There's not a great deal to choose from and the quality's very dodgy on some of them. I think this one might be where they got the inspiration from for what Homer does to Bart most episodes of the Simpsons!

Yes I found that when I was searching for clips during the first round tie.

Partridge leads by ten.

In off the red!

I have voted for Alan, but to return to the Steptoe and Son film, the sequence where Harold receives the postcards from Zeta is one of the most biting pieces of comic film-making I have ever seen. As the greetings diminish from 'My Dearest Harold' to just 'Harold', Albert enquires why.

Harold: 'Well you can't be all lovey dovey all the time, can you?'
Albert: 'No, not when you've been married as long as YOU have.'

Vicious.

Idea for a new programme, Millenium Barndance, to be hosted by Jet from Gladiators.

Alan Partridge is genius and gets my vote

Properly policed. It must not, I repeat not, turn into an all-night rave.

Stop getting Bond wrong!!!!!

Oh Steptoe & Son now only 10 behind.
There probably is not to many on the board who actually remember watching this programme - due to it's age.

You obviously weren't at the Shrimperzone BBQ then!

I've seen Steptoe & Son. It's been repeated regularly over the years. It's good, but it's no Partridge.

As much as Alan (your'e a mentalist)Partridge makes me laugh, Steptoe and Son was just so well written and oh so funny...You dirty ol' man

Spot on. It's vastly superior even after all these years.

Bad luck Harry, no taste some people. And I still think Steve Coogan is a jumped up little prat too full of his own self importance, very much like Ricky Gervais - in fact, are they related?

Thanks to everyone who voted for Partridge. Kiss my face...

Thanks Kay I didn't expect to win this won, and well done to seany t for advocating so well.

However I have to agree that Coogan & Gervais are jumped up pillocks who need to have their self satisfied smirks wiped from their faces.

Fairly straight forward for Partridge, who moves smoothly into the Quarter Finals
