The Unofficial Alan Partridge Perfomrance


I love this movie, the more I watch it the more i want to watch it again for its amazing moments of excellent film making and wonderful performances.

But what it made it more special was how Steve Coogan was really portraying alot of his Alan Partridge character.

If you watch many films with Coogan like Parole Officer you will see that this is just the way he acts but his performance as Tony Wilson really reminded me of Alan and seeing as Tony Wilson was seen as a bit of a prick (please excuse my language)then who better to portray him than a man who already portrays a character that is hated by everyone he encounters.

What a movie and every line from Coogan is priceless plus was anyone quite touched by the scene where Tony kisses Ian on the head and says "Bye Son"?
