"Hucknall?" That always gets me.

Before its time. Saw it on a plane then binged the whole lot when I got back home.

Absolute comedic gold. Been a fan of Coogan since I saw him do stand up on Saturday Zoo and whilst Partridge will always be my first love Saxondale was a show that really took me by surprise and just gets better with each viewing (Always love the close quarters pistol shot on the pigeon) His other stuff may not have received quite as much acclaim but I also enjoyed Tony Ferrino and Dr Terrible, both of whom I’d love to see return to TV.

Nice to see Alan Partridge has more characters other than his Steve Coogan character.

Easily one of Partridges finest works. I always found his Coogan were criminally overrated.

Steve Coogan has created some stunning characters over the years but I think Tommy is my favourite of all and the one I feel closest to. A clever mix of Pauline Calf, Clarkson and a lonely old hippie having a mid life crisis. Equally hilarious and touching. Also love Ruth in this, she’s a great foil for Tommy. Unlike say Alan, Tommy has a warm heart. The two series were genius and I keep coming back to them. So, so good in so many ways. Thank you!!

There's nothing lonely about this character. Nor is it a midlife crisis thing : he has a woman that loves him and a shed load of cool memories. Anyone who's ever been in a gigging band knows half a dozen guys like this. 🤘

Initially I didn't get Saxondale because I was expecting Alan-styled humour. I watched it again a couple of years after it first went out and I now put it up there with the best Partridge stuff. I love the subtlety and understated approach.

Golden series.

Just love the writing on this...new shoes!!!

Brilliant series

I love this programme

YOWZA! 🤣🤣 That scene (in fact, that entire episode) is absolute gold! Best of the entire 2-season series, if you ask me.

"I'm trying to cheer you up, you hairy cow!" 😂

Such a relatable character I had a girlfriend who’s dad was almost exactly like this in every way

Love the way Raymond laughs at the pepper pot story when he really shouldn't have..... priceless we've all done it, laughed when we shouldn't have, but not shoved a pepper pot up our arse,s though lol.

"New shoes...." too funny!

saxondale was just a great show,,, wish he had done a few more,,,,

Bring this back

Hucknall. Cracks me up everytime

"Hucknall ?" 😂

He should bring saxondale back so we can have a renaissance like we do with Alan.

Fantastic character and both sreies were brilliant. Better that Alan Partridge imo.

Get fucked, if they made Saxondale about some culture today Tommy would make friends with “real men who say what everyone is thinking” who then turned out to obviously be a bunch of supremacists. There is no woke culture that’s destroying things.

Too bad Coogan couldnt even be bothered to wear that wig for season 2. Just killed it for me😄

Shame they didn't do more

I first came across Coogan when a sister of a friend had a cassette of Tony Ferrino and a tape of the KMKYWAP radio show... And a vhs of the TV show... Then on RTE (I'm irish) they were showing I'm Alan Partridge and I just loved the show.j got into Chris Morris too and of course was a huge fan of Father Ted... All around then was Spaced, Brass Eye, Partridge, Fr Ted, Blue Jam, Garth Marenghi/Man to Man with Dean Learner, IT Crowd, Black Books, Royle Family/Early Doors.... Absolutely legendary era for comedy. But my step dad's tapes of Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Porridge, Fry & Laurie... Hell my nana was into Keeping up Apperances, A little bit of Fry and Laurie, Ab Fab... I hate that comedy is under siege at the moment and every little snowflake wants to screech and cancel comedy... Im not really into Little Britain but I am absolutely disgusted thst they have had episodes pulled and 'banned'... Comedy is where we go to breathe, to relax, to feel better, to unwind.... But all thsts happening now is the most homogeneous, plain, non confrontational, safe, milquetoast, boring 'comedy' gets high 'critical' scores like 99% but audience scores are '10%' and if you admit to liking the special or comedian.... Then you are a nazi racist misogynistic transphobic evil beast who deserves to be destroyed and canceled.... It's MAD... Thankfully I have come across very cool, awesome and intelligent comedy fans who know it's all for a laugh and who will keep comedy going

Welcome to Capitalism. I see you've fully bought into the grievance package. Surprised not to see the word 'woke' tbh. Corporations are simply responding to market demands. The ruling class stultifies the populace until nothing but pablum satisfies. There's still cutting edge comedy being made but you're falling for right-wing propaganda designed to make you feel oppressed. The Nazi thing. There are fascists gaining power all over. India, Brazil, Turkey, The Philippines, Russia. All ruled by fascists. The Republican party and the Tory party are proto fascists; waiting on a charismatic leader to guide them. Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson all spread nazi conspiracies, and they're hugely influential. There are nazis everywhere these days. It's not simply liberal hysyeria, prone as they are to such. You're being played by fascists who want you to see tradition as being under attack from outsiders. Corporations and billionaires are destroying the planet, but if it were left to reactionaries like you're set on becoming, all blame would be firmly placed on immigrants and leftists.

Cancel culture isn't exactly real either. The people in charge have always 'cancelled' those who anger them, and public shame has always been an engine of social cohesion. The difference is that now, with shifting demographics, the conservatives whose positions have always been safe and incontrovertible, now find themselves susceptible to the same tactics they used on the dixie chicks, for having the gall to speak against Bush's illegal warmongering and the media's manufacturing of public consent. That's cancel culture, i suppose

@@DuderinoDeux one of the best shows ever. Absolutely crossed all cultural boundaries and I love that and IASIP equally for American sitcoms.wasn't huge into Seinfeld or Fraser but I did like them. Some American comics I love are Pryor, Chapelle, Patrice O Neal, 80s Eddie Murphy, Sam Kineson... But my favourite is the one and only Bill Hicks. I still will listen to him or read his books and be blown away. He was an incredible talent taken way too soon. Recently rewatched the whole Chapelle Show and it still seemed fresh and cutting edge, totally side splitting. No way it would be allowed to be made now! No bloody way. I love when he takes the piss out of white people! The wife swap bit was hilarious. I don't get the current trend of calling comedy 'violence' and wanting to shut down comics. I'm the first person to laugh at drunk potato Irish jokes or bald jokes or white jokes. Just a joke! If anything we all need to laugh more and not take things so seriously!

8 minute mark, its Sidekick Simon!’

Tommy has a good heart...he looks out for the young sprog...educating him along the way ...very touching...but not in a gay way.

Ooh! New shoes! 😂😂😂 The bizarre - best not to go there - sexual tension between Mags and Tommy.

I absolutely love the guy. I think I'd actually quite like to know Partridge, just to see what he's like away from cameras. But I'd definitely get on with Saxondale. Whose series is unavailable even on BBCi Player. How pish is that? I watched em all at the time, but now? Nothing. Nor Mr Terrible's House of Horrible. Can't find it anywhere. I've got a DVD boxset of all three Partridge series and Alpha Papa, but I can't find the aforementioned other stuff. "Mmmm...that's opium all right" - Nathan Blaze
