Seldom Patridge
Steve Coogan’s Alan Partridge had a dog named Seldom. The fictional Mastiff lived from 2007 until 2022. The name comes from the expression “A barking dog seldom bites”. Seldom was known for his love of sandwiches, like his fur day Partridge. When asked by The Irish Times, Partridge said “Less than 0.1 per cent of mastiffs attack,” says Partridge as we sidle past the animal. “Unfortunately, Seldom’s the whole of that 0.1 per cent. The kindest thing I can say is that he’s a statistical anomaly.”
Unit 1
