About this listen

Broadcaster, writer, philanthroper and one of the first public figures to suggest high-visibility clothing for people manning temporary car parks, the public Alan Partridge is a cherished institution.

But what of the unseen Alan?

For the first time, this famously private man welcomes us into his home and audibly deshrouds himself for a fascinating series of podcasts. Over the course of 18 generously durated episodes, Partridge grants us full and unfettered access to his off-screen life (within reason).

In exchange for a series of payments from Audible, he promises an access-all-areas pass to the nooks and crannies of his hinterland, to reveal a wiser, cleverer, more reflective Alan than many of his more vaunted peers have given him credit for. He then sends the resultant podcasts to Audible ensuring they meet the technical specifications laid down in the contract.

Forget the one-liners and slapstick of the Ianucci years; ten years of the Gibbons Bros cannon from MMM onwards is the stuff for real FOPS and gives us the real Alan: a broadcasting colossus sure, but it’s in these episodes that his tragedy is fully and most scorchingly well rendered. Here we find Alan literally and metaphorically trapped in a loft of memories and lost hopes; a prison of his own making. Ultimately, he’s just a guy in QSPC, but in the autumn of his life searching for the possibility of redemption. But is he beyond it?
