Alan Partridge - Mid Morning Matters: DVD Review
Rating: M
Released by BBC and Roadshow
Hapless radio DJ and self professed chat show host, Alan Partridge returns in this UK web based TV series which started life as a series of fifteen minute sketches.
Partridge has always been a favourite character of many - a self obsessed, hapless and ignorant man, he's often hilariously funny without intending to be so. And it's thanks to Steve Coogan that he's become so popular - due to spot on comic timing and an excellent script, the show's as funny as it always was.
Essentially, Partridge is now in the world of digital radio - broadcasting to an area of rural England and using the web at the same time. But despite the leap in technology, he's still a cultural klutz, skirting around racist and sexist ideas, Partridge is an ideal caricature of the many local UK DJs who are self deluded.
In this 6 part series, he's joined by radio side kick Simon and potential crush Zoe - but he's still as eminently watchable as ever - even if you find yourself cringing at some of the things which come out of his mouth.
While the fact these have been spliced together from 15 minute web serials means there's occasionally a bit of disjointedness, I can guarantee you there are chuckles aplenty.
