Nope not a titter to be found.
It was a big yes vote from me. I enjoy it because the character is obviously a twat (who is oblivious to the fact that he is a twat) and you can enjoy his attempts at success but ultimate failure. But he is mostly harmless* so I don’t begrudge him his infrequent and generally insignificant victories. I am invested in this character having watched his evolution over the years, but not so much that I am happy to admit that I thought ‘Alpha Papa’ was shit, and the second series of ‘I’m Alan Partridge’ was lacking something. Highlights for me are series 1 of ‘I’m Alan Partridge’, and his Countdown to World Cup 94’.
Overall rating 8/10. Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaalllll!
*Nerdy reference for you nerds out there
I love Ricky Gervais as a stand up and his podcasts. Easily my favourite comedian. Yet I couldn’t care less about The Office, Derek etc etc.
If someone makes you laugh then thats great, same with music its what you like

People who don’t like Alan Partridge displaying lack of sense of humour…
Not quite as we dont think it is humouros so you will have to forgive us.
or
explain why it was funny so we understand.
I’ve only seen Alpha Papa the once. Wasn’t bothered about seeing it in the cinema, and you’re right, it’s a long way from the best the character has been.
Bear and I are both huge fans of the radio show, which most would consider a high point. The first season of I’m Alan Partridge was excellent too.
TV version of KMKY was very good, better than most stuff on TV at the time, but not as funny as the radio show. I can think of at least three guests from the radio immediately that’ll always be classics. Lord Morgan of Glossop, Simon Fisher and Conrad Knight, for starters. Pretty much that entire run is fantastic though.
Never heard the radio shows, I’ll have to check them out
