He still smokes like 1920s gangster! ... who even the other gangsters think, smokes to excess...

"Needles to say, I took drugs."

Easily the best scene from I'm Alan Partridge series 2.

Look into my eyes... You are feeling very sleepy... If my soothing voice is soothing enough, it should be sending you listeners at home to sleep.

Are you asleep?

Well WAKE UP, because I, Alan Partridge, am not a hypnotist.

When brooding over Tony Hayers at Swaffam country fair:

"...well you have to control them - they have TB..."

It's the weird sideways delivery that sells it.

"I forget if his name was Jim or Tom. So I'll call him Jom."

Is Bill Oddie dead?

No! Bill Oddie's alive and well, Sophie. Well, he's alive.

Rewatching Spinal Tap for the first time in over a decade. It struck me that the director's intro is essentially Alan Partridge but done with a chummy American instead of a middle Englander. Lines like "I remember being knocked out by their exuberance, their raw power, and their punctuality," and even the little body language jokes like the briefly folded arms, are very easy to imagine Alan doing.

Not oft-forgotten maybe, but obscured by laughter.

At some point in that exchange he also accuses Lynn of quoting Casualty.
