Advantages: Superb to see Partridge back on the screen. Brillant one liners, and the character of Alan is as usual top notch. Disadvantages: Dry storylines (but perhaps with reason). High expectations piled upon it because of it's predecessors.
I'm Alan Partridge Series 2 Review.
Alan Partridge is a name that will go down in history as the funniest man to ever come out of Norfolk. No doubt you will have heard of the infamously awful radio DJ and ex-TV star Alan Partridge, who has been on our screens for over ten years now, and no doubt you will know a little about the man himself. Played by the very talented comedian, Steve Coogan, Alan Partridge is a piece of comedy genius. In his patterned ... ...next level, and in 1997 I'm Alan Partridge Series 1 came out, showing the ex- TV star Alan to be living in a travel hotel and basically hitting rock bottom. The show was deemed one of the best sitcoms ever made, and certified that Partridge was a comic legend.
After a lengthy break, and much speculation from fans, Partridge made a return to our screens, in I'm Alan Partridge Series 2, on BBC 2. The series which was a follow up to the original series ...

Alan Partridge is a 40 something year old man. A bit of a loser, he started his entertainment career on a Radio 4 program called On the Hour. As it was radio, no one listened, but he was offered another job, BBC 2's The Day Today. He then hosted his chat show 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' whereby he interviewed various guests and pretty much insulted every single one. ... ...in the first series of I'm Alan Partridge. After offering suggestions for new shows (Monkey Tennis, Arm Wrestling with Chaz and Dave, Inner City Sumo) he steals some cheese and runs to his car with his ever faithful PA Lynne.

Advantages: it makes you laugh, fantastic lines Disadvantages: You'll quote Alan at the most inconvient times!!!!
...to review series 2 of I'm Alan Partridge. Plus it gave me a fantastic excuse to watch it again (not that i need one!!)...Oh and it was better than watching wrestling......What is it with blokes watching wrestling...mmmm the divas i expect. Anyway, going of subject here!!!!! Well sexy Alan is back (He's been gone for 5 years after suffering a nervous breakdown), and as good as ever in this even more fantastic second series!! Whatever Steve Coogan ... ...and naughty. In this series Alan has mangaed to get himself a 33 year old, Ukranian girlfriend, Sonja (played by Amellia Bullmore) and has now moved out of the hotel, into a caravan whilst his house is being finished. So we could say in some respects that things are looking up for dear old Alan in this series...He has even progressed on radio Norwich....to the third best slot, Norwich nights!!! He even presents a military quiz show called Skirmish!!! ...

Advantages: SILLY ,STUPID and VERY FUNNY 'STEVE COOGAN' Disadvantages: They only made 2 series
I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE series 2 Written By PETER BAYNHAM,STEVE COOGAN and ARMANDO LANNUCCI Stars STEVE COOGAN as ALAN PARTRIDGE. SERIES 2 Has 6 episodes Alan Partridge has failed at TV presenting and so he has moved onto radio his current position is ''the third best slot'' on a Norwich Radio Station. Lets Just say ,Alan has his own style and way of saying and doing things.He doesn't think much before he says or does something either to offend someone ... ...I mean you will no doubt find yourself using some of them in every day use after watching the series. 'Cash Back' 'back of the net' 'gotta laugh when you fall of a sofa' 'don't laugh.. you've broken your neck' 'ooo ya gonna have a good time' Better not list them all ,but that is a small few Alan really does have a bad case of foot in mouth for most of time whether its inappropriate comments to his long suffering PA lynne about how she looks or her ...

Advantages: Lovely stuff - not my words michael, but the words of shakin' stevens.... Disadvantages: First series is marginally better, you'll be quoting it to people who don't have a clue what you're talking about
Following on from the successful first series, Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) joins us once again a few years later....
At the end of the first series, Alan's production company has gone into liquidation and the Chief Commissioning Editor of the BBC dies before signing a new contract for Alan. Things are not looking up for the character you love to hate.
For those of you who do not know Alan Partridge, he was first introduced to us on "The Day Today', ... ...the pen of the ever weird Chris Morris.
We then see him again in his very own chat show 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' in which he manages to insult most of his guests etc. He fails to be given a second series! We then meet Alan again in 'I'm Alan Partridge - Series 1', as a disc jockey on the local Norwich radio station, hosting the graveyard shift and living in a 'Travel Tavern' after being thrown out by his wife (who is now living with her fitness ...

Advantages: Never gets old! You can watch it again and again! Disadvantages: That no other comedy matches up to it!
The second and unfortunately the last series of "I'm Alan Partridge" is a DVD that you cannot fail to worship and laugh out loud to. I especially liked the episode "The Colour of Alan" where he accidently pierces his foot on a spike (or a spiiiiiikkkkkeeee as Alan would put it) and then proceeds to do a presentation on fire-places with intervals of being sick on his foot. Yes, sounds interesting indeed.
The series is full of annedotes that will ... ...the grave. The characters are colourful and hillarious and aid in the pure genius of the comedy. The scenarios are inventful and create many cringe-worthy and memorable moments.
Special features are plentiful and are as good as the actual series. It is worth buying the DVD just to check out the main menu, i have never seen anything like it in my life! Alan partridge playing air guitar with a ring of options dipping and swaying with his movements. ...

Advantages: Absobloodylutely Hillarious Disadvantages: There arent enough episodes!
...the point when you watch I'm Alan Partridge series 2. If, however, you are reading this and are still making the assumption that Alan Partridge is a real TV presenter (albeit a failed one) then my advice is to back up a little and catch up with Alan's story before you dive into the masterpiece that is the I'm Alan Partridge series.
For those of you who may have followed the Knowing Me Knowing You chat show series (yes just one, the s**t at the BBC ... ...the following Im Alan Partridge series - the setting is simple. Alan, having failed in his quest for that elusive second series, finds himself the subject of a documentary for BBC2 which follows the mundane experiences of the Norfolk residing former TV presenter.
In series two we see how Alan has managed to resurect his career somewhat, with the second highest rated military based quiz show in the Norfolk area and his success on Norfolk FM - not ...

Well there is a lot to say about this DVD. First of all it is an absolutely amazing DVD as Alan Partridge is seriously funny. Second it is 3 hours long I believe with 6 episodes of half an hour which are all so funny. This is one of the best DVD's I have watched in a long time. If you're into comedy then you should definetely buy this DVD because it is very comedical. It's about Alan Partridge who is a failed chat show host and his life. There is ... ...where she does all the stuff he needs done and reminds him of everything he's doing. Now.. Alan is very mean to Lynne but it is the funniest form of comedy like this quote - ' Well Lynne, technically your life is not worth insuring!' This is when they are talking about buying life insurance for Alan so if you like the sound of the and find it funny buy it!!!!! Ace DVD, 10/10 ...
