Sadbnnuy

One of the Irish guys in this doing the interview, tall one with Black hair, he's Graham Linehan. He wrote Black Books, Father Ted, and IT Crowd. It's cool that there's a crossover

Kate

I love this one!!

David Jones

Yes correct! Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews!

After Work Reactions

LOL agreed.

Andrew Manford

So creepy and funny !!!

Hannah

Funniest one so far. You mentalist!

Hannah

I think the two Irish guys are the writers of Father Ted. I could be wrong though and i can't be bothered googling just yet!!

Faisal Ramzan

Great episode, haven't seen most of these before - so it is even funnier.

Adam C Turek

the fan with all the posters was based off a story told by another British comedian Stewart Lee, where he spent the night at a fans house after a gig but got there to find posters of him. Recently it was cleared up as the fan became a famous musician and explained he had justthe one poster of him as well as other comedians and bands, like you do when yo're a student. Also notice the camera crew and sound guy in the reflection of the car when Alan drives off? so blatant i'm surprised they kept it in

After Work Reactions

LOL the mask was creepy lol

Jon Johnson

Funny when the Irish guy said it's only 49 quid on a plane back then - it's only about £20 return these days.

After Work Reactions

LOL this show is goofy I love it

After Work Reactions

Oh wow very interesting. Thanks for the info bud.

Probably my favourite episode of the first series. Jed is one of the most disturbing creations in a comedy show. Plus when he puts that mask on, he looks like something out of the horror video game Manhunt... don’t know why.

Michael

I'd have to disagree. Wasn't you talking shit like 3 weeks in a row in the comments? I Might be mistaken.

Ok so the old show was funny, I just remember each time he tries to bing back the character and it isn't funny.

Claire Prowse

'You're a mentalist' just love it🤣🤣

Manly Stump

Who also played the guy with the voice box in the episode with the farmers

Dave P

Simon Pegg initially auditioned for the part of Jed Maxwell, but didn't get it.

Dave P

And the guy with the blond hair is Arthur Mathews, co writer of Father Ted and Toast of London.

Chris F

Irish guy with the darker hair is graham linehan, writer of father ted and it crowd

Charlie

The Robert Maxwell joke is a reference to the newspaper mogul Robert Maxwell, who died in mysterious circumstances shortly before it emerged he had stolen millions from his company's pension fund. His daughter is now even more notorious than him... Also, look carefully during An Afternoon With Alan Partridge and you'll see Ben and Sophie in the audience.

Pointless trivia but both videos you posted today, Borat and Partridge were both written by Peter Baynham .
