I'd start with The Day Today personally. He's not in it much but it's a great introduction. Then Knowing Me Knowing You (which is very hit and miss) , then I'm Alan Partridge.

I'm sure there is a compilation of his moments in TDTD on YouTube, but if you don't mind you could watch the whole thing because it is still pretty much loving excellent.

The radio version of KMKY is good too, it's a little more tightly focused although some of the interviews are repeated for the TV version. Could be a good option if you have a long drive or commute.

Yeah, I'd do this. There isn't really much you'll miss out on plot-wise if you go straight to I'm Alan Partridge and it's way better than KMKY which is very good, but I'm Alan Partridge is one of the best UK comedy shows ever, imo. Assuming you will watch KMKY at some stage, don't forget the Christmas special, Knowing Me Knowing Yule, which is great. The Day Today is great and I'd recommend it to anyone on it's own merits, but Partridge is only in it for a few minutes every episode, if memory serves.

Jordan on Great British Bake Off is giving off goon vibes. He says he's influenced by Japanese culture and he's baking a Kawaii Swiss Roll.

Mel and Sue are because I love them and they are stupid and cheerful and adorable. Jordan looks like he probably watches that My Little Pony cartoon and draws fanart of them in his spare time. And yet he's still not annoying me as much as the Belfast hipster with the beard that's eating his face. My current favourites are Cake Guillotine Lady and Crazy Scottish Norman.

Norman all the way, when he was talking about clogs and flares he reminded me of the Meat Safe Murderer.

Gorn Myson posted:Just start with any Partridge related stuff really. Its all excellent. True. Once you've finished watching it all (including Mid Morning Matters), be sure to check out the book, it fills in lots of gaps around the character. If you're into that sort of thing, the audiobook is excellent, as it's read by Partridge, which is how the book sounded in my head while I was reading it.

Whenever he's talking they edit in noddy shots of the rest of the contestants looking away from their work, worried and mildly irritated, presumably to tip off any deaf viewers how annoying his voice is. Anyone want to pick the final 3? Builder, woman in grey and... the signal ops guy?

Uh, how can someone NOT like Mel and Sue on Bake Off, they are so adorable! Anyway, not sure where the hate for Jordan comes from. His bakes weren't great, but so far I've never felt the need to wish death upon someone for that.

Should also mention, just incase anyone is keeping a tally, that I do not find them attractive Also I hate when people rave about that show with Giles Coren (dont find him attractive either) and Sue Perkins, that was awful too and I'd go as far as to say the only way to make it worse would be to add Fearne Cotton

I laughed when Paul Hollywood asked that fella why he was a builder when he made such lovely cakes. Put the trowel down mate, we need an array of mille feuille, not another stinking hospital.

I'm not sure many people here will be interested but Jim McDonald is back in Corrie, so he is. Hollyoaks can keep their modern-day mascara wearing genderqueers. For me, the true face of Belfast is Jim McDonald's big, red, constipated, jeans-and-jeans-shirt scowl

He knows the word kawaii. Knows it like the back of his hand I bet
