Description
A box set containing the entire first series chronicling former chat show star Alan Partridge's (Steve Coogan) attempts to rebuild his career after assaulting the BBC's Chief Commissioning editor with a frozen turkey. 'A Room With An Alan' finds him working as an early morning DJ on Norwich Radio and living at Linton Travel Tavern. That could all change, however, when Alan has a power lunch opportunity to put forward his ideas for a new series.
In 'Alan Attraction', Alan seizes the chance for a Valentine's Day liaison with his Peartree Productions company receptionist. 'Watership Alan' sees Alan in deep water when he appears in a promotional film for a boating company after offending Norwich's entire farming community live on air. 'Basic Alan' sees Alan attempting to relax by strolling along the M11 when the Travel Tavern closes for refurbishment.
In 'To Kill a Mocking Alan', Alan meets his psychotic number one fan after hosting an afternoon of chat at the Tavern. 'Towering Alan' sees Alan finally getting his chance of a comeback when the BBC's Chief Commissioning Editor dies in tragic circumstances.
