A-HA! Partridge travelled through time at the AO last night (Friday) as Alan served Manchester a treat.
Steve Coogan’s creation has been one of the country’s best-loved comedy characters for more than 30 years and last night showed there’s plenty left in Norwich’s finest local DJ. Middleton's favourite son Coogan made sure this was a homecoming show of sorts, with plenty of quips about the place.
He started with a sarcastic ‘yeah, The Smiths’ before saying he loved the ‘Happy Roses’ and the ‘Stone Mondays’. He declared Manchester his second favourite city after Liverpool, which was met with a round of boos. He then fetched a cheer from the crowd when he asserted the ‘best thing to come out of Liverpool is the Manchester ship canal’.
