TV Review - This Time with Alan Partidge

Starring Steve Coogan, Susannah Fielding

BBC1 9:30PM Monday

Staging the most remarkable comeback (both accidentally shooting dead a chat show guest and punching a BBC exec on live TV) Alan Partidge fills in for a sick host on an One Show copycat. As ever with Alan things do not go well, mispronouncing guests names, blundering through technical demonstrations and making legal action worthy statements. Steve Coogan as Alan is as always on the top of his game. One particular highlight (or low light depending on your point of view) is when Alan demonstrates how to wipe your bottom without using your hands. Alan is back and in that awful way we all love.
