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.
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"
