Product Description

Alan Partridge is Britain's most remarkable broadcaster. He's scaled the giddy heights of a short-lived TV chat show, and the crashing lows of twenty-six weeks in a motel equidistant between Norwich and London. He's survived the death of a guest on air, his wife leaving him for a fitness instructor, an encounter with a mentalist fan, being crushed beneath a dead cow and incomplete sex with a woman he was supposed to be sacking. He's suffered a breakdown, Toblerone addiction, weight gain and his autobiography Bouncing Back being withdrawn and pulped. But Alan continues to bounce back - resilience and Gordon are his middle names. He's still playing his eclectic mix of music and hosting phone-ins on subjects as controversial as 'Should the police learn Kung-Fu?' and 'How long could you survive on just crisps?' Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word charts Alan's incredible journey - from his first, unforgettable radio chat show, to the recent construction of a house to his own specifications. Why don't you join him? Join him...

Customer Reviews

Lovely stuff
No surprises here. If you've seen or heard the shows, they are reproduced here for your reading pleasure. Ideal for when you are away somewhere without access to the DVDs - if you know the programmes well enough it's just like watching them in your own head.

There are a few little extras, which although good are not worth buying the book for alone - you will need to enjoy the scripts themselves to be a worthwhile purchase.

Hardcore Partridge fans may notice quite a number of errors. FOr example, the DUchess of Stranraer for some reason has been documented as the Duchess of Stranraugh.

Nevertheless is has to get 5 stars for soem of the most entertaining radio and TV I've seen.

Great comedy
Excellent book, giving you the chance to re-live those classic Partridges lines and moments. Great to use when bored in the office one day.

Missing quote!
Ive had this book for years, and its great fun.

I didnt really see the point of writing a review as it does what it says - all the scripts etc
however I have recently discovered a quote that isnt in the book.

if your a big alan partridge fan like myself you will remember in the 1st kmkywap alan says "The sweedish dont have a bad life when you think about it, i mean they get up in the morning have a bowl of sweede hop in the volvo wack on a bit of abba and zip over to ikea. I mean thats my sunday, apart from the sweede. i have keloggs common sense"

or something to that effect, and that whole section has been missed out of the book.

now i dont know if thats something to do with copywrite and ikea, volvo and abba (the sweedish institutions) not wanting to be in the book?


but yeah its a shame about that bit, but its not the end of the world I suppose. It still has over 400 pages of quotes waiting to be repeated.
