Usual Volkischer Beobachter standard of journalism, the "disastrous" tour and booing they refer to was at the quality of material for his other characters - the "Alan" segment was superbly funny.

Certainly nobody booed him at the show I went to. The other characters were always going to be fillers, with Alan being the main event.

I thought that.

Personally I thought his stand up show was very good. The other characters weren't as strong as Partridge. However people went to see Partridge and were willing the support acts off, to get Partridge on.

I've been to big concerts where the support acts were largely booed or ignored not because they were bad, but because people were so so eager to see the headliners, It was the same situation here.

The sneak peek for the first episode doesn't look great.

Please, please, don't ruin Partridge. :sad:

To coin one of his phrases, I want him to bounce back!

Thought today's episode was pretty good. Not "ten on ten" but "certainly competitive".
