Damn, I did forget that. What a fabulously cringeworthy yet hilarious scene. Have you got a battery for an Ericsson?

Thing about Alan Partridge is the timing. The bit in the second series where he's cleaning up from the fried breakfast and then starts playing bass to Gary Numan is absolutely brilliant and spot on. This doesn't show the preamble, but you get the idea:

"No way you big spastic! You’re a mentalist!"

Gets my vote too. The build up is sublime.

Sunday Bloody Sunday - really captures the frustration of a sunday morning.

I saw him recently on tour - I wouldn't say it was rubbish but I'll stick to the DVDs in future I think.

My favourite IAP series 1, it's all good though.

The old radio shows are good too, especially when he interviews France's second best racing driver.

Alan : "How do you cope with all the pressure?"
Racing driver : "I take a lot of drugs."

Both brilliant The Day Today quotes.

Along with "That keeper's got football pie all down his shirt!"

and the classic Tour de France "Looking down from the helicopter they look almost like cattle in a mad way, but cattle on bikes."

"No offence Lynn, but technically, your life is not worth insuring."

From Series 1, talking to the hotel porter:
Porter: "So what's your favourite Beatles album?"
AP: "Hmm, I'd have to say... The Best of The Beatles"

"Wings? - only the band The Beatles could've been!"

"God created Adam and Eve, he didn't create Adam and Steve. You could say, I'm a homo-sceptic."

Series 1 Flashbacks:
"Peep-hole Pringle"
Tony Hayers: "I like your thong Alan"
AP: "Yes, it's vulcanised rubber, therefore, it won't perish"

Love it. Gonna have to watch some soon!

Me too - saw him at Brixton Academy in October I think it was. Bit of a let down really, will stick to the magic that is the DVDs.

Least we forget... from season 1 of I'm Alan Partridge:

Lynn: You've you've popped out again.

Alan: Oh. [Adjusts himself again, with a sigh] That wasn't deliberate, I promise you. It's not a cry for help. It's just I've had these shorts since 1982. They did have an underpant lining, but it's perished. They've taken a bit of a pounding over the years. In fact, can you get me some new ones, please?
