Alan Partridge makes his big screen debut in Alpha Papa this week, so I was only too delighted to sit down with Steve Coogan to talk all things Partridge.

There are some interviews that remind you why you want to do what you do, and this was most definitely one of them. Mr Coogan was just as funny as I expected him to be, and an absolute gent to boot.

We had great banter both on and off camera talking all things Partridge, from his Irish prejudices to Steve’s real life Irish connections. Plus, he filled me in on what’s happening with that long anticipated second Trip with Rob Brydon.
