BBC One - Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa

A radio DJ ends up in a siege when a disgruntled colleague takes the staff hostage.

Comedy. Local radio DJ and former talk show presenter Alan Partridge ends up in a siege when a disgruntled colleague decides to take the staff hostage.

To save his own job, Alan gets radio colleague Pat laid off, but when the man returns to the relaunched station with a shotgun and a siege ensues, Alan is given the high-profile role of go-between, trying to appease both the hostage taker and armed police. So lots of people have Alan in their sights.

Hit big screen spin-off for the self-obsessed former TV 'personality', from BBC Films.
