Off to see it tonight. I'm looking forward to it but wondering whether my expectations are too high. Everything Partridge related seems to just get better and better as Coogan and Alan get older. The mid morning matters series was just perfect. The film can't come close to that can it?

I can't understand people going to the cinema in the summer. OK, maybe if it's 35°C outside 90 minutes in a dark, air-con'd room would be nice, but apart from that 😐

Cheers,
Jamie

Well, I haven't got anything else planned for this Wednesday evening from 8.30 onwards so other than standing outside appreciating the fact it's the summer I thought I'd go and see a film.

I'm just struggling with the fact that Alan looks younger than he did 15 yrs ago. Really hope it will be good, but fear it won't...

Not to anyone else, obviously. But to me... it's the frickin law mate!

Yeah, he is basically Steve Coogan with a side parting in the film. I guess they wanted him to appeal more to the US market in terms of visual appearance.

So you're a supporter of the law, then? I bet you're not too keen on those that break it, and just generally turn up on a Saturday afternoon and wave at it from the touchline?

Saw the trailer last night before The Worlds End ( yes,it was great thanks),not sure if I will bother,it just looked a bit too tired and stiff,like an old partridge at the [s]end[/s] side of the road. 🙂

Well, surprisingly almost lived up to expectation. Stayed very honest to the character and the long back story of Partridge. Surprising really as I can't see it appealing to anyone other than partridge fans.

I just watched both series again because our aerial broke.

I love it, I don't want to see the film as I'm worries it will ruin how great those two series are.

I didn't watch the YouTube stuff either.
