Do you think the New Alan Partridge online episodes are a good or bad idea?
Alan Partridge Online Episodes - Good or Bad Idea?

I can't wait to see them. I just hope they live up to expectations.
Depends entirely on the quality of the script and performance.
I think it's a natural progression for Partridge. From Radio to TV back to Radio and now the latest medium, the internet. Not sure how much the Fosters sponsor will influence it? Hopefully it won't be just one long advert.
As long as it's funny, I suppose, fine. It'll be over an hour of new Partridge, which is good news.
Mixed feelings on this as I like my comedy on TV not online.
Will be ripping it and watching it on my media player

Also.
I'm not an online TV fan either - we don't pay a fortune for our huge tellies these days only to have to watch our favourite progs on a little laptop screen. I hope this is just a little fad and not the future. However if this new AP show is just an extra that would never have got on BBC TV then I'll take it and watch it, it's Alan Partridge for gord's sake!
I watch most of my TV shows online. I don't have to have a 72 inch screen to watch things.
Hopefully, the scripts are decent and not second rate just to get the money from Fosters.
I think it is a waste of such a good comedy, if you have something that people will be this excited about, put it on a format where people are likely to want to watch it.

For me, the internet is a perfectly acceptable output for comedy, so much so that I rarely, if ever, watch comedy live on TV anymore. These days I prefer to watch DVDs/iPlayer or else download shows and play them through my TV. Who these days can guarantee being in the same place at the same time every week for a TV show?

That's exactly what they are doing. 
I'll just plug the TV into the PC and watch them that way. Sorted.
