Alan Partridge: Why, When, Where, How and Whom? review

A celebratory look at the 25-year career of Steve Coogan's creation revels in the pathos behind the sports-casual wear.

Emine Saner, The Guardian, 28th December 2017

Presumably, Alan Partridge is a fan of Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, who once said: "If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by." So it has proved for Alan, who, in 2018, will finally find himself back on the BBC after years in the wilderness. No doubt he'll be typically gracious about the whole thing. This doc explores one of the most three-dimensional comedy creations of all time.

Review - Alan Partridge: Why When Where How and Whom?

Steve Coogan's monstrous comic icon is all set to return to the BBC next year with a new Brexit-related show, so as a nice curtain-raiser this documentary about Alan Partridge works as both a laugh-packed clips show and a history of the spoof celebrity who put Norwich on the map.

Steve Coogan: I was conflicted about addressing Brexit

After deliberation, Remain voter Steve Coogan decided to address Brexit in his new series of Alan Partridge as "having a fool praise something is a far more powerful indictment than just criticising it".
