Cautiously optimistic about this.

Can't help but look forward to it!

Loved when somebody asked him what his favourite Beatles album was, he replies 'mmmm I would have to say 'the best of the Beatles'

Hope they use that line in the film.

film!!!!!!! back of the net

Perhaps this could be one of the only TV shows to make the leap to a full feature that actually works. I would count the Inbetweeners movie as being one of the only others too.

I hope it's more Jurassic Park than Spice World.

The first X-Files movie was good.

Haven't seen the second one though, supposed to be muck.

if the critics pan it, Partridge better have a sit down interview with Ryan Tubridy where he swiftly asks him to "smell my cheese"

before calling him a mentalist and driving to Connemara in his bare feet gorging on toblerone

paddy kerins · 15-03-2013 8:28pm

Jurassic Park! Hopefully it'll deal with his crippling Toblerone addiction

charlie_says · 15-03-2013 9:21pm

Have you guys heard his audiobook? It's hilarious.

AHA!

As much as I look forward to this I also have my doubts. Knowing me Knowing you, excellent, I'm Alan Partridge, genius, Mid Morning Matters, quite good, Welcome to the Places of My Life, flashes of brilliance but not so good, that interview about books, not good. So I hope that this film doesn't fall into the trap of self satisfied comedy which is the impression I got from the trailer. The riffing on what the film should be called, meh, sort of funny but not laugh out loud hilarious funny. I hope therefore that it doesn't fall into the BBC warm fuzzy comfort zone variety of comedy or follows the current trend in British comedy towards the unfunny. That said I'm in a minority of one here, because I don't like any recent British comedy, the IT Crowd, The Inbetweeners, The Mighty Boosh, all leave me cold. But Alan Partridge at its best is amazing, I just think that once you reach a certain level of success the drive to produce something truly great goes. If the film is good to very good it will be a success imo, more Partridge is appreciated.

Why haven't you listened to the audiobook of his autobiography? It's possibly the best thing in the Partridge cannon. The book is excellent on its own but Coogan's delivery of the lines adds so much.

"Thankfully for me, Clifton has been unable to stem the bleeding from his knee. Even if I temporarily lose sight of him, I can always tell which direction he's headed because he leaves a trail of blood. He's like a large menstruating snail.. with a drink problem."

Welsh Megaman · 27-03-2013 5:32pm

Judging by the credits on imdb, the film is in good hands.

Peter Baynham and Armando Iannucci are on the writing team, Declan Lowney in the directors chair.

Mike Litoris · 29-03-2013 9:36am

Gonna celebrate with a savoury 99 and some microwaved bread. This has made my day.:D

Eggonyerface · 29-03-2013 10:15am

I love the way any partridge thread thread turns into a quote fest. So many classics

pickarooney · 29-03-2013 11:49am

There's more to Alan dan dis.

jaykhunter · 29-03-2013 12:14pm

Farmer - This is exactly the sort of rubbish you came up with the other day when you talked about putting a spine in a bap.
Alan - I admit that was a mistake. I shouldn’t have said bap.
Farmer - Well, good. Well, that’s a start.
Alan - Well, no, I should have said baguette. Because a spinal column would fit in a baguette.

Ah man, his understanding of Sunday Bloody Sunday is hilarious.

PerrinV2 · 29-03-2013 12:21pm

His description of the spy who loved me is classic

Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.

Strongbow10 · 30-03-2013 1:54pm

Alan: Excuse me but there seems to be a chap over there wearing Jeans, chap of about 4?

Waiter swiftly asks boy and his mother to leave

Alan: Got you on the old jeans rule eh? Nazi's. But with excellent facilities. As did the Nazi's.

Skid X · 13-06-2013 6:13pm

New Trailer out. Spoilery, shows the general plot. Colm Meaney is one of the stars. Also Lynn, Sidekick Simon and Geordie Michael!

MisterAnarchy · 13-06-2013 7:01pm

Trailer looks very poor

Looks a bit weak alright but I'll still go to see it. Michael is looking mad old now.

I genuinely think the trailer looks great. Shows too much plot which is standard now but I can't wait for it.

starviewadams · 13-06-2013 9:26pm

Looks okay,his voice sounds so different these days compared to I'm Alan Partridge.

Michael looks ancient,Lynn's looking well for a badger.

So it's pretty much Airheads in Norfolk.

"It's soft rock and cocaine enthusiasts Fleetwood Mac"

I'm going to see it. I'm just glad they didn't send him on holiday somewhere.

Reading that, in the Alan voice that I know, I lol'd but for some reason it doesn't have the same impact in the trailer.

Stereomaniac · 14-06-2013 6:19pm

I thought that line was very funny. The best comedy is merely when the truth is pointed out.

So.... you're saying I'm funnier than Steve Coogan?

Cheers dude.

pixelburp · 15-06-2013 5:01pm

The trailer didn't leave me rolling in the aisles, but I chuckled enough to think it could be a good 'un. Seemed like a trailer trying to set up its concept, rather than chucking all the best gags into a 2-minute window, which many a Hollywood trailer is guilty of.

And hey, as mentioned already, at least the film doesn't have Partridge going abroad on a flipping holiday.

paddylonglegs · 16-06-2013 3:07pm

It looks hotter than the sun

Won't mind sitting out this out until DVD tbh, but look forward to seeing it, which to be fair, is a mixed bag

Flatley my dear, I don't Riverdance - give a damn

I don't think the Partridge humour is naturally suited to a bite-sized trailer. Anyone who doesn't know Partridge wouldn't appreciate the quotes in this thread, for example. They shouldn't be funny, let alone ruddy funny.

The right people are behind this. The right people are in this. It'll work.

longer trailer goes on funnier it got cant wait see it looks good

nope, i would have liked a scenario of him coming on holiday to Ireland maybe Belfast and unwittingly wandering into a republican pub and saying offensive things about the irish and as a result has to go on the run in fear of his life:pac:
