Added: 2026-05-04

[00:00:00]Hey you guys, welcome back to the channel. I'm Specky Steve accompanied by Queen Taylor. And today we're going to be reacting to some more Allan Partridge. That is in fact the final episode of this series.

[00:00:15]>> That happened really quick.

[00:00:17]>> Yes.

[00:00:18]>> Too quick.

[00:00:19]>> I'm trying to do my radio voice.

[00:00:22]>> Oh, >> is it working?

[00:00:23]>> I didn't know what was happening. Oh, >> so you guys, we are on the series finale of I am Allan Partridge. Um, >> series one.

[00:00:36]>> Series 1, episode 6, Towering Allen.

[00:00:42]>> Towering Allen.

[00:00:43]>> Towering Allen. I think that's a fitting name for an episode is if it's going to be the series finale, it's fitting for for Allen.

[00:00:51]>> Okay. Yeah, because he likes to tower over people with his superiority.

[00:00:55]>> That's fair. That's fair.

[00:00:56]>> His uh >> I don't know his banter. It's honestly his character in this is brilliant.

[00:01:04]Okay. From one Steve to another Steve, it's brilliant.

[00:01:07]>> It's really funny because we've had a lot of people that are like, "Oh, I didn't think that, you know, Alan Partridge would translate well to Americans." But they a lot of people didn't think we would like it. But we've loved it from the second it started.

[00:01:19]>> It was great.

[00:01:20]>> It's fantastic.

[00:01:22]So you guys, thank you so much for your recommendations. Um, we will definitely be doing series two when of I am Allen Partridge. So when we're done with this, we'll start immediately and start going uh next week onto the new series. So thank you guys. Appreciate the recommendations for this. It's been swell. Let's hop on over the video and let's get started. That was Japan. The effeminate futurists from the 80s when life can be cruel in Tokyo. It's certainly congested. I'd love to go. In the meantime, it's 7:00. Oh, governor.

[00:02:00]He's got me bent to rights. It's Chief Constable Dave Clifton of Scotland Yard's very own plain clothes pop force.

[00:02:08]>> Yes. Good morning.

[00:02:10]>> Let me finish.

[00:02:12]Lulu. Yeah, I think you're splitting hairs a little bit there, Alan.

[00:02:16]>> Sorry. Splitting.

[00:02:17]>> Yes, splitting. You know, >> so it's so it's diff difficult to understand you when you say splitting because I know in real life you say splitting. It's interesting where you substitute a D for a T when you're broadcasting. If you ask me, it's the behavior of a dosser.

[00:02:29]>> A dosser.

[00:02:30]>> Yes. A dosser and a dad.

[00:02:32]>> Alan Partridge there. There are others, aren't there? There's there's Did Head and there's Dalandus shid. If it to be believed, you're back on the bottle.

[00:02:43]This is Einstein agogo.

[00:02:45]>> G. That's git.

[00:02:49]>> I could not beat that person.

[00:02:52]>> I don't know why that guy is still working.

[00:02:54]>> It's more in Miami.

[00:02:59]>> Home sweet home.

[00:03:01]>> Oh, I know this guy.

[00:03:03]>> These corridors.

[00:03:04]>> Yeah, they are.

[00:03:10]>> Just let myself in. to the toilet.

[00:03:12]>> We'll close the >> We'll close the door. Who is that guy?

[00:03:16]I've recognized his face. He's in like a ton of TV shows.

[00:03:21]>> No.

[00:03:22]>> Really?

[00:03:23]>> I think I know. Are you thinking of Billy Bob Thornton? Cuz that's who he looks like, but that's not who it is.

[00:03:29]>> No. No. I'm thinking of somebody else.

[00:03:33]It's not Billy Bob Thor. I know what Billy Bob Thornton looks like you guys.

[00:03:36]>> That's who I think he looks like. And that's what I thought you were thinking.

[00:03:39]>> There's another dude. Damn it.

[00:03:43]>> Home sweet home.

[00:03:44]>> Yeah, >> these corridors.

[00:03:47]>> Yeah, they are.

[00:03:50]>> There's one way.

[00:03:51]>> It's not.

[00:03:54]>> Just let myself in. Needed the toilet.

[00:03:56]>> Well, close the door.

[00:03:58]>> So, um, everything all right?

[00:04:01]>> Oh, well, just a little bit of tummy.

[00:04:03]>> No, I mean generally specifically the toilet.

[00:04:06]>> Oh, yes. Everything's fine.

[00:04:07]>> Good. Right. So, what have you been doing?

[00:04:10]>> Oh, well, I've been getting your clothes ready for the country show.

[00:04:14]>> I'm doing a bit of tidying.

[00:04:15]>> Tidying?

[00:04:17]>> Oh, God.

[00:04:18]>> What? What do you mean tidying?

[00:04:20]>> Just check the drawers.

[00:04:21]>> I didn't go near your drawer.

[00:04:24]>> Good.

[00:04:24]>> Again, wearing blast.

[00:04:28]>> By the way, they'd like you to judge the vegetable competition.

[00:04:32]>> Very manual.

[00:04:33]>> Works.

[00:04:34]>> All I need now is a is a shotgun. Both barrels. Bang. you'd hit the wall. It's >> so awkward.

[00:04:40]>> Good thing about this is it's uh has the appearance of a bulletproof vest. So, uh any fanatics would be put off altogether or uh they'd simply go for a headsh shot, which case I won't even know it's happened.

[00:04:54]>> I've told you a thousand times no one wants to kill you. It defies sense. Why?

[00:04:59]>> Because I'm a soft target. Luckily, the prime minister is surrounded by bouncers. Yeah, everyone knows I will be in swap at 3 p.m. outside the vegetable tent.

[00:05:10]>> Your mind's flying.

[00:05:12]>> Of course my mind's flying, Lynn. I've been living in a hotel for 26 weeks.

[00:05:17]182 days in a travel tavern.

[00:05:20]>> See this? Look facts.

[00:05:23]>> They put these in my room every day.

[00:05:24]They know I'm a man.

[00:05:28]>> I keep Loose Worther's originals in them. Look at this. SING THIS.

[00:05:34]THAT IS 182 bottles of body lotion.

[00:05:39]I was going to sell them at a car boot sale. I can't remember what it's like to dial a number from a telephone without hitting nine first. Hello. It's a reception. Sorry, I must have hit a zero.

[00:05:52]Then I was at a friend's house the other night. I was trying to make a phone call. I thought there was something wrong with the phone. I've been hitting nine. Len, I felt like a ruddy idiot. I just left. I couldn't stay there after that.

[00:06:04]>> Would you like >> I feel as though Yes. He's been trapped in the I don't even know if it's trapped. It's like self-imposed since his divorce. Like >> Yeah.

[00:06:13]>> What is he he Cuz they went house shopping once and I never knew what came about at home. I thought he bought it.

[00:06:20]Like I don't >> He pulled out because he didn't get the next >> Oh, that's right. He didn't get the BBC series.

[00:06:27]>> Yeah. So he couldn't afford it anymore.

[00:06:30]But I feel like hotels, I mean, you probably get discounted rates to stay there more long term, but it's still can't be any cheaper than just renting a place somewhere.

[00:06:43]>> I have 182 bottles of shampoo.

[00:06:46]>> So funny.

[00:06:49]>> Yeah, he's going stir crazy. I would >> I just left. I couldn't stay there after that.

[00:06:55]>> Would you like a whole We have to learn that.

[00:07:03]>> Stay there after that.

[00:07:06]>> Would you like a whole place?

[00:07:10]>> Not in that drawer.

[00:07:14]>> Come in.

[00:07:16]>> Hello, Mr. Partridge. Everything all right with the room?

[00:07:18]>> Yes. Marvelous.

[00:07:20]>> This box arrived for you.

[00:07:22]>> Oh, super. I've been trying to get my hands on this box off Carol for months.

[00:07:26]>> Is that you? No, that's my uh it's my daughter Denise. A bit of a rebel.

[00:07:32]>> Why?

[00:07:34]>> What's so funny?

[00:07:37]>> Nothing. It's just that she really really looks like you.

[00:07:40]>> Yeah. Well, it's not me. No. Have I got a pierced naval?

[00:07:42]>> I don't know.

[00:07:43]>> Well, I haven't.

[00:07:45]>> You don't know.

[00:07:46]>> Oh, great. Nice.

[00:07:48]>> That is so funny. I thought she was laughing because she was like, I can't believe anyone would have and give you a child type. Oh, you thought that's why she was laughing.

[00:07:58]>> That's harsh. She's over here like making fun of the way her daughter looks exactly like him.

[00:08:03]>> I mean, poor fortunate unfortunate girl.

[00:08:06]>> So, anyways, as she was trying to pause it while Allan was kicking the drawer, the special drawer, and we did get some Holix, didn't we? It's like the the little bags of >> Horix. Yeah.

[00:08:19]>> Horix.

[00:08:20]>> Horix.

[00:08:21]>> Horix.

[00:08:23]Okay. Okay. Hey, I see what you're doing here.

[00:08:27]Go ahead and [ __ ] lick your ass out of here.

[00:08:30]>> Done with you.

[00:08:33]>> I'll whorlick you.

[00:08:35]>> Reese's book of humorous graffiti. This is the Oh, great. Nigel Reese's Book of Humorous Graffiti. This is the Quran for the after dinner speaker. Really? I mean, quick tip for you. So, if you you're ever doing an after dinner speech, you say, "My lords, ladies and gentlemen, sorry I'm late. I just popped to the toilet." And while I was in there, I saw some graffiti and it said, "I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure straight away. You've got them jaffers."

[00:09:03]It's it's witty. It's not like a lot of the lot of the graffiti you see these days in toilets. Just crude like, you know, touch my this, you know, suck my such and such, something all over my whatever.

[00:09:16]>> My penis is so and so.

[00:09:18]>> Yeah.

[00:09:22]There we go then.

[00:09:23]>> Tony hair.

[00:09:25]>> I tell you something, Sophie. You've not witnessed pure evil until you've looked into the eyes of a man who's just canled your second series.

[00:09:32]>> I think it's quite nice.

[00:09:34]>> The devil can take many forms.

[00:09:36]>> All right, then.

[00:09:39]Member of a Baptist church. I think they're a bit >> Sorry about saying penis earlier.

[00:09:45]>> Don't worry about that. Trapped a finger in a car door once. She swore like a docker.

[00:09:50]I bought you some more stationary. I'll just uh I'll put it in the drawer.

[00:09:57]>> I'd rather you right for body lotion.

[00:10:04]>> Yeah, sure. I've got 182 bottles.

[00:10:09]>> Bloody hell.

[00:10:15]>> I can't believe she had the balls to still open that up. She needed to. As soon as he did that, he was like, "I've got to get in there."

[00:10:22]>> She probably didn't care at all until he had that reaction. Then she was like, she could have like she she can get into his room. She could have gone in anytime he was out, but she was just like, "Nah, I don't care. I'm going for it."

[00:10:33]>> Well, it probably wasn't obvious what was in there. So, now she knows. Now she's going to go downstairs and talk to everyone about it.

[00:10:43]>> 182 bottles.

[00:10:47]Bloody hell.

[00:10:51]>> For an onion.

[00:10:52]>> Actually, this would make a very good murder weapon because you could beat someone to death, then eat the evidence.

[00:10:58]Christ's uh then eat the evidence.

[00:11:08]That's so ridicul. He says what we all think.

[00:11:11]>> That's what I think. He says what we all think and we're too afraid to say out loud. Allan just goes for it. Well, I've actually um did one of these competitions with you for a singing contest and I was the exact same way as Allen. So, I feel like he's being fair.

[00:11:27]>> It was a karaoke contest.

[00:11:30]>> I was brutal.

[00:11:31]>> Yeah, he was the Simon Cow of the >> the competition to small children. If that surprises you at all.

[00:11:41]Sucks to suck. I guess be better >> because you could beat someone to death then eat the evidence.

[00:11:49]Christiey's uh probably already thought of that one.

[00:11:52]>> The onion mystery. The onion murders.

[00:11:55]Good idea for a program.

[00:11:58]Not that the BBC had commissioned it.

[00:12:01]That wouldn't know. Good onion idea if I hit them over the head with it and then at the evidence.

[00:12:13]Fire, fire. The fair is on fire.

[00:12:17]Um, I'm joking. Of course, it's not, but that's the kind of thing you can see from uh the what are they called? That the local fire brigade. I don't know the district in tent four. My own tip is never throw water on a fat fire. It'll take your face off.

[00:12:38]country show go, Alan.

[00:12:40]>> Um, I walked off.

[00:12:43]>> Who's upset you this time?

[00:12:46]>> Just people.

[00:12:48]>> I just hate the general public.

[00:12:53]>> Excuse me, Alan. There's a phone call for you.

[00:12:55]>> Who is it?

[00:12:56]>> It's Sue Cook.

[00:12:57]>> What does she want?

[00:12:58]>> Oh, >> hello, Sue. It's Alan.

[00:13:03]Yeah, Sue, take the [ __ ] out of your mouth. I can't tell what you're saying.

[00:13:14]>> Yes.

[00:13:16]>> He uh fell off the roof of his house trying to remove the aerial. Broke his neck. So So who's replaced him as head of programs?

[00:13:23]Chris Feather.

[00:13:25]That's an interesting choice.

[00:13:28]Right. I mean, he's he's definitely dead.

[00:13:31]>> He's definitely dead.

[00:13:32]>> Right. Presuming there's going to be some sort of funeral. They're cremating him. Good. Good.

[00:14:40]>> Present with him last episode and then pulled out last minute.

[00:16:02]>> They're notable by their absence. The nerve.

[00:16:07]>> You close.

[00:16:11]>> He was my husband.

[00:16:12]>> Yes. Yes, of course.

[00:16:15]What was he doing on the bloody roof?

[00:16:17]>> He was getting the aerial done because we were moving.

[00:16:19]>> Yeah, I know. I was being rhetorical.

[00:16:24]Did Did he actually bring the aerial down with him?

[00:16:26]>> Yes, he did.

[00:16:28]>> Comforting to know that the last thing he did was an act of kindness.

[00:16:32]>> Thank you for the travel clock.

[00:16:35]>> Littlewoods are very quick, aren't they?

[00:16:36]>> They are.

[00:16:38]>> Anyway, um, commiserations. Um, hang on in there. I'm sure you'll bounce back.

[00:17:39]>> Yep. Very good that. Yeah. Have you got a battery for an Ericson?

[00:17:44]No. I wonder if he's up there now looking down on us.

[00:18:02]>> Like a Yeah, that's what I was picturing.

[00:20:40]>> Yeah. It was weird.

[00:20:41]>> So I was like, "What?" She was definitely like really flirting up with him hard.

[00:20:45]>> Well, she just very plainly was like, "I'll be in room 1708, Alan."

[00:20:50]>> Yeah.

[00:20:50]>> It's like right now.
