Alan: Yeah, cheers. So, who’s your favourite singer, then?
Ben: Oh, anything, really, you know. Frank Sinatra, Kurt Cobain.
Alan: Who’s he?
Ben: Nirvana. Blew his head off with a gun?
Alan: Why?
Ben: He was depressed.
Alan: Why, were they not very good?
Ben: No, they were great.
Alan: Oh. Someone should’ve told him!

Hahah:

"She told her pal: "Tell me honestly...what does it make me look like that I slept with Alan Partridge?

Oh. Dear.

She would totally know who Steve Coogan is due to being Anglophile and inhaling the UK media. I've met him loads of times, mostly for work but also at friend's wedding, chilling out on the lawn with a funny cig (he lent my friends his red Ferrari for ride to the reception we were at). As I am not a coke girl I haven't seen the sex pervert in action - I believe that's the trigger - but I know he's had loads of therapy for being a sex addict.

Courtney's just gross and thinking out loud like a total starfucker as usual.

He plays an embittered failed TV talk show reduced to working on a local radio station during the graveyard shift. Humour arises from his inability to cope with a lack of fame, plus his social awkwardness.

[Cut to Steve coming out of his bathroom in a white dressing gown. He tries to wrap a rolled-up hand-towel around his shoulders but it is too small and springs back. As he rounds the corner he sees Courtney, in her underwear, lying on his bed.]

Coogan: Ah. I wouldn't go in there for a bit. Leave it about fifteen minutes. I must say, I'm tremendously excited by all this.

Love: My sister's got this bed linen.

Coogan: Oh yeah? Does she live in a travel tavern?

Love: No, she'd like to. It's nice, innit?

Coogan: No, it's a bloody nightmare.

[Steve places some change on the bedside table.]

Love: Is that for me, Steve?

Coogan: That, oh God no! No, I always put my money there in the evening. No, if it was you could add a zero to that. It's seven pounds six.

Love: Seventy quid?

Coogan: Well, no, double it.

Love: It's still cheap!

Coogan: I'm not haggling! I was trying to pay you a compliment, unless I've grossly misread the situation. It was my understanding in the lift that no money would change hands.

Love: I'm all yours.

Coogan: Er, do you mind if I turn the light out?

Love: Well can't you just dim it a bit?

Coogan: Yeah, OK. [Slowly dims the light until it is completely dark. From now on we hear only their voices.] Bit more? Bit more? How's that?

Love: Yeah, that'll do.

Coogan: Right, let battle commence! [Slightly muffled] Do you like me doing that? Shall I do it more quickly or shall I maintain the same speed?

Love: That's fine.

Coogan: Right. Shall I move on to the other one? Oh, that's lovely. That's first class. That is superb. Ooh, there you go, it's all happening! Courtney I'm afraid I have no sheathes.

Love: No what?

Coogan: Sheathes, er, prophylactics, you know, rubber johnnies. Actually, being your age and everything there's probably no need for them. I'm talking about the menopau... whoooo! Courtney you know your onions! Do you mind if I talk? It helps me keep the wolf from the door, so to speak. Courtney, what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich town centre? I'll be honest I'm dead against it. People forget that traders need access to Diiiiiixons! They do say it'll help people in wheeeeelchairs.

Love: Oh hang on, I've got an idea.

Coogan: Courtney, whoa whoa. Courtney? Courtney! What are you doing!? For God's sake, Courtney, what are you doing!?

[The lights come back on to reveal Steve standing by the bed. Chocolate mousse is smeared all over the front of his dressing gown and his face.]

― Diddyismus the Blind (of Alexandria) (Dada), Monday, 22 August 2005 07:51 (twenty years ago)

The same article says Courtney is 41. HAHAHAHAHA. She is 46

According to Julian Cope's Head on she was 16 in '81, so she'd be 40 or 41 now. However she also said she was on the inner sleeve of the Dead's Aoxomoxoa aged 9 which would make her 45 or 46. Whatever, should be old enough to know better.

Mind boggles at what they got up to if it passed the line of what Love thinks is normal. Maybe Coogan and Tom Sizemore could do a new version of Men behaving badly for Tom's website.

She had sex! And got pregnant! Surely there can be no defence when a woman in her forties behaves like that. Clearly, those of us who said that any of CLove's critics were ever in any way misogynisticat all must apologise, and say "burn the witch".

Steve Coogan is pretty hot. I can't see what's so funny with Courtney Love sleeping with him, except that she should've used protection. Celebrities probably meet each other all the time in galas, parties, etc, so them shagging each other isn't any weirder than you hitting it with someone from your local pub. Big deal.

This thread is all about sex manic Alan Partridge for me. Courtney always brings out the misogyny. I feel bad for her for being out of control on drugs. I like her music, probably more than most Nirvana.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 22 August 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

I won't go into this at length but she's really fucked around/with a lot of people I know so I *really* don't like her, whereas SC is only a little fucker when it comes to sex. I would imagine both caught one another in an act of human minesweeping at the end of a particularly lairy night for both, all equal-like.

What I found hysterical was the high-school way the article's source discussed it: 'Euw! She's way too popular to go with HIM!' Pft. As if.

If this breaks as a story in the US they'll probably just mention that he's a UK actor and leave off any mention of films. Really, I don't get this Alan Partridge stuff at all having never even heard of that character until this story.

American music/film kids will know him from his role in "24 Hour Party People" or possibly Jarmusch's "Cofee and Cigarettes."

― kingfish fucked up his login (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

I didnt really like "knowing me knowing you", esp not compared to "I'm Alan Partridge". KMKY was more cringey. IAP was really funny - the few eps I've seen anyway (I dont think it's ever showed in aus, I have some BBC2 VCR recordings)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 05:21 (twenty years ago)

xpost.

Start with KMKY and then go to season 1 and then 2. You'll watch straight through and become obsessed. His first visual appearance was on The Day Today, but it's not really necessary to watch that first. Also, look for the Anglian Lives documentary when you're done with season 2.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 05:45 (twenty years ago)

Kingfish, purely for reasons of context you have to watch Knowing Me, Knowing You first, because I'm Alan Partridge follows it and chronicles Alan's attempt to get another series commissioned by the BBC. I'm Alan Partridge is funnier if you know the other one. (I'm not saying it's not funny without it, but if you have both, may as well do 'em right).

In other words, what Spencer said.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 06:06 (twenty years ago)

Reports that US singer Courtney Love is pregnant with Steve Coogan's child have been dismissed by both stars.

In a statement, rock star Love denied reports in The News of the World that she was pregnant by the UK comedian, or that they had a relationship.

"She confirms that she and Steve are good friends and have met a few times in Los Angeles," it added.

A spokeswoman for Coogan had earlier told the BBC: "It's nonsense". She declined to comment further.

News of the World, so probably bullshit but

The friend added: "She hasn't made any decisions about whether she should keep the baby or not.

"Coutney is 41 and this might be the last time she gets to have another child."

Yeah, great fucking reason to keep it.

do make the effort for On The Hour and KMKY radio version and The Day Today before watching the Partridge telly shows, it's totally worth it

(also the Partridge section of one of his live videos comes between KMKY TV Chrimbo spesh and IAP#1)

And now you must all rank Knowing Knowing Me Knowing You (A Week In The Life Of Partridge Productions), Comic Relief Special with Bryan Ferry (the 30min BBC2 ramble, not the BBC1 Kate Bush medley) and Anglian Lives.

"Of all papers"??! The fucking Guardian...?? Hahaha!

Eh, I'm australian, I thought it was a lefty broadsheet.

Comic Relief Special with Bryan Ferry (the 30min BBC2 ramble

"I won't tell them the amount..."

It is a lefty broadsheet, and the best paper in Britain. That just isn't saying much these days.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:06 (twenty years ago)

anyone looking for alan partridge should look in the "british comedies" section of digital distractions

― zappi (joni), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

I never found him funny. Or The Office. Seriously, how the hell did I manage to miss the humour? If everyone says he's this good surely he must be. Or could it all be hype? Who knows...

COURTNEY: Pass the carrots.
FRANCES BEAN: Coogie?
LIL COOGIE: You're closer.
FRANCES BEAN: Mom, Coogie's being a lazy jerk.
LIL COOGIE: Shut up Fran, you smell stupid.
FRANCES BEAN: Yeah well at least my dad was an iconic rock star.
LIL COOGIE: Yeah well at least my dad was ... SHUT UP YOU STUPIDFACE.

Alan Partridge is much more important to me than Kurt Cobain.

Possibly me too, Spencer, though mostly I just feel bad for the guy that, you know, you have sex with one embarrassing person and then boom, hello world.

i can't believe courtney love is acting like it's more embarassing for her to have slept w/ steve coogan than for steve coogan to have slept with her

It's apparently true again. The News of the World had the story from Courtney in her own words today (supposedly quipping "You've got yourself a scoop, there!"). She also boasted her sexual antics with Brad Pitt and Janet Street Porter.

Yes. Janet Street Porter.

― JTS, Sunday, 28 August 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

Is she just getting a long list of celebs and sticking a pin in at random?
