Edmonds put his feet up on the table and folded his arms, and for the next hour he roared with laughter at my nascent TV work. At one point he saw former Radio 1 DJ Mike Read walk past the door, and Edmonds invited him in, even though Read didn’t even work at the BBC any more and had moved on to Gold, or Classic or something – or one those other commercial stations with names that sound like a chocolate bar. Coogan said they chose the web format because "it was a bit underground, a low-key environment in which to test the character out again. And the response was so good, we realised there was more fuel in the tank."

However, by 1997 he was fired from the corporation for punching the then chief commissioning editor in the face with a stuffed partridge, and spent several years in the wilderness of commercial local radio, presenting the graveyard shift on Radio Norwich. In more recent years, following a successful autobiography, he has transformed himself into a chronicler of British life in documentaries and print. Alan Partridge was created for the 1991 BBC Radio 4 comedy programme On the Hour, a spoof of British current affairs broadcasting, as the show's hapless sports presenter.

I am a big fan of Alan Partridge and have enthusiastically followed his various appearances on radio, TV and cinema. Filming began with an incomplete script, and Coogan and the Gibbons brothers rewrote much of it on the set. The rushed production was difficult; Coogan and Iannucci disagreed on the script, morale was low, and there were problems with casting and funding. In his memoir, Coogan wrote that it was the hardest he had ever worked and the loneliest he had ever felt; however, he was proud of the finished film.
