Actor and comedian Steve Coogan has said he sang Come Out, Ye Black and Tans on primetime BBC television last year as a "private bet" and as part of an "in-joke".
— Entertainment on RTÉ February 14, 2020 In a scene that became the standout moment from the whole series, Martin scandalised bungling TV host Alan when he performed an impromptu rendition of Come Out, Ye Black and Tans, followed by a verse of The Men Behind the Wire. Asked if there was much resistance to the idea from the BBC, Coogan said, "No, no. It's an in-joke for us but it works comically because Alan Partridge plays a member of the establishment who is appalled by it and that’s where the comedy comes from so artistically it’s entirely justifiable but it also makes me have a private chuckle."
