Jeez Saturday Live with Adrian Chiles is like a real life Alan Partridge show on North Norfolk Digital. As the yoot would say, it’s utter cringe.

"I read it over now with this kind of full-spectrum cringe of the spirit. It’s the rattle of a person going on and professorially on, quite as if the substance of a discipline, or its intellectual trajectory, or even just the nourishing joy of sustained and serious study, mattered at all to the person he was talking to, or to the majestic institution he represents. And honestly, what could be more feeble?
It’s not that those things don’t matter: they absolutely goddamn do, and will keep on mattering, and I wouldn’t go on with the whole tedious business of teaching if I thought otherwise. It’s just that they never mattered much to the Times and they are, to appearances, mattering less and less by the day. I should remember that, and so should you."

Soon, Trump will demand the issuance of USD 1000 notes with his own face on it.

Watched the new Alan Partridge show on BBC, "How Are You?".
Got a chortle or two from every episode, he's still that same embarrassing cringe character as always. Fun to watch him struggle with reality and, in this case, fail to really grasp mental health.
The character has come a long way since The Day Today and Brasseye. They never would have guessed it back then.
