For better or for worse, Partridgisms have cemented their place in our everyday vernacular.
The likes of, cos Im a bloody bloke, see the match?
Kiss my face (sorry).
Youve got a lot to answer for Morris.
The real highlight however comes during his notorious commentary work that plays over clips from World Cup past.
Choice nuggets include: The goalie has got football pie all over his shirt, TWAT!
That was liquid football and of course Shit!
Did you see that?
He must have a foot like a traction engine.
It soon becomes apparent that Alan is a little confused as to why Mickey isnt in school.
Youre 33?……you look about 14.
Or, to put it simply using the words of the man himself, theres new chat in town.
Youll love it, its got a 24 hour carvery.
The medley closes with Alan bellowing the close toThank You For The Musicright into Ginas face.
Proof, if ever it were needed, that Alan is a man of many talents.
Alans natural reaction is of course to brand Glen a turncoat and fire him on the spot.
Knowing me Alan partridge, sacking you Glen Ponder, A-Ha.
Alan does not suffer traitors gladly.
Never heard of me.
Right, its very rude to say that actually.
On this wander round the green fields and hills, Alan comes out with some absolute gems.
I dont want to get bogged down in that whole controversy again.
I am not Jesus.
I want to make that absolutely clear.
Alans personal life has undergone sever upheaval and since his exit from the BBC.
There is so much gold in this series I best press on and keep the scene-setting to a minimum.
Here are myIm Alan Partridgeseries one highlights.
His pitches for alternative TV show vehicles are the stuff of legend.
Cue Alan committing a series of faux pas and blindly talking himself out of a job.
His inherently small minded attitude comes to the fore again as he shows his woeful ignorance of Irish history.
Since we saw him last Alan has been on a bit of a rollercoaster.
Ive just lost a pint of blood.
A consummate professional, at all times is our Alan.
BONO!!!!!
There was however one moment that did truly stand out above the others.
It started off so well with the pair sharing what Alan called great banter.
However as the series wears on we slowly see Alan growing frustrated with his young protege.
When it is revealed to be a big prank, Alan does not take it well at all.
I think youre a fucking dick mate.
I will confirm you never, never, never.
NEVER work in Norfolk radio….You are nothing and I…am Alan Partridge.
Dont mess with the Partridge.
So there we have it, some of the very best Partidge TV moments from down the years.
From Alans early chat show heyday, right through to his current digital radio career.
Hopefully even the man himself would approve of this run through his glittering career.
Needless to say, he had the last laugh.
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is released in the UK on Wednesday the 7th of August.
