Summary

Through a combination of ambition, selfishness and insensitivity, Alan Partridge made himself the man he is. But is wasn't always easy. He's enjoyed everything a life in broadcasting has to offer, encountering mentalists, scary Irishmen, lady boys and Scotch eggs, and more.

Alan Partridge by Steve Coogan

Alan Partridge is Britain's most remarkable broadcaster. He's scaled the giddy heights of a short-lived TV chat show, and the crashing lows of twenty-six weeks in a motel equidistant between Norwich and London. He's survived the death of a guest on air, his wife leaving him for a fitness instructor, an encounter with a mentalist fan, being crushed beneath a dead cow and incomplete sex with a woman he was supposed to be sacking. He's suffered a breakdown, Toblerone addiction, weight gain and his autobiography Bouncing Back being withdrawn and pulped. But Alan continues to bounce back - resilience and Gordon are his middle names. He's still playing his eclectic mix of music and hosting phone-ins on subjects as controversial as 'Should the police learn Kung-Fu?' and 'How long could you survive on just crisps?' Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word charts Alan's incredible journey - from his first, unforgettable radio chat show, to the recent construction of a house to his own specifications. Why don't you join him? Join him...
Alan Partridge presents Up With the Partridge on Radio Norwich and a military-based game show on cable TV. He'll soon be living in a house built to his own specifications in the outskirts of Norwich. He drives a Lexus. (Scripts and extra material by Steve Coogan, Armando Ianucci, Peter Baynham and Patrick Marber)
