For anyone who hasn't seen any Alan Partirdge material, you gotta check it out. Truly Steve Coogan is a comical genius. I would like to start a new topic devoted to the king of chat.
I'll start with my favourite moment:
Scene - Alan is at Tandy's at an exclusive 'after-hours' Christmas shop. He checks out a CD player and pushes the open button.
"That's a nice action."
He does it again.
"That IS a nice action"
He does it once more. He's decided.
"Yep, that's a quality action. But I've got one."
It might not sound that funny actually but it is.

(self-defence expert teaching Alan about self-defence)
Alan: Now, to you and me self-defence is useful, there certainly are some strange people on night-buses that you
might need to defend yourself from, so here I am joined by Mr Eddie Jacks
Judo bloke: Hi
Alan: Now, self defence is more than just repeatedly punching someone in the face until they are unconcious right?
Judo Bloke: Yes, we teach people how to deal with everything from personal invasion of body space to a specific attack from
Alan: So no weapons?
Judo: No, you see -
Alan: No snooker balls in a sock?
Judo: Not really, we prefer -
Alan: What do you call those sticks with the chain linking them?
Judo: Er..nunchaka
Alan: I like those

Interviewing Jockey
Alan: So, you must be excited you won today
Jockey: To be sure Alan, to be sure.
Alan: And your parents, are they pleased?
Jockey: Well, I'll phone them tonight and tell them.
Alan: I thought they'd be here watching
Jockey: No no, they'll catch up with me when I go back and visit them
Alan: You're at boarding school then.
Jockey:...no
Alan: Foster child?
Jockey:...no, why?
Alan: Well, I thought a child like you would need a legal gaurdian to race horses during term time
Jockey:...I'm 34
Alan: What?! But you're tiny!
Jockey: Well, that's kind of the whole point there,if we were big, the horses wouldnt run so fast
Alan: And...and all the other riders, they're adults too? Short ones?
Jockey: Yes
Alan: Hahahaha! That's really strange.

Fantastic.
I'm buying those at the weekend then.
The Day Today has my favourite Partridge moment, the rally driving woman
"The car's the b--ch and you're the master...I like it"
"And remember, whilst driving like this on a rally track is big and clever, it certainly isn't on a housing estate."
Man, watch The Big Breakfast tomorrow, Richard Bacon is EXACTLY like Partridge, and not on purpose.
It's quite scary really.

They're out on video, but as for DVDs, they're a no show. The video box set is great, you get all six episodes of Knowing Me Knowing You, All 6 episodes of I'm Alan Partridge and I think you get the Christmas special, Knowing Me Knowing Yule. It also comes complete with a tie and blazer badge box set - no lie.
"Welcome to my mock-up home! This is a mock-up, I can't stress that enough, it's not my real home. Don't take that as an invitation to burgle my real home, because as we speak, a security guard named Steve is sitting in my living room, with two Alsatians, Binky and Ribbons. So don't even think about it. No, actually, do. Go on, have a go. Because you people are scum.
*Silence*
Anyway, on with the show!"

Yeah, the videos have extra bits at the end:
Scene: On board a boat for the boating promo, Alan dressed in a sailor's outfit.
"Ahaa, I'm Popeye Partridge."
can't remember the dialogue, but he pours a can of spinach all over his face and goes "In the cartoon it goes straight down"

I forgot how cool this show was.
Chis Morris as the farmer spokesman made it for me.
Can you buy these yet?

I can't believe no-one has made a game out of it yet.
"Am I right? You're not wrong."
"Am I right? You're not wrong."
I think someone has been watching these a little too often.
Although I did chuckle at the massive chicken one and "monkey tennis".

Has anyone seen the Abba medley? I forgot about that, that's my favourite moment.
