The superfan, who started watching Alan Partridge in his teens and would "endlessly quote it" with friends, said the festival would feature... a disco with pre-1988 music only

Pre-1988? Am I missing something there?

[Tony Yeboah]

Must not, repeat not, turn into an all night rave.

[ArtParrott]

Pre-1988? Am I missing something there?

Think it's in I, Partridge where AP says either music peaked then or all music after 1988 is rubbish.

[Gulftastic]

Think it's in I, Partridge where AP says either music peaked then or all music after 1988 is rubbish.

And he's only 2 years  late.

Ah, thanks.

Hope to see fair representation of Series 2 of IAP

[Utter Shit]

I love Partridge as much as the next person but I can 100% guarantee that would be the most irritating thing in the world ever. Basically the bit in Father Ted where Dougal says Ted "definitely won't regret" saying Meldrew's catchphrase to him, but stretched over a day.

Jesus. I've been to a Partridge-based pub quiz and that was bad enough, imagine spending 8 hours with the smirking gesticulating cunce

Partridge dining experience next!

[Cuellar]

Partridge dining experience next!

This has legs. Big plate, Full British Isles Breakfasts, cup of beans obviously, mousse, ladyboys.

[madhair60]

1000 degree apple turnover (from the superior second series of IAP)

[Cuellar]

Yes. Ginsters, fish cakes, Directors bitter, tables made out of toilet doors, fun packs, guest appearance from Bono it writes itself

[Glebe]

Also he can get the dinners to smell his cheese!

[Armin Meiwes]

Could finish it off with a sex festival!

[Misspent Boners]

Maybe an airbass competition or some shit

[Autopsy Turvey]

This isn't a festival so much as a convention, surely. I assumed there would be bands playing. Gary Numan, Steeleye Span, Roachford and Bjorn Again shouldn't be too expensive, and maybe a group of superfan musicians can open the show as Dark Phase, doing a 15-minute extended wig-out version of Sophisticated Saxophone Woman.

[Jim Bob]

Maybe an airbass competition or some shit

Ahem.

The superfan, who started watching Alan Partridge in his teens and would "endlessly quote it" with friends, said the festival would feature a personal appearance by a mystery guest, an air guitar competition, a disco with pre-1988 music only, plus "monkey tennis" and "inner city sumo" games.

[petril]

entirely attended by people who think that quoting the line "I'm just a fan Alan" grants immunity.

half a step above the sovereign citizens

[Dewt]

That's hilarious, Alan doesn't play air guitar.

And wash it down with a mouthful of Coleman's Mustard.

[vainsharpdad]

That's hilarious, Alan doesn't play air guitar.

That DVD menu is glorious technological insanity.

That's air fretless bass.

[Dewt]

Exactly.

[Pauline Walnuts]

I suppose it is a fretless bass guitar.

I don't know what to think anymore.

Coogan turns up at wrong venue:
