The show is a situation comedy sketch consisting of two series' of six episodes. The series followed the titular Alan Partridge, a failed television presenter whose previous exploits had featured in thechat-show parody Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge, and who is now presenting a programme on local radio in Norwich.
When it began and how long for?
The original run for the series was from the 3rd November 1997 through to 16th December 2002. The first series released in 1997 and the second in 2002.
How many viewers it attracted?
The first of the 12 episodes attracted over 1 million viewers. Later, it emerges he wants to develop an Alan Partridge app "sometime next year" but – importantly – he doesn't want it to be some sort of news feed site because that would make for a boring interactive experience.
- Funded by the BBC
It has been well received by both critics and fans, and was nominated for three BAFTAs (winning two), two British Comedy Award (winning both), and a Royal Television Society award.
The show really depicts the idea that the internet is changing both TV production and TV viewing habits as you can see just the first episode attracted many people in itself which shows many people use the internet as a form of viewing television.
