There’s a part in the book where Alan gives a quite in-depth and well researched explanation about FM radio and if you look up FM radio on Wikipedia he’s literally copied and pasted their explanation word for word, pure Partridge! Bring on the upcoming movie!
I remember asking [my father] once, over breakfast, what [World War II] had been like; but his eyes glazed over and he just took another bite of his boiled egg.
It was a bite that seemed to say, "Son, I don't want to talk about war . . . because I've seen soldiers decapitated - like in Saving Private Ryan.
"The only soldiers I want to talk about are the ones I dip in my boiled egg, which coincidently, has also been decapitated," his next bite seemed to add.
What I want to know is why Lynne the PA isn't mentioned by name in the book, just mentioned as "my assistant" - is there some kind of court injunction out. I'm finding this quite upsetting and frankly a massive oversight by AP and his publishers!
I love the way his story of the campaign of niggling comments unfolds like an old man falling down a flight of stairs... it just keeps giving and getting better :) the voice bit was superb... he's the best at what he does and i hope there's another BBC thing on the way... go on...give him another seri.... oh i can't be bothered to quote-mine-interpun.
As much as I love Alan (the earlier his stuff, the better the material - however, the recent Foster stuff was fantastic), Coogan doesn't do very well at imporvising, which this seems to be. If you want to see ana amazing Partridge interview, check out his appearance on Clive Anderson. Will be getting the book, but must admit I am disappointed to see that there's no reference to Adam Wells - minor gripe "we actually called it naughty Norwich"
