Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge

This incarnation of Alan Partridge's (an always top notch Steve Coogan) career finds him at North Norwich Radio hosting a mid morning show that is not only on the radio but on the internet as well!

Along with his sidekick Simon (a bumbling but funny Tim Key), Alan interviews a variety of local notables, takes listener calls, and banters with Simon while revealing only a little of his own skewed psyche along the way.

I'll be honest, as big a fan as I am of Alan Partridge, I feel this entry is the weakest of all the others I've seen through the years. A lot of that has to do with the fact that it never leaves the tiny studio so we only see the insufferable Alan at work. It's his other life that tends to bring the most laughs, especially when he lived at a motor lodge in "I'm Alan Partridge." Hard to find, to be honest; I ordered a region 2 version via the eBay. But glad I can say that I've seen it.
