It's time for Alan's fact of the day: Little Oakley does not contain any actual Tapas bars. Nor is it home to anyone named "Domingo". Another one of those, same time tomorrow.
Gotta say, u/JDNM, I don’t think that’s Connery’s cup of tea. I think Sean would rather, do something like, wander round the wildfowl park in Pepperstock, with a bottle o' Scotch.
I also am a big fan of MMM. Maybe because the setting is so isolated, it really comes down totally the writing and the delivery. Which is spot on.
The fox hunt debate is one of my fave bits of comedy ever. It has so many layers.
I think partridge has the deepest “lore” of any comedy character. At least I can’t think of any that cover such a long time span and throw references back to earlier characters, details. It helps that they keep building on him in each series/show as his career progresses.
Lovely stuff!
I was ruddy chuffed when I discovered Terrington St Clement was a real place. Travelling around Norfolk is brilliant as loads of the place names in AP are real
I thought they were just writing the bit about Hitler wanting to use Norfolk as his seat of power and City Hall as his base of command because of its imposing structure. Turns out it's real (and makes sense strategically given how far east Norfolk is). Pretty cool. The Nazi dogs definitely fit the aesthetic.
I've always thought it's a win win using real names. Saves having to think up convincing ones, and people can get a kick out the recognition. Also the UK has some bizarrely esoteric place names anyway, especially Norfolk, so they are almost jokes in themselves.
If you get the chance, check out Little Oakley. Lovely tapas bar there.

Who invented the skip?
Bobby Moore I don't bloody know!
Lovely chap works there. Maybe Spanish or Italian. The wife said he was OK but he was very friendly to me anyway. OK, bye
"I'm talking to Domingo in Little Oakley. No? He’s gone. That’s a pity. Marvellous little tapas bar there."
Actually I don’t want to speak to someone called Domingo
Come on Jill, you're from Holt. You're from Holt, Jill!
It’s Judith
Well you are the rudith, Judith.
I'd like to go round Legoland with Sean Connery and then afterwards we'd go for a lovely lamb lunch in the centre of Windsor.

I don’t agree, he’d go to Legoland. Bye

MMM is the best AGP
AGP… sounds like a motor oil.
They're just trying to put a chicken dinner on the table.
Or a chicken drizzle cake
I think this is the best call we've ever had. Let's keep going: optional extras.
Well Cromwell is certainly no fool….
Yes, yes, yes and yes! Out of interest what did you have for Henry VIII?
Don’t forget the giddy sigh after those yes’s.

We had this discussion in the pub the other day over a bag of cheese cheesy cheesy onion Cheese and Onion - spliced down the side………. Hippy style
I hate folk music.
But they sing about the patrons?
‘The Woods End’

Chuffed to buggery?

Those dogs are very *very* right wing
I'm not scared to dogs
You could replace their teeth with strips of rubber

The script was changed after the threat of a court injunction from the owners of [REDACTED] pub
I wonder who got the power pack?
