Ollie Watkins

[eamonn]

The audiobooks make the books come to life - We Need To Talk About Alan was fantastic, I listened to it when i had an Audible subscription but stopped when the pandemic came along and I wasn't doing enough commuting to get through a book a month.

Spotify do audiobooks now, I have the latest Partridge book downloaded to listen to.

He's had the same writers since Mid-Morning Matters (I agree, it's really good). It just doesn't work as a live concept because his whole schtick is how he reacts to other people.

I loved Mid Morning Matters. I think the key to good situation comedy is it having an element of believability, and the setup of a small unknown digital radio station was really good.

I didn't think it was possible to like Ollie more than I already did, But what a incredibly nice and humble guy.

The latest TV series still had its moments (the IRA episode was classic Patridge), but I watched his latest stand up show and it was possibly the worst thing I've ever seen. And I was at Bradford away.

The books, podcasts and TV shows are still great. I spent a hideous amount of money to see the live show at the O2. Fucking hell.

I'm the same, still enjoy all his stuff and was really, really pissed off to miss out on the live show... I watched it about 2 months ago and I think it's one of the worst live shows I have ever seen. I couldn't believe how bad it was, how everyone involved could produce such shite? Did it feel as bad in the room? Or did that thing happen when everyone just tricks themselves into enjoying it as it's a night out?

The first half was tight enough, and seemed a relatively worthwhile experience. The second half though...

Yeah, the one thing me and my brother said was that it got worse as it went on. I think I laughed at a couple of things in the first 20 or so, but that was about it.

To relax before a game, he likes watching Paul and Pauline Calf videos.

I'd have brought him on for the 2nd half of Stratagem.

Edit: Actually I'd have brought on Toney.

He's like Alan Partridge if Alan Partridge wasn't funny.

Sadly, like Alan Partridge these days, then.

His podcasts and books are some of the best Partridge there has ever been. His live show was shite though.

From that podcast:

The night before Unai Emery took charge of his first match against Man Utd, he told Ollie Watkins he didn't need to sign another striker.

"He said to me, 'by the end of the season you'll score 15 goals, I watched all of your clips at Brentford. You're an amazing player'."

If you watch on YouTube, you can see the smile on his face when they mention Champions League qualification;

Warmed me cockles that did.

Ollie's so resigned to not getting a game, he's taken to giving away his kit;
