits at the end are fake and I shouldn't be skipping them, ffs.

Howdy, Stranger!
