i bought the season 1 dvd before i went on the road. i can't actually watch it anymore. i think i have become too empathic to watch.

Anyone know exactly what this is, e.g. 10 minute 'shorts' or an actual series? This Sun article says "Highlights of his gut-bustingly funny musings and outrageous anecdotes are being packaged together for a brand new web series on fostersfunny.co.uk" - highlights? Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this esp since Fosters aren't having anything to do with it (unlike Will Arnett/Orbit (or Wrigleys?) "content")

series 1 still miles better than series 2 i'd say, even iannucci doesn't rate it much, but this is still the best Partridge moment ever i think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9ytDCZS9oM
just ahead i'd say of the appaling sex scene in the dark in series 1.
― piscesx, Monday, 1 November 2010 00:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Series 2 def had to grow on me a lot but to me now they're both as great as each other. Some flashes of utter genius in there, Sonia and space/judge/Bono/alien thing had me cracking up, the whole bit where he goes to Bono's house (my friend got married there; she didn't understand why it was Bono's house), Michael and the Bond movie marathon... lovely stuff.

love that fireplace scene
― F-Unit (Ste), Monday, 1 November 2010 00:32 (thirteen years ago) link
My favourite bit from season 2 is in that bond episode when he douses the caravan in Sunny Delight, pretends to light a match then runs away. I get giggles just thinking about it. I think Sunny Delight must be the funniest drink.

thought that helicopter bit was mugging for the recorded audience applause personally. one of the stand out bad moments in s2.

Two books, which are also available in (necessary) audio book format.to be honest I have loved all of this stuff.
