Quotes:

Alan Partridge: Thank you for being this morning's farmer, Robert Moon. Have you had your breakfast this morning, Robert?
Robert Moon: Well, the way things is going, I dunno...
Alan Partridge: Can you just answer "yes", for the purposes of a joke?
Robert Moon: ...Yes.
Alan Partridge: Well, then, you must be a *full* moon!
[pause]
Alan Partridge: Hello?
Robert Moon: I'm still here.
Alan Partridge: I was... I was just making a pun on your name.
Robert Moon: Oh. Oh, right.

ranks right up there with "the Office", and "Faulty Towers"

Steve Coogan is back once again as Alan Partridge. Good ol' Alan isn't doing a talk show anymore. Having fallen in hard times, he's now an early morning radio DJ, living in a hotel after his wife kicked him out and still hoping and dreaming for a second series of his talk show. From Partridge's car being vandalized with naughty language, sacking employees, and presenting a corporate video, to dealing with hotel renovations, meeting an...overzealous fan, attending a funeral, and everything in between, this 6 episode series is a sheer joy to behold and is even better than the already wildly funny "Knowing Me, Knowing You". Suffice it to say this is simply brilliant. Note to BBC America: Bring this out on Region 1 DVD NOW!!!
