Name?

[edit]

I'm not sure whether moving this to Alan Partridge is in Alpha Papa is a little premature - is that little teaser trailer sketch not just intended as a joke about choosing a bad title for a film, rather like the monkey tennis scene? The BBC Films website [1] does have "Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa" as the title listed, though. Weirdly, it looks like the domain listed on the end of the trailer [2] is for sale. Surely they would have bought it before listing it on a widely available trailer?. Bob talk 22:57, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I got the impression that the title was simply "Alpha Papa" - the "Alan Partridge is in..." seemed like a play on standard film trailers. Also, the website listed is http://www.alanpartridge-alphapapa.com which currently redirects to http://www.facebook.com/AlanPartridgeMovie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.213.227 (talk) 13:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I have moved it to the title most commonly used in newspapers, etc. Bob talk 19:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Success

[edit]

How can a film which barely broke even financially be called a sucess? 115.87.79.41 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:16, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where does the article say that? Bob talk 22:42, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Lynn arrives and thinks Alan is dead, but a paramedic assures him that he will be fine."

[edit]

Should "him" be "her" in this sentence? Otherwise the mention of Lynn seems barely relevant. Equinox 20:26, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Him" is correct (IIRC) but you're right that Lynn is irrelevant there, so removed. Popcornduff (talk) 03:20, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
