Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013)
Country: GB/FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 90m
Director: Declan Lowney
Cast: Steve Coogan, Colm Meaney, Tim Key, Sean Pertwee, Nigel Lindsay, Felicity Montagu
Synopsis:
A large media company arrives in town to take over Alan Partridge's North Norfolk Digital radio station, and he contrives to place his erstwhile sidekick, Pat Farrell, in the line of redundancy fire. However, he soon finds himself cast as principal negotiator when the latter goes berserk and holds the station employees hostage.
Review:
Quite uproarious comedy, which does not betray the roots of its character and still offers a truthful picture of its Norfolk locations. The television show's own bounds of decency are of course gleefully breached, and the main character's contemptibility will be more or less exasperating according to taste.
