This Time with Alan Partridge (2019)
Ignore the tasteless, butthurt apologists
It's not funny, end of story!
Thankfully I had the common sense to never get my hopes up about this show to begin with since it really wasn't hard to figure out it was never going to be a 5 star classic (no laugh track + a parody of some worthless BBC talk show + the writers of the Sky Atlantic shows = one giant MEH)
It's somehow gotten to the point where it's a legit shame to see Alan still around. Watching the version on display here and in all those other worthless specials of the last few years genuinely feels like watching a budget impersonator doing half-baked Alan Partridge impressions for an office christmas party, just like how Steve Coogan himself never feels like ACTUAL Alan whenever he does a quick cameo appearance at a comedy awards show, or even one of his own stand-up specials.
All in all, it's just sad. No Baynham, Iannucci, no laughs, no point!
