The book revels Partridge as he always was, and ever shall be - a perennially foot-in-mouth oaf incapable of seeing the tragedy of himself

The book revels Partridge as he always was, and ever shall be – a perennially foot-in-mouth oaf incapable of seeing the tragedy of himselfOctober 19, 2023 12:28 pm, the no-less-than third instalment of his memoirs, fretting over cancel culture. The ageing broadcaster is, after all, prime meat for “woke” reconsideration. But he has an ace up his sleeve – he’ll mitigate any awkward revelations with upfront mea culpas.

Elsewhere, suspicious over the pervasive air of anxiety within the BBC, he wonders why Jeremy Clarkson was really axed from“Was fired simply because he hospitalised a producer for not supplying a hot meal and calling him a lazy Irish c***? If that were a sackable offence, Joan Bakewell would have been toast long ago.”

Mostly, though, the book revels in a series of set pieces that ably showcase Partridge as he always was, and ever shall be: a perennially foot-in-mouth oaf incapable of seeing the tragedy of himself quite as clearly as everyone else does.
