I've just read some fantastic news for anyone like me who is a fan of Alan Partridge. Apparently the Fosters Company are funding the production of 12, 11 minute long episodes as part of a new comedy based initiative to promote the brand.
For anyone who doesn't know who Alan Partridge is, he is a fictional character played by Steve Coogan that has appeared in various series of episodes from the beginning of the early 90's up until 2002. Alan started off as a television presenter on The Day Today, and the series that follow document the trials and tribulations of his hilarious, pompous and sometimes sad existence.
The new set of short episodes, (written by Armando Iannucci) will see Partridge played by Coogan and feature him presenting his new programme called "Mid Morning Matters". The episodes will maintain the Foster's branding throughout and will be produced by Naked Communications. They start on the 5th of November and I for one cannot wait to see what they are like, and I don't care how sad that sounds!
I've posted a link to give you all an essence of the Partridge phenomenon....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW4yAPpEwT0
