Veteran broadcaster Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) is now working as a midmorning DJ at North Norfolk Digital but when the station is taken over by a new media conglomerate it sets in motion a hilarious chain of events which see Alan having to work with the police to defuse a potentially violent siege. Will Alan talk round disgruntled colleague Pat Farrell (Colm Meaney)? Will there be shots fired in anger? Will Alan become a public hero or simply another footnote in the history of broadcasting? Or will Norfolk's last hope prove to be Alpha Papa in an action comedy of colossal velocity. (StudioCanal)

Yeah, this is a nice, funny bite-sized piece that can brighten up your afternoon or evening. You won't be rolling on the floor laughing, but there are scenes that will make you chuckle. British actors simply have something special about them, you have to give them that. I like Steve Coogan more and more... if only he didn't overact so much sometimes. Even though it's not exactly brilliant, the scene with the pants, or rather without them, just killed me.
