Product Description

There comes a time in every man's life when he must end his ten year hiatus from live performance and embark on his 86 date sell out tour. For Steve Coogan that time came in October 2009. Armed with nothing more than a hire car, a Little Chef loyalty card and a support staff of 35, Coogan criss-crossed the nation, reintroducing us to some of his best-loved characters.

Paul and Pauline Calf, Tommy Saxondale, Duncan Thickett and, of course, Norwich's favourite son, Alan Gordon Partridge. They're all featured on this show, giving you the chance to enjoy a tour that not only broke even but also broke bladders - it is estimated that over 80 gallons of piddle were released into theatre seats nationally.

5.0 out of 5 stars The man who is still IT! 2 July 2010
Despite the very negative reviews that this show has recieved, I honestly believe that this show is just as good as The Man who Thinks he's It. Pauline perhaps overdoes the innuendoes, but her entrance is brilliant. Tommy Saxondale transfers well, although he is understandably different from how he appears on television. Duncan Thickett has developed a darker (to say the least!) personality to the bumbling stand-up comic we used to know, but it just makes the character funnier. Paul Calf is equally as funny as he used to be, there isn't much more I can say about the character. As mentioned by practically everyone else, Alan Partridge is the star of the show. His entrance, a medley of Queen songs, is very funny, as is his "sensitive" interview with a rape victim, and then his hilarious play about the life of Sir Thomas More.
Perhaps the funniest moment, however, is the final section of the show in which he plays himself, and finishes with a rather naughty song. Overall, it is hugely entertaining, and I believe it is a brilliant show.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love it! 7 Mar 2010
This DVD seems to have got some bad reviews.
Personally I don't see why. If you were lucky enough to see this show live then I would highly recommend buying it as there's plenty of bits i'd forgotten about.
If you didn't see the show then would still recommend it as it's more classic Coogan.
The show doesn't tske itself too seriously & comes across as a light hearted almost theatrical overview of his much loved characters.
I thouroughly enjoyed it & it brought back memories of the live show :-)
Yes there is nothing technically new in this show but well worth a purchase especially when it's on special offer.
I think other reviewers have been over critical. It's fun, light hearted & will make ya laugh. Especially his little song at the end....(you know the one) Nice one Mr Coogan keep up the good work :-)

Went to see this tour at NIA. Im a big coogan fan and Partridge fan. After laughing so hard at Duncan Thickett and Steve Oram (on between acts with some real crazy stuff) plus Tommy Saxondale and Paul Calf i expected Partridge to be his usual self.

which he was. Great during all the chat and fumbling around with technology, but what was the Henry VIII bit all about, nearly sent me to sleep. Luckily the song at the end saved the day.

The show itself was a great night out, with a year to wait until the DVD my expectations were high of the DVD actually capturing the night.

On to the DVD. Where is Steve Oram ????? Wheres the brillinat last song(oh it gets a snip in the extras but wheres the intro with the copper ? ).

Instead we get some editors clinically cut personal choice of specific acts. Come on Coogan, release the full show with the Steve Oram bits.

My conclusion.... next time he's about go and see 'the show', but forget telling your mates about half of the best bits before the DVD comes out. Because an hour of the 'show' wont be on the disc.
