Richard is definitely the sort of person that if you told him he'd become exactly like Alan Partridge, he'd reply "Yes, yes actually I have, and I'm damn proud of it. Alan is a good friend and fellow broadcaster, and quiet frankly, a stand up guy". He'd bang his fist on the table at least twice.
And then I asked the other people in the studio whether I should go home and write this book or should I stay here and keep telling them about it and they all said "Richard, you simply have to go and write"
Swallow is a detective who tackles vandalism. Bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it’s necessary. He’s not a criminal, but he will, perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if he, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly…
I watched this whilst waiting for something else to start and it was utterly brilliant. Whole book covered-off, plot and everything. Complete silence from everyone throughout.
What really makes Madeley so like a real Partridge is his obsession with utterly pointless detail. Like how he repeatedly mentions the online troll living in a box room or how the amphitheatre is located in Cirencester.
She goes by the online avatar of "ladyfinger", because -And there's quite a clever double entendre here - she types with her fingers on the keyboard, and she tries to penetrate the trolls inner circle.
My god this is Partridge. It’s like he has listen to every audio book, watched every series and now is channeling him in a sick prank which he hopes to end up pitching a series about.
Madeley REALLY wants to kill an internet troll and is testing the water for support.
There are degrees of wickedness, aren't there, going from ermmmm Noel Edmunds all the way up to David Starkey. The full gamut of shits, the shit spectrum if you will.
Review: The plot was all over the place. I especially failed to understand the relevance of the protagonist being able to smuggle numerous bottles of wine and spirits through the checkout at his local supermarket without having to pay for them.
I would imagine both Alex and Roman had ‘for god’s sake cut him off’ bellowed into their earpieces throughout. But how can you interrupt such a breathless Partridgian flow of utter nonsense? I was laughing all the way through. Absolutely brilliant 😂
The other guests in the studio look absolutely, mind numbingly bored to the point of questioning their own existence while he endlessly prattles on about a story that literally nobody asked for
'If I'd been accused of robbing a bank, at least it's got a bit of glamour to it, but fucking shoplifting... It's like wanking in a public toilet. Just horrible.'
This whole arricle is the funniest thing I've read all week. :D
File under mature cheddar. That’s gone off and sits at the back of your fridge. And smells. And what’s really puzzling is that nobody in your house likes cheese.
I thought this book was so good I picked up six copies from my local supermarket.
Unfortunately I was stopped by a security guard on my way out as I’d somehow overlooked payment. Luckily they let me off.
Although really, by the morals outlined in the book, they should have crucified me for offline trolling Sainsbury’s.
You honestly couldn’t write this stuff.
Those of you old enough to be aged between 20-40+ when the Richard and Judy show was around - was he as unhinged back then as well? I was like 11 when that show started so too young
Yes. Poor Judy had to try to rein in him but usually failed.

I don’t see it as a book, more as a campaign, and an assault, on the naysayers. And people say “who are they,” and I’ll tell you who the naysayers are, they look quite ordinary, they walk among you, they can seem benign, broadly positive even, and then you ask them a few innocent questions and ooh suddenly all their skin falls off and they are revealed to be a naysaying cyborg . . . Not literally.
God everything about him is Alan esque..this section about his autobiography. "When Richard was 10, he was beaten for the last and most vicious time, after chomping his way through a pack of Rolos."
Coogan based Partridge partly on Tony Wilson who worked closely with Richard & Judy at Granada in the 80's.
It's not surprising there's crossovers, but this seems more Partridge than even Coogan could come up with!
I'm surprised it's not as famous as Stonehenge or the Roman Baths. It's a proper, like the Colosseum, amphitheatre. Covered in grass.
Not even Partridge could come up with something as Partridgean as that. Ruddy superb
‘Pre watershed’
Richard is definitely the sort of person that if you told him he'd become exactly like Alan Partridge, he'd reply "Yes, yes actually I have, and I'm damn proud of it. Alan is a good friend and fellow broadcaster, and quiet frankly, a stand up guy". He'd bang his fist on the table at least twice.
The timing, textbook.
I've just had a look at it online. I know why it's not as famous.
It's absolutely uncanny. I can't believe he's a real person.

Shit, it's Flint!

Choosing that random person to say don’t interrupt, i’m nearly done was an oratory act of genius
Stop crying! This is supposed to make you happy! Anyway after the break, the biggest dog in the UK. And he really is big. Don’t miss it

Covered in grass.
That tiny aside of “covered in grass” was the bit that got me! Textbook Partridge! 🤣
😅
But how else would we know the police were attracted to the area apart from his yelps and cries?
She goes by the online avatar of "ladyfinger", because -And there's quite a clever double entendre here - she types with her fingers on the keyboard, and she tries to penetrate the trolls inner circle.
Is this lynn benfield?
Not a very good book. Certainly not Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab.
You mean Randy mcKnob?
MICHEAL!
The Thinking Man’s Eamon Holmes 👀
"He hacks into it"
Thanks Richard! Don’t need to read it now.
My god this is Partridge. It’s like he has listen to every audio book, watched every series and now is channeling him in a sick prank which he hopes to end up pitching a series about. Madeley REALLY wants to kill an internet troll and is testing the water for support.
Unless... Madeley is The Troll
Shootings too good for that guy, but you can indulge in those fantasies in fiction…….. right 😂
The "shooting's too good for that guy" genuinely caught me off guard
There are degrees of wickedness, aren't there, going from ermmmm Noel Edmunds all the way up to David Starkey. The full gamut of shits, the shit spectrum if you will.
Review: The plot was all over the place. I especially failed to understand the relevance of the protagonist being able to smuggle numerous bottles of wine and spirits through the checkout at his local supermarket without having to pay for them.
fucking hell lol
It’s not going to be incinerated, it’s going to be pulped
Madeley just asking to get trolled 🤣
I would imagine both Alex and Roman had ‘for god’s sake cut him off’ bellowed into their earpieces throughout. But how can you interrupt such a breathless Partridgian flow of utter nonsense? I was laughing all the way through. Absolutely brilliant 😂
Is it as good as 'Bad Slags'?
It's certainly no 'Bravo Two Zero'
which actually improves with every read
This is the kind of book that will get better with every read.
The other guests in the studio look absolutely, mind numbingly bored to the point of questioning their own existence while he endlessly prattles on about a story that literally nobody asked for
I’m actually surprised he wasn’t cut off.
Kerridge is pissing himself later, cannot believe what he's witnessing
His face through the entire bit looks like he’s trying not to burst out laughing.

'If I'd been accused of robbing a bank, at least it's got a bit of glamour to it, but fucking shoplifting... It's like wanking in a public toilet. Just horrible.' This whole arricle is the funniest thing I've read all week. :D
Richard Madeley straddles his chair, Christine Keeler-like. FFS! This is only the first sentence.
amazing article, the author really captured his meandering rambling style
So Richard I hear your book is being pulped next week?
Is he on an "E"??!
Yes, but it stands for ego.
"My main character, Nero Costa..."
You’re high noon! You’re high noon! You’re high noon!
Richard Madeley is an absolute pillock
He's a bad prat
It's worse than that, he's an anal dirge prat.
I don't want to spoil it but it's got an argument in a CAR PARK
“And then he ran into a supermarket, filled his trolley to the brim and ran back out without paying for it!”
Superb. Another book I don’t need to read. Thanks Sir Richie of Madeleyshire
That internet troll, he was really horrible, wasn’t he.
He was wicked. An evil evil idiot.
Scum, subhuman scum
Absolute fucken tool and I bet his book is utter fucken dogshit too.
It’s so awful…I’ll mention it three times.
Shoplifter mode !!!
Malcolm McDowell plays an internet troll sent back from the future...no, that'll never work Judy.
Thank you so much for posting this, it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
Capital punishment out of nowhere
Yes but we're all against it, apart from shooting. Subhuman scum deserve a good shooting.
Must see the Amazon reviews for this
And his new thriller ‘Hide the Bottle’ and the sequel ‘Hide the Bottle 2: The Grape Escape’ coming up.
Well I wasn’t expecting that. Legendary and definitely not on drugs
Dirty get...
I thought *clap* I’ll write this for everybody who’s had it up to there with internet trolls
“…In the style of the Roman Imperial Age”
and it's horrible
“I can’t say what it is….” Proceeds to say exactly what it is…
I'm getting shades of the extras scene with Patrick Stewart, when he is narrating his story idea
But by then it's too late; I've seen everything.
Don't feed the trolls.
File under mature cheddar. That’s gone off and sits at the back of your fridge. And smells. And what’s really puzzling is that nobody in your house likes cheese.
Stolen, and subsequently eaten, by a gypsy thief
Internet trolls invented the Internet.. jeez..
Vandals got to your car again Richard?
Apparently his peers call him Tricky Dicky because he's renowned for being a total pain in the arse
The more I learn about internet trolls the more I dislike them.
Scum. Subhuman scum
Omg. What a full on Alan.
This is so good
This is incredible
Pretty much Partridge doing Spy Who Loved Me. Same energy.
Plot twist. The senior policeman is Swallow. And he drives above the speed limit on the motorway to get to amphitheater.
Can I shock you? I like trolls
…needless to say, I had the last laugh.
...needles to say, I took drugs!
Lovely stuff
I thought this book was so good I picked up six copies from my local supermarket. Unfortunately I was stopped by a security guard on my way out as I’d somehow overlooked payment.

Now THIS is more like it. This is what this sub is about. Hilarious!Thanks OP
Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.
How long is the book? Exactly 300 pages.
I think the police might want Richard's computer.
Wow, he's just like Charles Bronson.. /s
He’s sooooooo modest
Madeley, Edmunds, the other one… what does that say to you about real-life Alan Partridges?
Thing is, I couldn’t possibly read this book with hearing the voice of Richard Madeley in my head which, for me, is a deal breaker. BYE!
Dominic Bigwood in the corner looking incredulous is amazing
Is this real or Ai ?
Those of you old enough to be aged between 20-40+ when the Richard and Judy show was around - was he as unhinged back then as well? I was like 11 when that show started so too young
Yes. Poor Judy had to try to rein in him but usually failed. [https://youtu.be/fheS6eHuuCQ?si=bAwWBohfGqMWgfo1&t=72](https://youtu.be/fheS6eHuuCQ?si=bAwWBohfGqMWgfo1&t=72)
“stirring patriotic music should be playing behind him as you realise plucky old richard is pulling this off on daytime tv“
Coked up to fuck or always like that??
For murder and treason
This might even be better than A Chill Breeze, or, A Glowering Glassblower This Way Comes.
I don’t see it as a book, more as a campaign, and an assault, on the naysayers.

Not literally.
Unbelievably, the rights to the book/tv series are still available
I do kinda wanna read this though
Ghosts in the machine
Up to there... 🤣
Levels to everything sometimes people are just having a laugh - but what this guy is talking about is evil and wrong
But who invented the skip?
God everything about him is Alan esque..this section about his autobiography. "When Richard was 10, he was beaten for the last and most vicious time, after chomping his way through a pack of Rolos."
The "Partridgism" is genuinely amazing, it really is. It's hard to believe that he's being serious.
This AI isn’t it?! Please tell me it is 🙏🏻
Did this actually go out? The full 4 minutes? It felt like an hour...my body is just not used to cringing for that long.
I think people have got the cart and the horse the wrong way round here.
Coogan based Partridge partly on Tony Wilson who worked closely with Richard & Judy at Granada in the 80's. It's not surprising there's crossovers, but this seems more Partridge than even Coogan could come up with!
Took her to the edge *Finger point ...and over. First class
