I'm Alan Partridge is the funniest show of the last five years, not one joke misses the mark. Shot in spoof documentary style, the show follows fallen TV star (now Radio Norwich's star personality) in his day-to-day quest to get a second chance. The reason this show works is because of the stupidity of Alan, a racist, bigoted, closet bi-sexual who just doesn't know when to shut up. He's just so tactless ("You sound like the girl form the Exorcist" he says to a producer who has no vocal cords). In print I'm sure the show sounds stupid and offensive, and in a way it is, but I'm Alan Partridge is endlessly funny, witty and inventive, and if you get a chance to see it then do so... Fast. I really hope Steve Coogan gets picked up by the US; he has the potential to be the next Peter Sellers.
