Steve Coogan is back in the guise of Alan Partridge, for a brand new BBC series that’s now officially started shooting. As revealed earlier this year, the show is a documentary series called And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge. It’s a six-part series, and filming got underway last week in the south of England.
The BBC has confirmed that the show is before the cameras, and released some fresh information about it too. Don’t read on if you don’t want to know anything about it, he says, stating the bleedin’ obvious.
When we meet Alan in And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge, he’s been out of the country for a year in Saudi Arabia, but is now returning to Norfolk. As per the official blurb, “the adjustment has left him with a deep sense of unease. Seeing himself and his homeland anew, there are pressing and frankly glaring questions he’d like to ask of himself and, on behalf of himself, of the country”.
The official synopsis for continues…
One of the first – if not the first – documentary to address the issue of mental wellness, the six-part series follows the revered and beloved broadcaster on a quest to understand what’s going on, with Britain’s minds and his own. It’s a show that makes a statement that will create shockwaves: “I’m Alan Partridge, and I’m not OK.” Partridge will write, present and produce the series. He will also direct the series.
We’re getting six half hour episodes of the programme, that Coogan has written with regular Partridge collaborations Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons. Neil and Rob Gibbons are also directing the new show. There’s a possibility we might get to see And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge this side of Christmas, but no transmission details have been announced. We’ll keep you posted as and when we hear more about And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge.
