This Time with Alan Partridge
9.30pm BBC One
Although Steve Coogan’s biopic of Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel was criminally overlooked at this year’s Oscars, the comedian returns to our screens tonight with his most-loved creation – the eccentric Alan Partridge.
The hapless host gets a shot at the big time after the regular host of the BBC magazine show, This Time, falls ill.
Of course Alan jumps at the chance to take his place, and is ready to prove that he is the perfect person for the position.
However, subjects like seal pups and cyber-terrorism could be his downfall.
