Alan is handed a career lifeline - the chance to stand in as co-host on This Time, a weekday magazine show. But can he capitalise on the opportunity?
Alan Partridge returns to the BBC with 'This Time with Alan Partridge,' a spoof current affairs program. Alongside his co-host, the much younger and more progressive Jennie Gresham, Alan attempts to navigate contemporary issues with his signature blend of outdated opinions and accidental gaffes. The show frequently finds Alan out of his depth, leading to awkward interviews and hilariously misguided takes on serious subjects.
Critically acclaimed, 'This Time with Alan Partridge' was praised for its sharp writing, Coogan's masterful performance, and its timely satire of media and current events. The series successfully captured the essence of Partridge's character while updating his persona for a modern audience, earning widespread positive reviews from critics and strong appreciation from fans.
Google audience: Audience reception is generally very positive, with many viewers enjoying the signature Alan Partridge humor and the show's satirical take on current affairs.
Nominated for Best Comedy Series at the BAFTA Television Awards.
The format of 'This Time with Alan Partridge' is deliberately inspired by classic BBC magazine shows like 'Nationwide' and 'Breakfast Time', but with the added chaos of Alan's unique hosting style.
