Over the past decade, Steve Coogan has established himself as one of the most popular, charismatic and versatile comic actors working in Britain today. Described by The Mirror as "extremely funny” and “hugely entertaining” by The Observer, the figure for whom Coogan is best known, perhaps to the extent that his other work has been dwarfed by it, is Alan Partridge. Hence the show's title!
