h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The first serious when he loses his contract with the BBC and starts living in a travel tavern. Its a little sad and geeky to quote from programmes, but I genuinely believe that this character/creation/steve coogan is some of the finest british comedy for a few years. Here are some quotes:-

Context: Alan is trying to avoid a fight in the petrol station.
Quote: The temperature inside this apple pie is over 1000 degrees. If I squeeze it, a jet of molten bramley apple will squirt out. Could go your way; could go mine. Either way, one of us is going down!!!!


Context:After coming up with some very bad ideas.
Quote: I'm going nowhere, Lynn. Quite literally - I'm on the ring road!

Context: Talking about the Irish Famine.
Quote: I mean, if it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day, you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater. If they could afford to emigrate then they could afford to eat in a modest restaurant

Context: Introducing the show.
Quote: We've got so much chat, I'm going to have to get my ice pick out and scale the north face of Chat-mandu!

Context: Alan depressed and talking to Michael at the bar.
Quote: I wish I'd be at bit more spontaneous. Sometimes I feel like going out, stealing a traffic cone, putting it on my head and saying, "Look at me, I'm a giant witch."
