Do Irish farmers really talk like that? Are there even more than like 10 Japenese people in Norfolk? Does Alan really own the rights to 'shout' but not 'say' the word 'A-Ha' 50 times a year? A very interesting negotiation took place in Gothenberg, a city which is in Sweden, surely he meant Oslo, Norway, that is where the band A-Ha formed....Alan Partridge, I salute you...
@wigster1978 very igrant just because it wont work in one way donst mean it dosnt work. for instance if you like larger and you go to shops to pick between two brandes you might just pick this one because its more familial or that you relate it to the fun you were having when watching this.
@bomberzak Why oh why is Alan Partridge's Mid Morning Matters sponsered by Fosters?

to all the bbc advocates here, i don't object to the programs they produce, i just object to the institutionalised blackmail of paying a £150 license when i don't watch their programs, if i want to pay for channels and their shows i will, i object to paying a year's worth of fees for a few channels i don't watch

Proof that advertising and sponsorship doesn't work. I love these episodes, I love the comedy Fosters sponsors on channel four. I wouldn't drink a pint of Fosters if my throat was on fire.

@wigster1978 advertising is more about convincing brand loyalty... making those that drink it, in this case, keep drinking it. it's very rare that any form of media effects a behaviour change; that's why all the quit smoking adverts fail badly.
@weefeatures it tries to hook you onto things you already use by creating positive re-enforcements such as these rather quite splendid episodes..That's why so many adverts portrait themselves not as things but as lifestyle choices. The product is always secondary to brand image.
Doesnt prove anything actually because not all adveretising appeals to everyone does it moron. Fosters sponsor comedy and i guarentee their sales will have increased after these mini shows plus the adverts.
@wigster1978 I agree, also I reckon the audience for the comedies they sponsor is not the kind of person that would buy Foster's..they should sponsor the X Factor or something..
@duke000222 if its a choice between Carling and fosters. fosters wins, if its a choice between fosters and carlsberg carlsberg wins, if there's no lager, its either guiness or westons cider.
