Amazon.co.uk Review Ah-Ha! In 1995 Norwich's most famous son Alan Partridge made the transition from radio to TV with Knowing Me, Knowing You, a chat-show so wholly misunderstood that one clever-clog TV critic described it as "moribund". By way of rebuttal, just consider Alan's parade of fantastic guests, including a hypnotist who persuades Alan that he's an owl; a US pop diva with whom Alan shares a memorable Abba duet that happens to be in all the wrong keys for him; raunchy male dance-act Hot Pants; Cirque des Clowns, whose extreme violence upsets Alan; and, most exciting of all, Roger Moore (via mobile phone from a traffic jam on the Chiswick roundabout). Steve Coogan's creation fell on hard times later--as chronicled in the magnificent I'm Alan Partridge Series 1 and Series 2--but here he's revelling in his prime-time exposure with no thought of becoming "clinically sad" or gorging on Toblerone bars. Co-writers Armando Iannucci and Patrick Marber lovingly recreate everything that's fake and contrived about the whole chat-show genre: the shameless plugging, the recalcitrant celebs, the novelty acts and, most of all, the insufferably smug host oblivious to his own tediousness. Coogan's regular guests are ably played by some faces familiar from The Day Today: Rebecca Front, Doon MacKichan, David Schneider and Patrick Marber himself. Other game guest stars are John Thomson (as a naval officer also called Alan Partridge) and Minnie Driver (as a transsexual agony aunt), not forgetting Steve Brown as disconcertingly gay music director Glen Ponder. The high-water mark of Alan's career arrived with his Christmas special Knowing Me, Knowing Yule in which his own living room was lovingly recreated at Television Centre. Unfortunately, and despite the presence of Mick Hucknall, the new Chief Commissioning Editor of BBC TV, Tony Hayers, is deeply unimpressed with the show and gets punched in the face by Alan, who, it turns out, is handy with a turkey. On that bombshell, Alan's career took a downward turn.

Unemployed and recently dumped, Daniel spends his days eavesdropping on his roommate who works from home as a therapist. He soon develops an obsession with one of her clients, a ruggedly masculine divorcee with explosive anger issues.

Żywy portret trojga queerowych przyjaciół, którzy próbują odnaleźć się w wirze współczesnej polityki genderowej. Film płynnie przechodzi przez serię przeplatających się winiet – z Internetu do realu, z lumpeksu przez parkiet do bezpiecznego, inkluzywnego ciepła łaźni. Historie te utkane są ze szczerych rozmów i refleksji, ubranych w cięte dialogi oraz wewnętrzne monologi. Mozaika współczesnych spostrzeżeń, podaną w bezkompromisowym, queerowym dialekcie: »złośliwość, plotki, zabawa, wrażliwość, melancholia, poezja, ból«

Unethical Clinical Trials have been the silent killers for generations. It is everywhere at all times, just like the virus. One such trial has torn two lovers apart, a woman who had been a victim of misinformation and a man who overlooked the truth. Now, she is one of the 'wakers' in a ghost town called Orbit. They can never meet. Prolonged isolation and extended quarantines had subjected both of them to severe mental stress and anxiety. But, they still try to cope up with whatever they can, she sneaks in a phone to the washroom of the facility and video calls him. They both fear for each other. She must distract and stop him from 'blowing the whistle' to the world. And, he must tell the truth to save his girlfriend and all the 'wakers'.

Alan is handed a career lifeline - the chance to stand in as co-host on This Time, a weekday magazine show. But can he capitalise on the opportunity?

This feature documentary about education explores the mid-century state of learning in the classrooms of North America.

A young executive takes his own life, catapulting him into a journey through the afterlife and the darkest recesses of his own mind.

Devised, written, choreographed, performed and funded by Alan Partridge, Stratagem sees Alan not just treading the boards but pounding them, atop stages graced by such luminaries as Michael Ball, Jack Whitehall and Welsh rockers the Stereophonics.

We follow Alan as he sets off on a quest to understand his funk and to share what he learns with the nation. And if he ends up being seen as a mental-health champion for the middle-aged, who’s also a good fit to present other issues-led documentary strands, so be it. Over six episodes, Alan explores exactly half a dozen of the areas that play a part in keeping us funk-free, from home lives, to work life, to the importance of nature, to relationships, to pastimes, to a sixth topic he’s not worked out yet because he’s a proper journalist, not just a sausage machine knocking out content.
