I’m Alan Partridge is undoubtebly the greatest comedy to have ever existed. Closely followed by BrassEye, The Mighty Boosh, The League Of Gentlemen and Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace. All being worthy contenders for the number two spot.
I must have watched both series of Partridge in full at least 127 times and not once has it failed to make me laugh. My favourite episode has to be The Colour Of Alan from Series Two. A bit of the episode that springs to mind is – upon discovering his ditsy Ukrainian girlfriend Sonja shouting at the builders, after their reaction to her scatter cushions wasn’t what she expected, Alan bursts into the room shouting, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That’s English for stop a horse”, before apologising on her behalf and carting her back to the caravan.
I am therefore presenting I’m Alan Partridge with The Spam Fritter Comedy Award. Of which I’m sure Steve Coogan will be most proud of.
