Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa - Clips

Alan Partridge is a fatuous, egocentric radio host that has been one of telly's most famous fictitious comedy icons for several years. He now makes a return to screen as his employers, North Norfolk Digital based in Norwich, are about to be taken over by rival media company, Gordale Media, and branded the new name, 'Shape'. People's jobs are now on the line but Alan and his sidekick Simon look like they'll be able to save their shows; one thing's for sure, he's certainly trying to get on the good side of new top boss Jason Tresswell. However, when one DJ is sacked, there's more conflict in the company than they could ever have imagined when they are thrown under siege and brutally held hostage.

'Alpha Papa' is the latest instalment in the Alan Partridge franchise based on a much adored character by Steve Coogan whose comedy never seems to become outdated. Coogan has co-written the movie alongside previous Partridge creators Armando Iannucci, Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons, and also Peter Baynham ('Bruno') and Patrick Marber ('Notes on a Scandal', 'Asylum'). BAFTA TV award winner Declan Lowney ('Father Ted') is directing the movie which is due out on August 7th 2013.
