I'm Alan Partridge

I’m Alan Partridge is a comedy show on the BBC starring Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, a former television presenter having trouble accepting the fact that his career is over and his life is in shambles. After a divorce from his wife Carol, he is living in the Linton Travel tavern, a cheap motel, with only the help of his faithful personal assistant, Lynn (Felicity Montagu). Alan is bumbling through his life, which is empty socially besides Lynn, doing a radio show in the dead of night, and making occasional corporate appearances for local businesses. Aside from being generally awkward, crude, embarrassing, and anything but suave, Alan often displays sexism, racism, homophobia, and bigotry without even realizing the gravity of his words. He is generally a selfish, socially challenged, and unsuccessful person, but his awkwardness and impropriety are plenty amusing. Alan is shown to occasionally fantasize about performing on a table in a rubber thong for people he wants to impress, but even in his mind can’t avoid being boring, also wearing a sweater and engaging in inane conversation.
