Fun Fact: Alan Partridge

[BlodwynPig]

Was watching a MMM series 1 clip reel and it featured the Norfolk's Greatest Person bit.

AP mentions his friendship with Bernard Matthews and i thought "surely a blooper as he would have been dead for years"

I was wrong.

Bernard Matthews died not 6 days after that episode aired!

Did AP mention this in future shows...? I think not.

Depending on your point of view, Bernard Matthews is either responsible for the biggest ornithological genocide of recent times or he's the greatest farmyard to table strategist of the last one hundred years.

I remember someone on here commenting on the prescience of Alan's line "and then all the light went out of his eyes, chilling."

[BlodwynPig]

I guessed it would have been picked up on here...

The curse of Partridge

[DJ Bob Hoskins]

"I remembered a piece of advice I'd been given by Bernard Matthews - it's when they're tired, desperate and hungry that they're at their most compliant"

A kind, kind man. Unless you're a turkey and then he's the angel of death.
