Story
Born and bred in Dundee, Servant sees himself as a people's champion. His extraordinary self-belief stems largely from his dominant position in Dundee's notorious Cheeseburger Wars of the early 1980s - a period of riotous appreciation for the traditional American snack that caused madness on the streets and lined Servant's pockets. He continued his Midas touch in the 1990s by running what he often claims to have been the 'largest window cleaning round in Western Europe'.

In Alan Partridge: Nomad, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance. Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes not a man (because he was one to start off with) but a better, more inspiring example of a man.

Great content, mediocre storyteller
As much as I love Jonathan Watson as Frank, he doesn't give this book the panache or pizzazz that either Cameron Stewart gave the original three books or that Brian Cox gives the character in the BBC media.
Other than that, the content of the book is hilarious, and gave me a few belly laughs, but the impact would have been greater if Watson's delivery had been better or more enthusiastic throughout, as opposed to reading the material instead of engaging with it and becoming Bob.
Cameron Stewart would have been a better choice.
