	I'm Alan Partridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Even in these fantasies, Alan retains his unbearably boring and socially inept persona; he dances in a rubber thong but this is offset by wearing his jumper, shirt and tie in addition to his "erotic" apparel, and in his fantasies, Alan launches into his trademark dull and inane conversations.
		Susan displays a general dislike of Alan, becoming increasingly bored of his feeble attempts at conversation as the series progresses, and at one stage being terrified by Alan's poorly-planned practical joke in which he dresses as a zombie and creeps up on her at reception.
		Alan returns from hospital with a neck brace and broken fingers, and is forced to humiliate himself by phoning reception and asking them to reconnect his television pornography.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Review - Knowing Me Knowing You
		Alan Partridge thinks his chat show should be the most popular in England.
		Partridge is, quite simply, the worst chat host ever, a monstrous amalgam of all that is cheesy, behind-the-times, insipid, and egoistic about the genre.
		Though the fictional Alan Partridge drew a short straw in life, his character was wildly popular in Britain and still is. Partridge ranked just before Ali G. at No. 7 in the Top 10 of English Channel 4's One Hundred Greatest TV Characters, and Alan Partridge: The Movie is slated for release in 2007.

	British Sitcom Guide - Alan Partridge
		Partridge frequently demonstrated his insecurities and total lack of knowledge about his guests' lives during each "broadcast".
		The Alan Partridge character, played so well by Coogan, is one of the most embarrassing but at the same time funny sitcom characters created.
		The plans for an Alan Partridge film were quietly dropped in the wake of the London Bombings though as the plot would have seen Alan getting entangled with al-Qa'ida in a terrorist plot.

	MovieFreak.com - "Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge" DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Alan’s interviews are fun to watch because something always goes wrong, whether it’s his questions that are too plain or lend themselves to outrageous answers from his guests.
		When the interviews sidestep from Alan’s expectations, he begins to loathe the situation, and tries to make up for it by hiding his displeasure with a half smile or moving on quickly to another topic.
		The rest of Alan’s homey Christmas spectacular degenerates into a desperate appeal for a second series, especially after an attempt to break a world record ends in shambles and an expensive-looking dance number is interrupted.

		However, such feelings are always negated in the end, because Alan is an unspeakably vile little man, and the show never misses a chance to demonstrate that.

		Alan is desperate to return to TV so he can afford a flash new house but he fails to impress BBC chief commissioner Tony Hayers (David Schneider) with programme ideas such as Lady Parts, Alan Attack, Knowing ME, Knowing You and Monkey Tennis.

		Though people had the uncanny knack of dying in front of him, Alan's 182 days at the Linton Travel Tavern probably tipped him over the edge, and his chocolate addiction was the obvious substitute for the missing affection in his life.
		It wasn't to be, but watching his book being pulped, Alan had probably come to the conclusion that he wasn't as great as he thought he was, and that he really needed to get back to sports presenting.

		The way Alan interacts with the guests is magical, he has a lot in common with David Brent from The Office in that, in 99% of situations, you can think of the most embarrasingly cringeworthy or offensive thing Alan could possibly say and you can count on him coming out with it.
		Unlike 'allan partridge' in his other 2 series, this is somewhat disappointing; but if you are an allan partridge fan, you will enjoy it; but it's just not as funny as his other material he's produced in the past, and I felt this somewhat let the DVD down.
		Classic moments included Alan's habit of product placement, his crazed look whilst being threatened by boxer-manager Terry Norton, his rift with Glenn Ponder, his terrible (and dear god, I mean terrible) duet with Gina Langland, the infamous horse-crapping incident and of course, the fatal moment where he shot his last guest of the series.

	DVD Times - I'm Alan Partridge
		I'm Alan Partridge is not hilarious because of its situations, it's hilarious because of the ongoing relationships that Alan has with his fellow characters.
		Alan is hired to present a promotional video for a waterboat, although danger may lurk in the air after Alan insulted the farming profession on his radio show with some badly thought-out puns.
		Partridge also has to contend with judging a vegetable contest at a village festival, a task Alan devotes his usual ignorance to.

		Alan also revealed his O-level and A-level results in one of his radio shows (the certificates of which he admitted to having framed in his office).
		During his tenure on the chat show, Alan hit a child genius, unknowingly took cocaine, lost his wife's car in a bet, was openly homophobic, forced the resignation of a junior government minister and, in the series finale, his guest Lord Morgan of Glossop died from an apparent heart attack.
		Alan's next appearance was in a 1999 half-hour special filmed for Comic Relief in which Alan started to ‘lose the plot’, forshadowing his mental breakdown in the second series of I'm Alan Partridge.

		His radio show on Radio Norwich, "Up with a Partridge", is on during the graveyard shift and Alan's life is pretty much at an all-time low.

	Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon etc... - Palimpsest
		However his greatest moment came when we got the behind-the-scenes look at his life in I'm Alan Partridge, which at first I thought was a terrible mistake before humbly realising that it was the best sitcom in years and years.
		So you already know that "I'm Alan Partridge" is far superior to established classics like "Fawlty Towers" and "Blackadder," in that it shares with those programmes an absolutely fastidious attention to detail and density of jokes, but mixes in far more pathos and depth than they ever did.
		All but the 'lonely' episode in series one (where Alan sits bored in his motel room) are re-watchable classics, to be viewed again and again and again, but that's a trick they only manage the once in series two.
