Everyone’s favourite caractère tragique Alan Partridge (created and played by Steve Coogan) has returned after 8 years of absence from our screens, only this time round he’s fronting ‘Norfolk Digital Radio’ and we can see his hapless exploits in a Fosters-sponsored YouTube series ‘Alan Partridge’s Mid Morning Matters’ in which Alan and new, young sidekick played by Tim Key (who’s deservedly doing very well at the moment) bumble through his morning radio show. The usually-funny Will Andrews also puts in a good performance. Word on the street is that Baby Cow Productions, the company started many comedy moons ago by Armando Ianucci and Steve Coogan were given complete creative control of the series. Is it funny? Is this essentially an appetite-whetter for the forthcoming Alan Partridge movie? Have Fosters taken a hands-off enough approach?
