British Comedy Guide, 13th January 2020Alan Partridge is at his best when he's in the doldrums - living in a Travel Tavern, binging on Toblerone, networking at a funeral. For almost three decades, we had watched Britain's least in-demand broadcaster fall further and further from grace - until, that is, he landed an unexpected guest-hosting gig on This Time. Since when did glossy BBC magazine shows start recruiting from North Norfolk Digital? Not only did Alan's appointment make frustratingly little sense, his freedom to interrupt the studied blandness of teatime TV with bombastic VTs failed to ring true. Nerdy rationality aside, something else was awry with Partridge 9.0 - namely, the fact that he was flying high. Despite his endless gaffes, he suddenly had status, and the hubris-fuelled nightmare that had hitherto been his career was abruptly ended. Of course, you cringed for him, but it turns out it's hard to feel affection for a Partridge on the up. Thankfully, judging by the closing episode's cliffhanger, Norwich's finest seems to have blown his chance at the big time once again.
