Considering he followed it up with the line "literally, nobody is now watching. I watched it last night", I'm swaying towards the idiot option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he’s worked his entire career in media of some sort id be amazed if he wasn’t fully aware that the bbc wouldn’t pull a 6 episode series halfway through just because ratings weren’t as expected. Especially given there’s a core of people who will watch AP regardless of how bad it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoydiesBelly Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Loved the guy dressing as a woman saying bye to Alan and his wee look back at him, harking back perfectly to his obsession with ladyboys. Been singing "Come Out Ye Black and Tans" and "You and IIIIIII, shared a common language, when you and IIIIIII, shared a sausage sandwich" all week though.

This. Back to dark Alan. Had the same feeling of Michael's beans-in-a-cup-with-a-sausage where he wouldnt let Alan into his house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The bit with the mother in law jokes, whilst massively obvious, had me in absolute stitches. "No, 6 is probably enough" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 So many, many, many subtle jokes- it's impossible to keep track of them all. Liked the 600 members line. Cantily Scad. Are you happy? As has been said- impeccible nod to the very real misogyny in the media (and everywhere truth be told). The level of discomfort AP had towards the guest as she was a feminist and how the conversation was soon dominated by a male story of 'harassment'- forced to brush a boss' hair with a small brush! Lovely stuff... When the chef finally apologised. Alan quick as a flash 'that's the word I was looking for'. It's a quite brilliant series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The episodes require repeat viewings, there's a lot going on & it's easy to miss stuff. 3rd episode I think where all the folk & Alan are lined up outside the Studios with dogs & someone from the street shouts "A-haaa" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
