Alan Partridge further cements his place as a British Institution

Steve Coogan's greatest creation continues to mature like a fine wine a full 25 years after his inception. Scissored Isle- one of the most polished pieces of comedy that Coogan has produced- sees the more elderly pompous Partridge stumble his way around the UK, attempting to explain the country's socioeconomic problem through his own warped lens.The way Partridge flits between kowtowing to the upper-class estate owner and attempting to build 'street cred' with the disaffected teenagers is perfectly excruciating, especially with his wonderfully observed allusion to Ross Kemp. His meeting with the Mayor as he experiences his first ecstasy comedown is downright hilarious but is bettered by the outstanding scene where he gets locked in the warehouse and goes temporarily insane.Some of Coogan's very best work, highly recommended.

Brilliant

Some of the gags in this episodes are reminiscent of classic Partridge, unlikely the new series (just my opinion) but I love everything Stoogan does. He's brilliant and sometimes it's difficult to remember that he's playing a character! Not a lot of people are doing that or can do that in this day and age.

Like All Gibbons Era A.P, Far Superior to 90s Partridge.

I am really tired of all these fans from the 90s era Alan Partridge, saying that this short film, or shows like the amazing "This Time with Alan Partridge" are, somehow, "not as classic or as great" as the 90s era Partridge shows.That is insane to me.Ever since the 2 Gibbons brothers started writing with Coogan for this character, the character has entered another realm of comedy.No one else is operating on this level, that I have ever seen. This short film only gets better with repeated viewings. I enjoyed it so much more on my 3rd watch than on my 1st.Every line is good, but there is so much going on with this mans fragile psyche, that it can take repeated viewings to even get the joke or jokes, going on at any given time.the character is so much more complex. in terms of the writing and acting, than it ever was is the 90s.90s Alan Partridge was merely a rough blueprint for the sublime brilliance and mega cringe of the character as he is today.Basically, ever since "Mid Morning Matters", the character is the funniest thing I can find.Some of it requires us to be honest with ourselves, in terms of character flaws we may share with Alan.but don't be too hard on yourself. when you do find yourself relating to one of his petty flaws, you will probably find that Alan takes it to far greater extremes than you ever did. Or, maybe not.
