Alan Gordon Partridge is an English comedy character portrayed bySteve Coogan. Aparody of British television personalities, Partridge is a tactless and inept broadcaster with an inflated sense of celebrity. Since his debut in 1991, he has appeared in radio and television series, books, podcasts and film.
Partridge was created by Coogan andArmando Iannucci for the 1991BBC Radio 4 comedy programmeOn the Hour, a spoof of Britishcurrent affairs broadcasting. In 1992, Partridge hosted a spin-off spoofchat show,Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge.On the Hour transferred to television asThe Day Today in 1994, followed byKnowing Me, Knowing You later that year. In 1997, theBBC broadcastI'm Alan Partridge, a sitcom written by Coogan, Iannucci andPeter Baynham about Partridge's life in a roadside hotel working for aNorwich radio station. It earned twoBAFTAs and was followed by a second series in 2002.
After a hiatus, Partridge returned in 2010 with a series of shorts,Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge, written withRob and Neil Gibbons, who have cowritten every Partridge project since. Over the following years, Partridge expanded into other media, including the spoof memoirI, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan (2011) and the feature filmAlan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013). In 2019, Partridge returned to the BBC withThis Time with Alan Partridge, a spoof of magazine shows such asThe One Show, followed by anAudible podcast in 2020 and a touring show in 2022.
Coogan said Partridge began as a "one-note" character, but slowly became more complex and empathetic. While the writers use Partridge to satirise bigotry and privilege, they also aim to create empathy. Critics have praised Partridge's complexity, realism andpathos.Vanity Fair called him a Britishnational treasure andThe Guardian described him as "one of the greatest and most beloved comic creations of the last few decades". Partridge is credited with influencingcringe comedies such asThe Inbetweeners,Nighty Night andPeep Show. In a 2001 poll byChannel 4, Partridge was voted seventh in their list of the100 Greatest TV Characters.

Alan Partridge was created for the 1991BBC Radio 4 comedy programmeOn the Hour, aspoof of Britishcurrent affairs broadcasting, as the show's haplesssports presenter.[1] DevelopingOn the Hour, the producer,Armando Iannucci, askedSteve Coogan to voice a generic sports reporter, with elements ofElton Welsby,Jim Rosenthal andJohn Motson.[2] Coogan had performed a similar character for a BBCcollege radio station while at university.[1] Iannucci said they developed a backstory for the character "within minutes".[3] The name was inspired by the formerNewsbeat presenter Frank Partridge.[4] Iannucci,Patrick Marber,Richard Herring andStewart Lee wrote much of the early Partridge material; Herring credits the creation to Coogan and Iannucci.[5]
Marber felt Partridge had potential for other projects, and encouraged Coogan to develop his character.[3] Coogan performed as Partridge and other characters at the 1992Edinburgh Fringe.[6] In December 1992,BBC Radio 4 began broadcasting a six-episode spoof chat show,Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge. The series saw Partridge irritate and offend his guests, and coined his catchphrase, "Aha!".[7]
In 1994,On the Hour transferred to television onBBC Two asThe Day Today, in which Partridge reprised his role as sports reporter.[1] Later that year,Knowing Me, Knowing You transferred to television.[8] The series ends with Partridge accidentally shooting a guest.[7] It was nominated for the 1995BAFTA for Light Entertainment Performance.[9] A Christmas special,Knowing Me, Knowing Yule, followed in December 1995, in which Partridge attacks a BBC commissioning editor, ending his television career.[10]
In 1997, BBC Two broadcast asitcom,I'm Alan Partridge, written by Coogan, Iannucci andPeter Baynham. It follows Partridge after he has been left by his wife and dropped from the BBC. He lives in a roadside hotel outsideNorwich, presents agraveyard slot on local radio, and desperately pitches ideas for new television shows. Iannucci said the writers aimed to create "a kind of social X-ray of male middle-agedMiddle England".[1]I'm Alan Partridge won the 1998 BAFTA awards for Comedy Performance and Comedy Programme or Series.[9]
In 1999, Partridge appeared on the BBCtelethonComic Relief, performing a medley ofKate Bush songs.[11] BBC Two broadcast a second series ofI'm Alan Partridge in 2002,[1] following Partridge's life in astatic caravan with his new Ukrainian girlfriend after recovering from amental breakdown.[12][13] The writers found the second series difficult to make, feeling it had been too long since the first and that expectations for sitcoms had changed.[2]
AfterI'm Alan Partridge, Coogan tired of Partridge and limited him to smaller roles, feeling he had become an "albatross".[2][14] In March 2003, the BBC broadcast amockumentary,Anglian Lives: Alan Partridge, about Partridge's life and career.[7] Coogan performed as Partridge at theRoyal Albert Hall in support of theTeenage Cancer Trust in 2004.[15] In 2008, he performed a tour, Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge and other Less Successful Characters, featuring Partridge as alife coach.[16]
Coogan returned to Partridge after pursuing other projects, such as his work with the directorMichael Winterbottom on films such as24 Hour Party People (2002).[17] He said he did not want to say goodbye to Partridge, and that "as long as I can do my other things, that, to me, is the perfect balance".[2] In 2020, Coogan said that though he had once tired of Partridge, he had now become "a battered, comfortable old leather jacket".[14]
Partridge returned in 2010 in a series ofYouTube shorts,Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge, as the host of a digital radio show with a new character, Sidekick Simon (Tim Key).[18] The series was later broadcast bySky Atlantic.[1] Coogan wrote it with the brothersNeil and Rob Gibbons, who submitted scripts to his companyBaby Cow Productions. The Gibbons brothers have co-written every Partridge project since. According to Neil, Coogan "invited us in, our sensibilities chimed ... I think we were like two pairs of fresh eyes, and Steve seemed to fall in love with the character all over again."[1]
Coogan said they chose the web format because "it was a bit underground, a low-key environment in which to test the character out again. And the response was so good, we realised there was more fuel in the tank."[1] In his 2015 autobiography, Coogan wrote that he feltMid Morning Matters was "the purest, most mature and funniest incarnation of Partridge", which he credited to the Gibbons brothers.[19]
In 2011, a spoof autobiography,I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan, written by Coogan, Iannucci and the Gibbons brothers, was published byHarperCollins. Coogan also recorded anaudiobook version as Partridge. In the book, Partridge recounts his childhood and career, attempts to settle scores with people he feels have wronged him, and dispenses wisdom such as his assertion thatWikipedia has made university education "all but pointless".[20] Coogan appeared as Partridge to promoteI, Partridge onThe Jonathan Ross Show[21] andBBC Radio 5 Live.[22] It received positive reviews and became a bestseller.[1][23]
On 25 June 2012, Partridge presented a one-hour Sky Atlantic special,Alan Partridge: Welcome to the Places of My Life, taking the viewer on a tour of Partridge's home county,Norfolk.[24] The programme earned Coogan the 2013 BAFTA for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme.[9] It was followed the next week byOpen Books with Martin Bryce, a mock literary programme discussing Partridge's autobiography.[24]
On 7 August 2013, a feature film,Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, was released in the UK. It was directed byDeclan Lowney[25] and co-produced byStudioCanal and Baby Cow Productions, with support fromBBC Films and theBFI Film Fund.[26] The film sees Partridge enlisted as acrisis negotiator during a siege at his radio station.[24]
Filming began with an incomplete script, and Coogan and the Gibbons brothers rewrote much of it on the set. The rushed production was difficult; Coogan and Iannucci disagreed on the script, morale was low, and there were problems with casting and funding. In his memoir, Coogan wrote that it was the hardest he had ever worked and the loneliest he had ever felt; however, he was proud of the finished film.[19]Alpha Papa was acclaimed and opened at number one at the box office in the UK and Ireland.[27][28]
In 2015, Coogan co-presented a special Christmas episode of theChannel 4 chat showTFI Friday as Partridge.[29] In February 2016, Sky Atlantic broadcast a second series ofMid Morning Matters.[30]Alan Partridge's Scissored Isle, a mockumentary in which Partridge examines the Britishclass divide, followed in May also starringBen Rufus Green.[31] A second book,Alan Partridge: Nomad, atravelogue in which Partridge recounts a journey across the UK, was published on 20 October.[32]
In July 2017, Partridge appeared in an episode of theBBC Radio 4 programmeInheritance Tracks, in which guests choose music to pass to future generations; he selected "Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" byBarry Mann and the theme fromGrandstand.[33] Iannucci guest-edited an October 2017 issue ofThe Big Issue, featuring a debate onBrexit between Partridge andMalcolm Tucker, a character fromThe Thick of It, another sitcom created by Iannucci.[34] On 27 December, BBC Two broadcast a documentary about the history of Partridge,Alan Partridge: Why, When, Where, How and Whom?[35]
Partridge returned to the BBC in February 2019 with a six-part series,This Time with Alan Partridge, a spoofcurrent affairs programme in the style ofThe One Show.[36] In the series, Partridge stands in after the regular host falls ill.[36] Coogan felt it was the right time for Partridge to return as he might represent the views of Brexit voters.[36] Neil Gibbons said the world of live television had changed since Partridge's creation: "If someone fluffed a line or got someone's name wrong or said something stupid, it was mortifying. But nowadays, those are the sort of people who are given jobs on TV."[36] A second series was broadcast in 2021.[37]
In August 2019, after he was caught speeding, Coogan escaped a driving ban after arguing that a planned Alan Partridge series could not be filmed on public transport, as driving is part of Partridge's character. Themagistrates determined that it would cause “exceptional hardship" on the production staff if the series were cancelled.[38]
In September 2020,Audible launched an Alan Partridge podcast,From the Oasthouse.[39] It sees Partridge discussing topics such as relationships, family and theculture wars.[40] Coogan said the podcast format was liberating, with more opportunity for nuance and less need to create punchlines to unite the audience.[14] The podcast was carefully scripted rather than improvised.[14] Further series were released in September 2022[41] and October 2023.[42]
In April 2022, Coogan began a UK Alan Partridge tour,Stratagem, in which Partridge gave a motivational talk and addressed topics such asidentity politics andculture wars.[43] TheGuardian critic Brian Logan gave the show four out of five, praising its "rich comedy of physical awkwardness" and writing that Partridge was now "at the centre of his own thriving multi-platform metaverse". He noted that though Coogan had once tired of Partridge, he now "clearly takes pleasure in the performance".[44] TheIndependent critic Louis Chilton gave it two out of five, finding its jokes obvious and dated and that Partridge did not work in a live format.[45]
In August 2022, Partridge joined the rock bandColdplay to perform the 1985Kate Bush song "Running Up That Hill" atWembley Stadium, London.[46] A third Partridge memoir,Big Beacon, covering his return to television and his experience restoring a lighthouse, was published on 12 October 2023.The Times gave it a positive review, praising its "skilfully terrible writing".[47] In January 2025, Coogan confirmed that filming was complete for a new BBC series,How Are You?, which has Partridge exploring mental health issues following a year in Saudi Arabia.[48]

Alan Partridge is an incompetent and tactless television and radio presenter,[8][50] with an inflated sense of importance and celebrity.[12] He is socially inept and often offends his guests.[51] According to theTelegraph, Partridge is "utterly convinced of his own superiority, and bewildered by the world's inability to recognise it".[1] His need for public attention drives him to deceit, treachery and shameless self-promotion.[50] In theKnowing Me, Knowing Yule Christmas special, he assaults a BBC boss and a paralysed man.[10] Marber said Partridge's fundamental characteristic is desperation,[35] and described him as part of a British tradition of "sad little man" characters such asCaptain Mainwaring,Basil Fawlty andDavid Brent.[2]
Coogan said Partridge was originally a "one-note, sketchy character"[52] and "freak show", but slowly became refined as a dysfunctional alter ego.[53] Whereas Coogan has affection for Partridge, he said Iannucci sees him as "basically an idiot".[19] As he aged, Coogan become comfortable revealing unattractive and dysfunctional parts of himself in Partridge. In his memoir, he wrote that he finds it irritating when people observe that he is sometimes similar, and wrote: "I reply, 'Well, yes. Of course I am.' They can't quite believe this admission. 'But he's an idiot! Are you saying he's part of you?' As patiently as possible, I'll say, '"Yes, because part of me is an idiot!'"[19]
Coogan credited Neil and Rob Gibbons for giving Partridge a more rounded personality in later incarnations, and said: "The 21st-century Alan is a nicer man. He is more empathetic and less about mocking the fool. MoreMalvolio and lessFrank Spencer."[19] The Gibbons brothers felt that by the time ofMid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge, when Partridge is working for an even smaller radio station, he is more at peace with himself and that his lack of self-awareness saves him from misery.[54] Iannucci said that Partridge stays optimistic because he never sees himself as others see him,[51] and that despite his failings he was "the perfect broadcaster for these times, when there are 24 hours to fill and dead time is a crime—he has a unique capacity to fill any vacuum with his own verbal vacuum".[1]
Baynham said that although Partridge is unpleasant, the writers ofI'm Alan Partridge tried to build empathy: "You're watching a man suffer but also at some level identifying with his pain."[54] ForAlpha Papa, Coogan wanted Partridge to be heroic and for the audience to sympathise with him while laughing at him: "You know he's done the wrong thing, but at least he's got some humanity. It's impossible to sustain 90 minutes of good drama without investing in the character."[19]Felicity Montagu, who plays Partridge's assistant, Lynn, felt he was vulnerable and loveable, and a good person "deep down".[55]
Partridge holdsright-wing views. He is a reader of the right-wing newspaper theDaily Mail, and supportedBrexit in line with theDaily Mail position.[56] Coogan, who isleft-wing,[43] described Partridge as aLittle Englander, with a "myopic, slightly philistine mentality".[55] Coogan felt the humour came from Partridge's misjudgement, rather than in a celebration of bigotry: "I don't want to add to the sum total of human misery. I want to point out things where we can improve our behaviour, myself included."[2] He aimed to use humour to hold privileged and powerful people accountable.[2]
Earlier versions of Partridge were more bigoted, but the writers found there was more humour in having him attempt to beprogressive.[55] For example, inI, Partridge, he stresses his friendship with the gay television presenterDale Winton.[20] Coogan said Partridge was aware ofpolitical correctness: "In the same way that theDaily Mail is a bit PC—it wouldn't be openly homophobic now—Alan is the same. He tries to be modern."[55]
Partridge lives inNorwich in theEast of England. Iannucci said the writers chose it as it is "geographically just that little bit annoyingly too far from London, and has this weird kind of isolated feel that seemed right for Alan".[1] According toForbes, Partridge has "parochial bad taste",[57] and Coogan described him as "on the wrong side of cool".[53] He is a fan ofJames Bond films andLexus cars.[58] His talk show catchphrase, "Aha!", comes fromAbba, and he named his son Fernando and his talk showKnowing Me, Knowing You after Abba songs.[13]
In earlier incarnations, Partridge's wardrobe included ablazer, badge and tie,driving gloves and "too-short" shorts, styles he describes as "sports casual" and "imperial leisure".[59] According to Iannucci, by the time ofAlpha Papa, Partridge had "evolved to theTop Gear presenter circa 2005 stage", withsports jackets and afoppish fringe.[1] Coogan said that the rise ofpostmodernism had made it difficult to find clothes for Partridge, as "everything we had once seen as square or distasteful was now being worn byhipsters ... The waters of what was uncool became so muddied that it was difficult to find anything looked bad and not just ironic. It even made me question if Alan was still relevant."[19] As Coogan aged, the makeup he wore in earlier performances became unnecessary.[1]
Vanity Fair described Alan Partridge as anational treasure and a cherished part of British comedy, alongside characters such asBasil Fawlty andMr. Bean".[60] According toVariety,in Britain "Alan Partridge is a full-on phenomenon, a multiplatform fictional celebrity whose catchphrases, mangled metaphors and social ineptitude are the stuff of legend and good ratings".[61] Though Partridge is less known outside Britain,Adam McKay, the director of the 2004 comedyAnchorman, said he is well known among American comedians includingBen Stiller,Will Ferrell andJack Black: "Everyone watching those [Partridge] DVDs had the same reaction. How did I not know about this guy?"[60]IndieWire wrote that "before there wasRon Burgundy for the Yanks, there was Alan Partridge for the Brits".[62]
Brian Logan wrote in theGuardian that though Partridge was created as a satire of the "asinine fluency of broadcaster-speak" of the time, his development as a character study gave him a timeless quality.[63] AnotherGuardian journalist,John Crace, wrote: "By rights, Alan Partridge should have been dead as a character years ago, the last drops of humour long since wrung out ... but Steve Coogan keeps finding ways to make him feel fresh."[64] TheIndependent wrote that Partridge was a "disarming creation" whom the audience root for despite his flaws.[65]
In theGuardian,Alexis Petridis wrote that audiences find Partridge funny partly because they recognise themselves in him,[66] and Edmund Gordon called Partridge "a magnificent comic creation: a monster of egotism and tastelessness".[20] According to Gordon, Partridge allows progressive audiences to laugh atpolitically incorrect humour as "every loathsome comment is sold to us not as a gag, but as a gaffe".[20] Writing that Partridge "channels the worst excesses of the privileged white man who considers himself nonetheless a victim", theNew Statesman journalist Daniel Curtis saw Partridge as a precursor topost-truth politicians such asNigel Farage andDonald Trump.[67]
Mandatory wrote that Partridge was "a fascinatingly layered and fully realised creation of years of storytelling and a fundamentally contemptible prick—he feels like a living, breathing person, but a living, breathing person that you want to strangle".[50] TheTelegraph wrote: "Never has one actor so completely inhabited a sitcom character. We believe Partridge is real, from his side-parted hair down to his tasseled sports-casual loafers."[68]
In 2014, theGuardian writer Stuart Heritage described Partridge as "one of the greatest and most beloved comic creations of the last few decades".[13] In a 2001 poll byChannel 4, Partridge was voted seventh in their list of the100 Greatest TV Characters.[69] In a 2017 poll of over 100 comedians, Partridge was voted best TV comedy character and Coogan best male comedy actor, and a scene fromI'm Alan Partridge in which Partridge goes to the home of an obsessive fan was voted best comedy scene.[70] In 2021,Rolling Stone namedI'm Alan Partridge the 52nd-greatest sitcom, writing that it had taken Partridge "from a parody of celebrity-presenter smarm to one of the greatest Britcom characters ever".[71] In 2022, theGuardian journalist Michael Hogan selected Partridge as Coogan's greatest TV role, writing that he had "painstakingly fleshed him out from a catchphrase-spouting caricature to a layered creation of subtle pathos [and] one of our most enduring and beloved comic characters".[72] In 2024, theGuardian namedKnowing Me, Knowing Yule one of the greatest Christmas TV specials.[73]
TheTelegraph credited Partridge with influencingcringe comedies such asThe Inbetweeners,Nighty Night andPeep Show.[68] According toDen of Geek, he has so influenced British culture that "Partridgisms" have become everyday vernacular.[12]Monkey Tennis, one of his desperate television proposals, has become shorthand for absurd television concepts.[74][75][76] Another,Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank, was used by the hostel booking site Hostelworld as the basis of a 2015 television advert with the boxerChris Eubank.[77] In 2020, Coogan said that many of Partridge's inane ideas had since become real programmes, making satire more difficult.[14]
Partridge has become associated with the city ofNorwich.[78] An art exhibition inspired by Partridge opened in Norwich in July 2015.[79] In September 2020, an unofficial statue of Partridge created by sculptors in the film industry was temporarily erected outside theForum in Norwich; Partridge's official Twitter account released a statement endorsing the statue.[78] In October 2021, a fan convention at theMercure Norwich Hotel was attended by more than 250 people.[80] "Accidental Partridge", an unofficialTwitter account which collects quotes reminiscent of Partridge's speech from real media figures, had attracted 144,000 followers by May 2014.[81][59] In August 2024,Lynn Faces, a play inspired by Partridge's assistant, Lynn, opened at theNew Diorama Theatre in London.[82]
