I'm Alan Partridge 10.00pm BBC2
Alan Partridge, eh - you don't know whether to hug him or to club him over the head. Misunderstood, naive genius or bullying, bigoted, racist, sexist, naff, styleless, clueless, laughable fool? Probably the latter.
This week, Alan's the only guest at the Linton Travel Tavern and to while away the hours he takes to making his own entertainment - and having seen the entertainment he makes for the viewing/listening public, that's a worry. Naturally, he dreams up more programme ideas, fiddles with a Corby trouser press, then takes a stroll down the M11. His life may be in danger. Hey-ho.
