Just for a leeeeeetle information, this isn't really heckling. He asks the audience to yell out things that are unique about a fish and he delivers some comedy based on their answers. He has a staple reply to someone who tries to be "smart" by saying things like these, and that was his reply

Alan partridge is based on that awkward-situation comedy, he's a socially inept character so most of the fun comes from seeing him interact poorly with people.

This is from "I'm Alan Partridge: Series 2". Steve Coogan at his best.

This particular episode ends with one of my under appreciated sifts.

Babel Fish translation, not the best but...

They leave the country one by one
To go itself from there to earn their living
Far from the ground where they were born
For a long time they dreamed some
City and of its secrecies
Formica and movies
The old men that were not original
When they essuyaient machinal
Of a reverse of handle lips
But they knew all by the way
To kill ruail or young partridge
And to eat divides into volumes it goat

However that the mountain is beautiful
How can one think
By seeing a flight of swallows
What the autumn has just arrived?

With their hands above their heads
They had assembled dry stone walls
Until the top of the hill
What imports the days the years
They had all the well born heart
Knotty like a vine
The vines they run in the forest
The wine will not be drawn any more
It was a horrible nasty wine
But it made centenaries
With more knowknowing to only make some
If it did not turn you the head

However that the mountain is beautiful
How can one think
By seeing a flight of swallows
What the autumn has just arrived?

Two goats and then some sheep
One year good and the other not
And without holidays and exits
The girls want to go to the ball
There is nothing more normal
To want to live its life
Their life they will be cops or civils servant
What to wait without being done some
That the hour of the retirement sounds
It is necessary to know what one likes
And to return in its H.L.M.
To eat chicken with the hormones

However that the mountain is beautiful
How can one think
By seeing a flight of swallows
That the autumn has just arrived

you need to know that Chris Morris, the guy that made it, is a fucking genius.

Also in this clip is an early Alan Partridge, the Steve Coogan character that got his own series.

And you also need to know that this show was made in 1994, it's way ahead of its time, predicting very accurately the farce that television news has become.

Check out Brass Eye and Blue Jam also.

of course, the fact that this clip only has 3 upvotes is yet another sign that the queue is fucked. This is a classic show, a landmark in British broadcasting history, the best satire ever in the universe, the sound and picture quality are ok, and there's no fucking lolcats. If this isn't Sift material then I really don't know what the fuck i am doing here.

Please permanently requeue.

awwww! You guys can be like the Partridge Family! You can play drums, and Sam can do vocals!

cute.. partridge family birds. the music score scene was neat too.

Is he a collegue of Alan Partridge?

Damn right Andy Partridge...member of the group XTC.

Andy Partridge. Cool!

A mentalist is a mental/crazy/insane person. I think it became commonly used over here due to Alan Partridge - I've personally been slightly addicted to the use of it ever since.

Ok...your new quest (should you choose to accept it) is to find the Partridge Family video of "One Night Stand."

btw, this is the bloke that's responsible for other great shows like The Day Today, Alan Partridge and The Thick Of It
