The new Steve coogan / Alan partridge comedy, was really looking forward to this, but what a massive let down, not remotely funny imho apparently there are another 5 episodes, I doubt I'll bother, booo

Shame. Missed it.

I thought it was ok. It started off very realistically with the One Show type setting but got more OTT as it went on.

I never found him funny.

Never found reeves and Mortimer funny. But bob on would I lie to you is a breathe of fresh air and hilarious.

We’re all different in what we find amusing eh

For me most situation comedy has to have an underlying thread of believability to it. Watching this last night I was continually thinking that Partridge is so bad that there is no way he would ever have been employed in that role.

Having said that there were some "moments" in it. The hand-washing and hygiene bit did capture the essence some of those trivial, purporting to be serious, features you get on The One Show and, in the past, programmes like Pebble Mill.

Susannah Fielding was also very good, and very believable, as the co-host.

Personally I really enjoyed it. Some real belly laughs at some stages and I thought the One show parody idea was pretty cool. Also brave having this without an audience, it added to the slight cringyness of it all.

I also like that the character setting changes, this is his first TV chat show since Knowing Me Knowing You 25 years ago. Everything else has been a bit different which is unusual for a comedy character.
