4/5
That Coogan has kept Alan alive for so long is some achievement, but it is all the more impressive that he is still as funny as ever. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 9
3/5
Is the series funny? Often, yes. But it’s patchy. Or perhaps I’m being picky, because I’m Alan Partridge -- the one set in the Linton Travel Tavern -- was sitcom perfection, so everything else falls short by comparison. Go to Full Review Adam Bloodworth London Evening Standard Oct 9
4/5
Thankfully, the writing, by Coogan and writer-collaborators Neil and Rob Gibbons, justifies the provocation. Go to Full Review Ed Power Irish Times Oct 13
Rather than something high-concept or preachy, this is Partridge unfiltered and as turbocharged as a vintage Jaguar purring through the unpredestrianised sections of Norwich city centre. It’s aha-mazing to have him back. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Oct 9
The gag rate in the first episode is not going to break any records, but Coogan’s average day at the office remains far superior to that of most comic actors. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James B @RT37971926 Nov 22 Nobody does it better 😉 See more Paul S @RT90366827 Oct 17 Absolute genius, Steve Coogan is brilliant. Anyone that doesn't get this series will never be amused by genuine comedy and observation. Long may Partridge reindeer as the best comedy character on TV See more Richard C @RT81645758 Oct 10 What an absolute load of crap. Alan Partrage was mildly amusing when first came out, not funny since then. To make a mokumentry about mental illness is a new low. He makes a few silly faces which is supposed to be comedy!! We're paying our TV licence for this rubbish. See more Read all reviews
