Classic comedy: Alan Partridge

Alan Partridge - the quintessential pompous and deluded Englishman in a moment of comic genius when, seeing his new businessman friend, he bellows across the car park of Kitchen Planet, fully expecting to be recognised and given the credence he thinks he deserves. Many characters of English comedy are explorations of the theme of getting above one's station - Basil Fawlty, Reginald Perrin, David Brent. Enjoy.
