From aqua-aerobics to abortion! From zebras to Zionism! I t is perhaps a slightly coarser, less exquisite agony than in his absolute prime but agony it truly remains.

Such is the ongoing mastery of his creation — brought again to awful, hilarious life by Coogan and his post-Armando Iannucci collaborators Neil and Rob Gibbons — that I flinch from the pain even as I remember the laughs.

Top review. I was fortunate to get a copy of the first season on DVD and just watched it with friends here in the States. And yes, I pretty much agree with everyone else who makes comparisons to Blackadder and Basil Fawlty and Gervais' boss character in The Office.

Partridge is simply one of the funniest and pathetic characters ever to appear on TV.
