Didn't know the BBC did a BBC+1 day thing.

Most of us watched it on Monday night. But what is more funny is that there are idiots that think this is A REAL SHOW!!

Well I don't watch much tv, this thread is the first I've seen of it! Seen the BBC logo on the top corner so presumed it was on BBC!

I never seen the show before. Picked it up on Twitter. Was it on the BBC?

Horrible stereotyping, we all know ders more to Oirland dan dis.

joeguevara · 20-03-2019 3:46am

The fact that the person who was singing and the presenter are the same person didn’t seem suspicious to the people who thought it was real?

Kermit.de.frog · 20-03-2019 3:51am

Real or not the fact it was on tv at all is quite remarkable. I think it's hilarious. How he even got away with that I don't know.

I'd say it's flustered some though!

You have clearly never watched any of his stuff before.
Go and spend a few hours watching him and then you will realise this is actually kinda tame

What do you mean got away with it? It’s a fake comedy show. It’s a joke. It’s not as if he was singing ooh ah up the rah on this morning with Philip schofield

What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

You still don't get it do you?
Alan Partridge is a fictional character
Steve Coogan plays both

You can be a bit of an odd one sometimes.

What do you mean 'got away with it'? It's a tongue in cheek comedy show.

Or is it simply that any mention of the IRA deeply upsets your sensibilities?

Trigger Happy · 20-03-2019 11:24am

He had the south Sligo accent nailed to be fair.

Wheety · 20-03-2019 11:27am

It wasn't live. Filmed months ago. It's a spoof. Relax man.

El_Bee · 20-03-2019 11:28am

It's part of our culture, just because a small minority of Irish were bloodthirsty terrorists doesn't mean we all are, don't spread hate & Irishphobia.

TerrorFirmer · 20-03-2019 11:52am

What am I missing that a) people though this blatantly obviously comedy show was real and b) are acting like he mocked Mohammad on Saudi State TV.

jimgoose · 20-03-2019 11:55am

Martin Brennan is a fantastic character. Great stuff, Coogan! :pac::pac::pac:

cherryghost · 20-03-2019 11:59am

The funniest part is the MI agent beside him enjoying the tune til IRA is mentioned. My sides were splitting

The crap daytime magazine shows/ evening chat shows we produce here that make Partridge look like the height if sophisticate presenting. If you've only ever watched our homegrown drivel it wouldn't occur to you that Partridge is fake.

JohnnyFlash · 20-03-2019 12:00pm

Partridge is comedy’s greatest creation. A fictional national treasure.

The English can have Partridge for their national treasure if Coogan gives us Brennan.

coogan is a genius.
he nailed that character, the look, the accent.
spot on.

It's just not on their education curriculum at all.

Sure Churchill and Cromwell are seen as heroes in the UK but have very poor reputations here.

Look at the ignorance of Ireland over the border issues with Brexit.

Which is odd in itself since he killed so many royalists.

There was a lot of recent social media apologies from English people after Black47 film.

They had no idea about the famine, and their part in it.

That was most likely the point behind the pure devilment of the character imposing his sing song on Partridge. Coogan was taking the piss out of English attitudes to the Irish. They think they've got a simple Paddy on their hands and patronise accordingly. In response he amps it up for them in buckets, all the while enjoying the fact that he's getting a rise, but never lets on. "Who da hell is DAT? " ×3. !

"Aitch!"

I don't think a lot of people on Boards get the idea or humor of Alan Partridge

Similar to Dave Allen nothing is sacred.

Franz Von Peppercorn · 20-03-2019 1:17pm

That Sligo guy really looked like Alan, though he had different teeth.

I don’t really see Alan partridge as a very good interviewer though, although people rave about him.

Franz Von Peppercorn · 20-03-2019 1:18pm

I suppose he is better than Turbidy or Ray D’Arcy.

You do realise he's not a real person?

WinnyThePoo · 20-03-2019 1:22pm

Sure didn't partridge have his first BBC chat show cancelled because he accidentally shot someone.

I love the way there is still comedians out there willing to push the boundaries. The irony in this is that BBC have become this 'woke', PC, diversity obsessed, broadcaster so its strange that they sanctioned it.
