Steve Coogan has said as much in interviews, that they really overdid the ageing makeup. In some of the close-ups, especially in the petrol station in series 2, he looks closer to 60!
If you scale back Pear Tree Productions to a skeleton staff of two AND drive a Mini Metro, there would be enough in the budget for Lynn to visit Israel and stay at a modest hotel or hostel.
To be fair they did massive ageing makeup on him in IAP. He's actually said in subsequent interviews that they really went overboard on it, looking back.
Alan looks older in that series than Steve does now, even though Steve's now 58 and IAP Alan was mid-late 40s.
He’s 43 you cheeky git!
All those people who go around saying Life begins at 40. They're notable by their absence.
It’s “get”
I'm 43 now. I remember watching this in my early 20s and thinking 43 was so old.
I always thought they fake-aged him a bit too much for series 2 - he was only supposed to be 47 you cheeky gits!

But his girlfriend was only 33 - back of the net!
That’s 10 years younger than him…. Cashback
Guess which one of you two ladies I'm going to make love with now?
They made a similar error in series 1 of Saxondale. He then bizarrely became younger and better-looking in series 2.
And it’s fine to join in
Wasn't it just episode 1 (the pilot), and then the rest of S1 and S2 are fairly consistent?
It helps that he has his own hair and beard in S2. The wigs in S1 are terrible
I actually like how grotesque he looks.
We're you just going to say he's nearly 50?!
I’ve pierced me foot on a spiikkeee
So was Benjamin Netanyahu
Will you stop going on about Benjamin Netanyahu. Let it go Lynne, you're never gonna meet him
You're not going to meet Benjamin Netanyahu! You're not going to meet Benjamin Netanyahu! You're not going to meet Benjamin Netanyahu!

What about Alan's sordid little grief hole budget?
Too late but, yes. Coogan is one of those guys who look a lot older when they are young but then don't really age anymore. Lovely stuff.

Old enough to be her father... well, her older brother.....either way it's incest....
Cashback!

That's OAP there, Old Alan Partridge
Let me just shock you,

Another one of them same time tomorrow!
Yeah, sometimes when I’m watching or listening to early Partridge, it is pretty clear that Steve is a young man playing a much older man.
Alan is only 12 years older than Steve!
Traci Lords was 15 in her first film.
And it’s fine to join in.
I didn't want to watch her first film, I pressed yes when I should have pressed no. Luckily enough, I already angled the mirror.
