Get ready for the new Alan Partridge show with 15 of his best bits

It’s finally here – the new Alan Partridge series, ‘This Time with Alan Partridge’, and we couldn’t be more ready to see whether Steve Coogan’s excruciatingly awkward character has stood the test of time, except perhaps if we took a few minutes to rewatch some of our favourite clips. It’s a tough act to narrow them down, but we think these 15 are among the most iconic.

1. Who is the best Lord? Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Dance or Lord of the Flies?

2. The pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre.

3. Alan pitches Monkey Tennis

4. Dan! Dan! Dan!

5. I’ve pierced my foot on a spike.

6. Reviewer calls the show “moribund”.

7. Ooh sex! Alan’s terrible banter.
