Does anyone know why the BBC haven't put out a date for this to start yet? We're a third of the way through February so we're running out of time if it's going to be this month. Want to see it.

Yep the beeb are being as annoying with partridge as HBO is with Game of Thrones (although at least we have a date for GOT now).

I've seen Feb mentioned in articles but no exact date yet :(

Let's just hope Phil and the Queen don't die, there'll be wall to wall mawkish coverage and Partridge shunted off into the horizon.

Or Alan's given the chance to commentate on the funeral. Alongside Bill Oddie.

Ah-ha! Cannot WAIT for this, I piss at Partridge. Just listened to I, Partridge, We Need To Talk About Alan - for the third time. It is sublimely funny, in a way that makes you giggle like a loon on public transport.

Regarding Michael...

https://inews.co.uk/culture/television/alan-partridge-simon-greenall/

The film’s credits told viewers that the search for Michael was “called off after 45 minutes”, and in Partridge’s latest book – 2016’s Nomad – it was revealed that Michael was in fact dead. That’s something Greenall is “fine” with, saying “Michael died doing something he loved – ‘summat daft’. “A lightbulb burns brightest just before it goes out forever.” With Partridge returning as the ‘voice of Brexit‘ in a new BBC series next year, fans could be hoping for a re-writing of Partridge lore, and a return from Michael. But Greenall says we shouldn’t hold our breaths, saying that Partridge as a character “has moved on”.

I think it was Alans radio sidekick Simon that was said to be in the new series, back when it was first announced.

I was listening to it walking through the woods the other week, and a bit where he talked about the family he went to stay with when his mum and dad were on holiday done me.
He said the dad was an asthmatic, but what he lacked in breathing quietly he more than made up for in parental responsibility.
I laughed out loud just as I was passing a couple.
Another bit about exhuming and duffing up his dad's corpse had a similar effect too.

I remember both bits!! :D

I've had issues with Steve Coogan in the past, back when he was a lady-lovin' drunkard, but I cannot take away from the fact he is scarily close to comedy genius.
