Friday night belongs to Alan Partridge as Steve Coogan’s iconic broadcaster makes his long-awaited return to BBC One. It’s Alan (Partridge) airs at 9.30pm, and marks the beginning of a brand new six-part mockumentary series. What begins as a professional homecoming quickly morphs into something deeper, as Alan embarks on an unlikely journey of self discovery. From Knowing Me, Knowing You to This Time with Alan Partridge, Coogan has consistently evolved the character to reflect modern obsessions. It’s rare that one character dominates a night’s television quite like Alan Partridge, but tonight feels like a genuine event for comedy fans.
