Probably one the best comedies I've ever witnessed will finally be coming to the big screen.
Alan Partridge for those of you not familiar with him, is a washed up T.V. presenter has-been who is narcisisstic, has a habbit of speaking his mind at the most inappropiate times which leads to golden awkward cringey moments and absolutel hilarity.
He's arguably the main inspiration for Ricky Gervais' Dave Brent of The Office. He's great at creating those awkward moments and really putting his foot in it.

Alan meets someone strangely like him

Brilliant, I love Alan Partridge. There has been rumours of a film being made for absolutely ages by now but i always doubted them, can't wait to go see this.

"The temperature inside this apple pie is over 1000 degrees. If I squeeze it, a jet of molten bramley apple will squirt out. Could go your way; could go mine. Either way, one of us is going down"

This has to be one my favorite all time quotes from Partridge. Sums up the entire show in one I think.

Cannae wait. Not sure how it'll work in a movie format but it'll still be good for a few laughs. Anyone read the Partridge autobiography? I managed to get it for free on audiobook, about half way through but haven't listened in a while, was canny funny though.

Got the book at Christmas. It's funny but I think I need to pick it up again

I'm beyond excited, and forced the misses to sit through it all the other day, KMKYWAP, Welcome to the Places..., and both I'm Alan Partridge series; I felt it was okay to miss out Mid Mornign Matters. I am slgihtly worried about how this is going to turn out. I haven't seen his live act so I'm not sure how Partridge came across through that, and well, considering this is a bit more "big time", the act could lose a lot of its charm and character. Still, I'd watch it, and as for now, I'm excited.
