A Compendium Of Puzzles

I first saw this video on the amazon website listing for the book 'I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan' where it has since been taken off (or I just can't find it!

Alan makes a point that his book is 'A compendium of puzzles' and that "just when you think you've solved the puzzle, there is another" "Its as almost there are too many".

He then states "I don't see it so much as a book. More as a campaign and an assault on the nay-sayers and people say, who are they? 

"I'll tell you who the nay-sayers are, they look quite ordinary, they walk among you, they can seem benign, broadly positive even then you ask them a few innocent questions and ooh suddenly all their skin falls off"



Steve Coogan calls Jonathon Ross a CU*T

Here is another interview with Jonathon Ross this time Steve is just himself. Lots of sniping at each other in this one but in particular coogan manages to sneakly call Jonathon Ross a cu*t

Coogan and Ross have a good chat about one of Coogans other characters - Paul Calf...

Coogan: "i'd have to drop sooo many people in it"

Here is a clip of Coogan on the Graham Norton show. He says he was asked to do a 'Steve Coogan' Autobiography but he explains that "i'd have to drop sooo many people in it"

Find these interviews fascinating, so much cloaked sniping and interesting body language. But I'm asking you guys what you think?

Places of my life: Market Recap

Just wanted to add something I just noticed not in the original post:


Quote: "When I had a go at what he had been doing for the last 25 years it was one of the easiest things I had ever done in my life"



IGNORE THIS:
After three enjoyable and productive years at ITV, and after 25 years of doing my talk show I have decided that this forthcoming series will be my last. I'm going to take next year off to write my autobiography and consider other television projects. My thanks go out to all those who have worked on the shows down the years and the viewers for their loyal support and occasional kind words.

BBC Suicide: Russel Joslin

I've been expecting to see some suicides due to the investigations into pedophilia. So I was surprised I didn't read about this BBC journalists' suicide - Russel Joslin -  only one month ago, being reported. It involves sexual harassment and also note he is the son of a Police Chief

Killed himself with a plastic bag apparently???!!!? :S

Alan Partridge Clip Talk: Welcome to the places of my life
Reference Markers: 11:30 until  17:00 (min:sec)


In this clip I believe Norwich actually means London and the covered market representing the BBC. I'm quite sure of this as he explains that Hitler would of made his speech from Norwich City Hall had he succeeded in invading of course.

I find it interesting when Alan is looking from the city balcony and imagines Hitler barking his speech from their while he looks at the general public a little frustrated that they have no idea whats going on and who is really running the government. Perhaps also the fact that people are turning a blind eye to the obvious  evil that exists in plain sight.





Norwich Market Quote's

Quote 1: 
"As a tight nit bunch stall holders know anyone stupid enough to steal from them will be cornered by fellow traders even before they reach the market perimeter and given an absolute pasting"

Is there an atmosphere in parts of the BBC of physical threats if the powers at be are ever crossed. Isn't too far fetched when there's  reports of Jimmy Savile threatening people with his IRA contacts

The next scene is quite interesting and I would guess refers to the initial bullying from certain members of the BBC in his early years. He is ridiculed at first but then goes on to nail it selling loads of fruit or translated making a successful series such as AP and his other work of course after being turned down by 5 drama schools in London. Pay close attention to the name of the stall trader he trades places with. The scene then takes a turn for the dark with the trader portrayed as some sort of creepy fruit and veg vendor what do you think ?

PS. The market traders advice sounds awfully similar to the kind of advice you'd expect if hosting a chat show.

Quote 2:
"there was also something about mike on which I couldn't put my finger on"
"without the market stall to occupy him one shudders to think what sinister activities mike could of been drawn too"
