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

quite possibly the funniest man on tv - alan partridge/steve coogan is a comedy genius!!

a couple of my favourite partridge moments:
- when michael offers alan a 'cup of beans with a sausage for dippin'
- alan: 'my peephole pringle is modelled on an sas balaclava'

pure comedy gold!

do you know if the 2nd series is gonna be released on dvd? cos the extras on the 1st one are fantastic

AHH-HA!!

oh there are just so many partridge-isms to choose from. i like, for example;

"i just let off in a tax inspectress's face, it was mostly deliberate"

having alan partridge around makes me glad i'm british! we can look every other country in the eye and no matter how bad our football team, our health service, our awful prime minister, our middle east blood lust, our acid rain (in scandinavia), our rates of teenage pregnancy, or our over-priced and under-subsidised transport network, we can still puff out our chest and say, yes, but, we have alan partridge, mine's a pint!

twelve inch plate....HA HA!

LOL, agreed come whatever may only we the British can say we got Alan Partridge!!! LOL

I love the comedy, excellent a testament not only by the utterly superb acting of Steve Coogan but by the rest of the cast who in both series are a joy to watch, to the writers Baynham, Coogan and Iannucci and also to the studio designers who really make the two series believeable.

One of the great things about this program is that whilst being riotiously funny it is also completely believeable, most notbaly due to character development.

I think the next venture for Partridge (Should there be any!) should be in the form of a film, hopefully once Steve finishes his commitments in the USA at the moment (2008?) he could, also I am interested to know whether Alan will be popping up at Comic Relief 2007 (Who knows')

AP: Smell my cheese you mutha!
