Alan Partridge is the most well-known of the many comedy characters of actor Steve Coogan, who first appeared as a football commentator on BBC radio before getting his own chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You. He's a bit like an out-of-touch, embarrassing uncle who has somehow ended up on television - a parody of cliched media personalities. Later series I'm Alan Partridge and Mid-Morning Matters explored his decline from national celebrity to local radio obscurity in his home county, Norfolk - the setting of his long-awaited movie, in which Alan is asked to resolve a dangerous hostage situation in his workplace.
