Alan Partridge’s Irish lookalike leaves viewers howling by singing Come Out, Ye Black And Tans on the BBC
This Time With Alan Partridge delivered arguably its best episode yet last night , with a little help from Irish rebellion sing-alongs.
Back in 1972 when The Wolfe Tones released Come Out, Ye Black And Tans, the idea of it being aired on BBC primetime was unimaginable – being a song referring to the brutal actions of the British paramilitary police force in Ireland throughout the 1920s. Well Alan Partridge’s new parody magazine show drudged up that history for a new audience. In the latest episode we meet Martin Brennan, an Irish farmer who is also an Alan Partridge impersonator.With Steve Coogan playing both roles, Brennan was generally unfazed by the show going off around him, and didn’t even know who Partridge was in the beginning.Speaking to the host, Brennan said: ‘I didn’t know who you were. My cousin said you’d be as well being a Martin Brennan impersonator in Sligo.
