Alan Partridge is a guy who is initially intrigued by things, but then instantly becomes overwhelmed by the intensity of the facts

1:08 The fact they bleeped the word country is brilliant.
'do they ever let you guys go to a space just to relax? maybe that should be part of the protocol-swearing, swearwords.' The nuance of the passive aggressive comment and then the clumsy transition back to the topic of the segment is brilliant.
One of the best partridge sketches I’ve seen from recent times.

I love how they do a section on the history of swear words for an early evening family fluff show, with Alan getting ever more flustered.
Loved the whole series. Coogan's a genius.

I love that about partridge, so often even the one-off characters are absolutely superb
Alan's stub at guessing the meaning of 'to haffle', and his expression on learning the correct answer
His face when she says chicken and egg
Didn't see that Albanian comment coming. Class
There is not one ounce of fat on that sketch. Absolute perfection.
This is why This Time is brilliant, so many gems like this.
His best work yet and the actress is utterly believable
I love how Alan probably considers himself to be a 'with it' cool dude but can't handle swear words lol
the sensor bleep on the word country is genius
Thank you very much Dr Hilary Mantel
This is actually genius. I wish I could write like this. It’s SO hard to write comedy as good as this.
from Manchester? No, from all across the C----try. I loved that little gag beeping out the 'count' from country, so subtle
this is brilliant; one of the best scenes from the whole of the This Time series
I do NOT get bored of this.

"No. From across the whole c**ntry" 🤣
His guess when he attempts to explain and physicall enact what "huffling" is! Hilarious!
Bleeping the start of the word country 😂😂😂
Well done Baby Cow. I literally cannot stop watching these
OMG, his reaction to beard splitter and ass opener!😂
omg the ending killed me, just fantastic
When they beeped out the first half of the word 'country' (at 1:08) 😂
Brilliant!
Taking a mouthful of tea whilst the beard splitter sentence was presented has resulted in me heading off to buy a new keyboard :) :)
The narcissism when he can’t handle the documents and other presenters can.
Her bangs are banging!!!!
Alan meets his match!
Lovely stuff!
F.beep.ing brilliant!
Her bangs look like the shade on your cars front windshield!
Gropecunt Lane is a street found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas..... obviously not so offensive then, but gradually elevated itself to such over the years.

Class!! Half expected Tucker to profanely trundle up and hurl a massive barrage of Malcolmese at 'Robyn' while asking 'is that in your books?' while Jamie kills a fax machine in the background to the sounds of opera as he roars 'its just fu3king vowels!!!'.
"Runtalion" has been criminally slept on IMHO. We gotta bring that one back.
Alan still has the mind of Child.
