I'd always been aware of Partridge, but never watched it. Now it's easy to see where Gervais gets his inspiration from. I'm not saying Gervais isn't creative, he adds his own spin to things, but he seems hugely influenced by Coogan.
your looking suprisingly cheery considering its the first anniversary of your mothers death. hilarious.
i dunno about these "gervais copying coogan" accusations, just sounds like internet shit-talking. infulence, maybe. but just because they speak on the same topic (on completely different platforms) dosen't mean anything. just enjoy comedy, and stop trying to turn everything into a shit-talking fest.
I love the way he moves his hands to indicate he's joking on the "The underground base of an evil genuis....*HAND GESTURE* ....and THEN Dr. No" Partridge rules, but I do reckon him and Lynn have something going on
yeah, im a big big coogan fan, I personally think Saxondale was his best, Alan is more popular of course but Tommy Saxondale, to me, is just classical, every line he says is poetic.
@joop1977 I've been thinking the same thing! he even used the 'camp david' character on his old XFM radio show from the first series of partridge as well
@jimminycricketer8345 also in EXTRAS orlando bloom taking the piss out of johnny depp about edward scissor hands "ooh look at me i've got scissors as hands",that was originally a paul calfe line!
@joop1977 - As much as I'm a fan of Ricky Gervais, Ricky Gervais' TV programmes/stand-up do have certain 'touches' of Alan Partridge. Ironically, Gervais probably reckons he's better than Steve Coogan, etc., seeing as how Gervais has all his Hollywood celebrity mates fauning all over him.
@joop1977 I reckon there are many links/inspirations between the great 90's comedy characters: Roy Mallard in People Like Us, to That Peter Kay Thing/Phoenix Nights, Coogan's Run/KMKY, and The Office. All great talents.
@thecuriouscritic I beg to differ. It's true that lots of standups have done bible or religion schticks, but Ricky's close textual analysis is uniquely done. I saw the George Carlin routine on religion recently and that was also unique. Ezzie Izzard's also.
this part is like its just coogan..he seems to have forgotten the parttidge character. but its still extremely good, classic, brilliant writing...but defo off road partridge in plaCES, especially the cemetery great writing!!

We're friends of Montague Withnail, we desperately need fuel and wood. You must know him! fat man, owns the cottage?
