Enjoying Riot Women, aren't I? Rock Follies of '25. Needs fewer men in it.

I try to avoid reading too many fan reviews. They're too late to help plays that haven't gone as well as you might have hoped and too kind to the writing on ones where everything's fallen into place with performance, direction and sound design to elevate the work.

What a lovely, unexpected message. I adored that team so much and my favourite thing in that episode was putting them into different pairs until they could finally all get together at the end. Wonderful characters and actors.

I also wondered if the whole shepherd thing might be building into a messianic kind of thing (hence And Did Those Feet...) as Alan begins to get a little bit David Icke (I've not seen episodes 5 or 6 yet).

Love the area it's shot in. One quibble- given the pleasure I get from seeing Alan's editorial process, I'd like him to have addressed the drone shots and panning establishing shot that show this isn't a single camera piece. Ideally, I'd want them to be transparently late additions with a stand in.

Episode 4 of the new Alan Partridge series presents enough of a gear change from the earlier episode to make me suspect it's the series pilot slightly reworked after the show changed tack a little. This one *feels* like the show initially promoted as "And Did Those Feet... with Alan Partridge.

I worry that high profile Naomis with the surnames Parker and either Posey or Posie will be invented one day and my lovely aide-mémoire rhymes will suddenly become completely useless.

You should get to Manchester physically more. Ideally with a big shopping budget and diminished self control.
