    Classic from the political debate 'A Partridge over Britain'. His jaw just dropped


    Alan Partridge: The phone lines are open, we have a call: David Silk from Leeds. David, are you there?

    David Silk: [voice] Yes, I am.

    Alan Partridge: Are you wearing any silk?

    David Silk: [voice] No, I'm naked.

    Alan talking about the Irish famine:

    "If it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater. If you can afford to emigrate, you can afford to eat in a moderately priced restaurant."

    Calling all pigeons.
    There's a cat amongst you.
    That cat's name is Dave Clifton purr-opping up the bar in his fictional "Nightclub".

    Better being in a fictional nightclub than in a fictional bath, Alan.
    It's better than having fictional listeners.

    It's bad enough sitting on your own in a real nightclub, which you do, but a fictional one is the worth of boast worlds.
    Don't you mean the worst of both worlds? No.
    I do mean the worth of boast worlds.
    In the world of boasters - not the biscuits but people who boast, like you - their worth is worth OK.

    We normally have three clocks on the wall, there. Telling the time in London, Paris and Dublin. Which is the same as London, but I do think sometimes you need to be reminded of that.

    Apparently you do. I was working in our London office this week and they had this on the wall:

    Reminds me of the story of the Englishman travelling in Ireland. He arrives at a train station fifteen minutes early according to the clock outside, so he stops to have a smoke. When he goes in, he realises he's missed his train. The train, he's told, runs according to the clock INSIDE the station, not the one outside. "Why on earth do you have a different time on the clock inside to the one outside?" he asks. "Sure, if they both had the same time on them, why would we need the two of them?"

    Alan: Right, OK. Shoestring, Taggart, Spender, Bergerac, Morse. What does that say to you about regional detective series?

    Tony Hayers: There's too many of them?

    Alan: (Pause) That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is, people like them, let's make some MORE of them. A detective series based in Norwich called Swallow. Swallow is a detective who tackles vandalism. Bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it's necessary. He's not a criminal, but he will, perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if he, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly...

    [Tony Hayers shakes his head.]

    Alan: Think about it. No-one had heard of Oxford before Inspector Morse. I mean, this will put Norwich on the map.

    Tony Hayers: Why would I want to do that?

    Alan: (Pause) Yep, fair point.

    Lynn: Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?
    Alan: The good news.
    Lynn: Well, Rawlinson's say you can have another fifty of the shop-soiled chocolate oranges if you plug them again tomorrow.
    Alan: Excellent. And the bad news?
    Lynn: The accountants say that since you've definitely not got a second series at the BBC you're going to have to sack everyone at Pear Tree Productions and close the office down. Otherwise they're going to declare you bankrupt on Friday.
    Alan: Right. Still, good news about the chocolate oranges.

    I like you. And I'll tell you why, because you are - and I mean this phrase in the original sense - full of gay spunk.

    ""All this wine nonsense! You get all these wine people, don't you? Wine this, wine that. Let's have a bit of red, let's have a bit of white. Ooh, that's a snazzy bouquet. Oh, this smells of, I don't know, basil. Sometimes you just want to say, sod all this wine, just give me a pint of...mineral water.""

    Well at this stage of the show, some of my viewers maybe thinking "Alan, You're a liar! You promised that this show would be hot and now you're chatting to three senior citizens." But if I said I am now going to jump into a TARDIS, go back in time and recreate the Berlin Olympics with these three old women, you'd say "Alan, that is hot, we were wrong earlier."
