This DVD claims to contain 20 minutes of 'exclusive' unseen footage, but my brother points out that the video contains 20 minutes of unseen footage. Does anyone know if they are the same? and if they are, doesn't the dvd cover claiming 'exclusive' unseen footage break advertising/trading laws?

Don't have the video, but one could argue it meant exclusive as in not on TV...

I'd put money on the footage being exactly the same as that on the VHS releases.

It is exactly the same - it's just the two 10-minute segments that appeared on either volume of the VHS cut together.
The only other extras are some brief character biographies, and a compilation of clips about of Alan's ideas during the series -- Monkey Tennis?

It was a total scream from start to finish. Well worth £11.99.

Where can you get it for £11.99?
Just to check, this is the Alan Partridge DVD the 'Chat Show' or 'sit-com'?
I am confused now, as I thought that the DVD was the 'chat show', but the quotes you have given were from the sit-com.
For £11.99 I want it.. But I have only seen it on Play for 14.99

It was £11.99 on pre-order from play247. It's I'm Alan Partridge, the second one where he is back to being a dj for radio norwich. The first one was knowing me, knowing you with alan partridge, or kmkywap for short!
Jon Weaver
11-10-2001, 12:18
Now I am GUTTED!
Whilst the 'chat show' was good.. The 'sit-com' was what I wanted.
I remeber seeing this advertised at Play for 11.99, but was sure that it was the 'chat show' so didn't bother.
******.. If only i had realised, I would have placed an order.
Thanks for the info.. I will have to drop a line to play and see if they will do me a 11.99 special (Even though its currently out of stock)

not seen it since it was on the telly and forgot its funny as ******

I'd really like the kmkywap show on dvd, haven't seen those for a few months. Thank god for uk gold!
It would have been nice to have a commentary from coogan on this dvd, i think he'd be excellent at it.

There are some £3 Blackstar.co.uk vouchers in various magazines at the moment, so it'll work out about £11-£12 all-in from there.

‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn’t it? You wake up in the morning, you’ve got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you’ve got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think “Sunday, bloody Sunday!”

Every single line is quotable. :) It's truly unique in that respect.
"A million miles from the urban decay of the Manchester Ship Canal, and the pot-smoking, whore-ridden waterways of Amsterdam. Indeed, disused cotton-mills and legalised hardcore pornography are a million miles away from your thoughts as you negotiate the Norfolk Broads. In fact, the very fact that hardcore pornography is not on the agenda...

You people....
Alan:******* [Interrupting] Dear oh dear oh dear. That is extraordinary. I mean, to look at you, you’d think you’d sing like an angel, but in actual fact you sound like a trapped boy.
*
[Susan giggles amiably.]
*
Alan:******* What a lovely smile. You know, you could have been throwing up all night for all I know, and yet your smile wouldn’t show it. I don’t know, perhaps that’s how you keep your figure.
*
[Susan’s smile shrinks.]
*
Alan:******* Ahh. You could tell me anything with that smile, and it’d seem like… Christmas.
*
Susan:**** Well, we are having some major repairs done to the lobby, so I’m afraid all this is going to be out of bounds for the weekend. We decided to go ahead, seeing as you were the only guest staying in the hotel.
*
Alan:******* [Singing] Ding dong merrily on high, in heaven the bells are ringing.
*
Susan:**** Ding dong merrily the sky –
*
Alan:******* [Holding his hands up] Don’t sing, Susan! It sounds bad. Just stick to your smile. It’s a lovely smile. You know, you could work on the Titanic. You could say, “I’m terribly sorry, we’ve run out of lifejackets.” And people wouldn’t mind. They’d say, “thank you for the information, I’ll take my chances. Can I get a coffee?” Presumably the buffet’s a bit of a free-for-all. Does the rule about women and children first –
*
Susan:**** [Interrupting] Alan, why don’t you go and talk to someone else?
*
Alan:******* See, I don’t mind that, you know. Because of the smile. You’d make a very good Judas. Betray me and then kiss me.
*
[Alan smiles intently at Susan.]
*
Susan:**** Alright, then, I mean, I just don’t want a kiss. I want to go the whole way.
Mondo cool. more next year.

"That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they ‘Paved paradise to put up a parking lot’, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song."

"Look, your mum and I, believe me, we did it everywhere. You know, in the lounge, in the hall, behind a large boulder on Hel Vellyn on my birthday. Actually, that is where you were conceived. Well, we just didn’t take precautions. No! No, we were delighted. Well, I mean, at first I was mortified, you know, but, then you were born and we grew to like you."

It might not be true mind.. It was just something which Play quoted.
I do wonder if they didn't antincipate the demand.. Maybe they thought that there is limted demand for this title and only made a limited run.
