Mid Morning Matters Series 2 on the way.

[Hangthebuggers]

Does anyone know the running time of the new episodes? Are they going to be kept short like last time? Or slightly extended?

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Maybe non-interference was Coogan's price, more so than money? Either way, the Murdoch Machine got what it wanted.

I'm sure we can do better than conjecture, either way.

Does anyone know the running time of the new episodes? Are they going to be kept short like last time? Or slightly extended?

6x 30mins according to the Baby Cow website.

[Utter Shit]

Presumably that's 30 minute slots, so the episodes without adverts will be 22-24 mins each.

Fair enough, but I wonder whether Sky made an exception in this case. After all, Julia Davies hasn't recently been airing legitimate grievances about the conduct of Sky companies in a very public manner, right? Sky have the money to pay when they really want to. And Coogan clammed up quite suddenly about his privacy being violated.

It's not the same company mate. And nobodies ever suggested people working for sky have ever phone hacked anyone, as far as I know.


I believe so much talent goes to sky because they get given more money to make what they want with less interferenace

I'm so excited you cunts. All the promotional stuff for it has been great. That Noel Edmonds caller did me in.

Wow. That first episode (two episodes in one essentially) was just glorious.

Spoiler alert

The toolbox tidbit was amazing.

Wonderful!

In the talksport interview, Coogan says they're currently editing together a documentary which will go out in May;
Partridge on poverty, wealth and disaffected youth.

[Skip Bittman]

"Soon your planet will be mine."

Just watched the first episode. Fucking brilliant.

Alan's play had me in stitches.

Ingeniously funny comment to Dave Clifton;

"I used to think you were a birk, but now I realise that's only half the story." But he says it like it's a compliment.

Bloody hell, this is way better than I expected.

Sorry for the serial posting.

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

Watched the first 3 episodes thanks to that nice guy who's put them up on DailyMotion.  Thought they were absolutely brilliant. 

The play in episode 1 had me in stitches. 

Spoiler alert

"RANGE ROVER".

And Alan's jingles are glorious.

Coogan's so fucking good in these.

Seemed to be a couple of bits of genuine corpsing from Tim Key at points as well.

I've played it back so many times and can't make out what she says, what's the answer to 'i am chocolate placed on Saddam's head?'

Just finished the first new episode. I love that the character has developed in such a way that

when Simon makes a joke that Alan momentarily doesn't get, instead of feeling one-upped, he looks to the camera and takes the joke. This is a sign of a happy Alan,

and I really like it. Marvellous stuff.

[Morrison Lard]

Alan's play remarkable was delightfully crap remarkable.

That looping remarkable segment of a background remarkable Alan character remarkable had me doubled over.

[Bhazor]

I find it worryingly heart warming to see that Alan Partridge has made a friend and got a bird. I think I might be going mad.
