Would an Alan Partridge film equal cashback?

Steve Coogan and Armando Iannucci are rumoured to confirm a big screen transfer for Norwich's finest imminently. A fatally overdue move, or testimony to Alan's timelessness?

Chris Morris and the Roar of "Four Lions"

Perhaps one of the most unusual sights of the Sundance Film Festival was seeing British comedy legend Chris Morris walking around and doing Q&As after screenings of his "jihadi comedy" "Four Lions." Infamous in Britain for his shows "The Day Today" (which helped launch the career of Steve Coogan) and "Brass Eye," Morris is generally regarded as something of a recluse, and rarely gives interviews.

Q&A: Steve Coogan

Steve Coogan: "What makes me unhappy is the fact that war criminals are never on the winning side."

Rosanna Greenstreet, The Guardian, 16th January 2010

This could possibly be the most deranged variety show you'll ever see, the only place on earth where you can watch Christopher Biggins pretending to be Boris Johnson, and Jerry Hall impersonating Katie Price. If that doesn't draw you in, how about Joe Pasquale as Lady Ga-Ga? Or Ulrika Jonsson as David Beckham? No? Surely Vanessa Feltz masquerading as James May is irresistible. As is Eamonn Holmes as Elvis Presley. And David Gest as Elton John. Les Dennis as Gary Barlow... The list goes on, and just gets odder. The All Star Impressions Show could be completely awful or it could be enjoyably barmy. It certainly has a very good pedigree, being co-produced by Steve Coogan's and Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's production companies. And it has a certain surreal gloss that could be quite winning. Harry Hill will make a guest appearance, though we don't know whether he will reprise the Morrissey impression that won him Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes all those years ago.

The Steve Coogan Collection

Steve Coogan made his first real impression on U.S. audiences in the 2002 biopic 24 Hour Party People, playing real-life TV presenter and music mogul Tony Wilson, though few Americans realized at the time that this was just the latest in a string of Coogan performances that examined the quirks, insecurities, and arrogance of television personalities. The staggering 13-disc DVD box set The Steve Coogan Collection contains most of Coogan's major BBC projects-from the decade-spanning Alan Partridge series to the short-lived The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon-and while the shows vary in style and quality, they all offer variations on one question. How do people behave in the public eye, and how they behave in private?

Flight Of The Conchords's star Rhys Darby anchors tonight's comedy test-out pilot. He's Dermot, a not so amazing magician trying to get his life on track by checking himself into a rehab clinic after screwing up a hypnotising trick. he has a rubbish catchphrase and is as uncool as he is un-PC - qualities that bring to mind Alan Partridge's spell holed up in a Linton Travel Tavern in I'm Alan Partridge. It worked for Steve Coogan: will it work for Darby?
