Mike Keegan, Daily Mail, 2nd December 2019Greg James snubs One Show because of Alan Partridge
The BBC Radio 1 DJ admitted Steve Coogan's iconic comedy character - a hapless TV presenter totally lacking in self awareness - was such a "p**s take" of the Beeb's tea time magazine show during his most recent series that he still can't bring himself to even accept a guest spot on the programme because now the lines are so blurred.
Female First, 28th October 2019Like a bizarro negative image of BBC Three's forthcoming fate, Greg James's sitcom short makes the transition from online-only to broadcast TV. Here, the Radio 1 presenter plays DJ Jake Cross, afforded an opportunity to dump his credible graveyard slot for a larger audience when the station's breakfast jock croaks. In theory, it seems the aim is two parts Larry Sanders to one part Partridge. In practice, with both script and performance about as stirring as a Magic FM daytime playlist, it's something best left off the air.
