Press
Alan Partridge is the perfect face of Brexit Britain
The result is a bit like BBC Sounds: something has gone slightly wrong on the way. I love Partridge, and always will. I'd rather have him around than not.
Rachel Cooke, The New Statesman, 4th March 2019Review: This Time with Alan Partridge
This Partridge was only lukewarm as I said at the top, whereas I always prefer mine steaming hot.
Telly Binge, 1st March 2019For once the host really was painfully unfunny
Whereas the likes of I'm Alan Partridge, The Day Today, and Mid Morning Matters were gently subversive, there was something horribly cosy about planting him in a genre like The One Show. As parodies go, you could tell This Time with Alan Partridge was not nearly savage enough because it could easily have been screened at 7pm like the programme it was supposedly satirising, not two and a half hours later.
Jim Shelley, Daily Mail, 26th February 2019This Time With Alan Partridge review
Not big, not clever, but funny as f***.
Keith Watson, Metro, 26th February 2019This Time with Alan Partridge review
Steve Coogan and the show's writers, Neil and Rob Gibbons, have summoned up another perfect reimagining of 'the Partridge'
Chris Bennion, The Times, 26th February 2019A sublimely excruciating return for Alan Partridge
This Time is a terrific title for the BBC-comeback show of Steve Coogan's magnificent comic creation, Alan Partridge. Gently mocking the sort of meaningless names given to "magazine" shows on telly, it also reeks of that most Partridgean of qualities: desperation.
Mark Monahan, The Telegraph, 26th February 2019Fans review the return of Alan Partridge
Can Alan still cut it in 2019, or did he fluck it up? Here are your verdicts on This Time With Alan Partridge.
The Guardian, 26th February 2019Review: 'This Time with Alan Partridge' is a triumph
Even when Alan's keeping his mouth shut, there are plenty of laughs to be had from his forced smiles and the look of absolute terror in his eyes at being on live TV. Not to mention the silent fury on his face when his co-host steals a joke he said off-air.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 26th February 2019Alan Partridge writers on This Time
Twin brothers Neil and Rob Gibbons speak to Ed Cumming about plunging the legendary Norwich presenter into the woke waters of 2019 broadcasting.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 25th February 2019Alan Partridge: Time in his home county of Norfolk
Alan Partridge, one of Norfolk's most famous sons, is returning to the BBC.
BBC, 25th February 2019Felicity Montagu on This Time with Alan Partridge
The broadcaster is back at the BBC - and so is his faithful PA.
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 25th February 2019Norfolk's notorious broadcaster is back on primetime TV, standing in as guest presenter on BBC One magazine show This Time. Little do the showrunners know how much damage one Partridge can do. Cue "erotic hand-washing" and a cringe-inducing interview with a "hacktivist".
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 25th February 2019Alan Partridge sends hilarious email to all BBC staff
"I ask every one of this email's 20,000+ recipients to tune in tonight on BBC1"
Kimberley Bond, Radio Times, 25th February 2019This Time with Alan Partridge, episode 1, review
Fears for the future of Alan Gordon Partridge, may, once again, be allayed.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 25th February 2019This Time with Alan Partridge, review
Instead of retreading Partridge's greatest hits this showed the great man aware that this stint on the BBC may be his last chance.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 25th February 2019This Time With Alan Partridge review
The monkey tennis-pitcher is back - and now he's taking on do-badder hacktivists. After half an hour in his appalling company, you'll be limp from laughter, loathing, panic and despair/
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 25th February 2019Review: This Time with Alan Partridge
A man out of time?
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 25th February 2019This Time With Alan Partridge episode 1 review
Guess who's back in the big time? Alan Partridge returns to the BBC, and we're tremendously excited by all this...
Simon Reynolds, Den Of Geek, 25th February 2019I talk This Time with Alan Partridge
Jurassic Park! Alan Partridge has finally made his return to the BBC, 25 years since he last hosted a show for the broadcaster. But was it the glorious return we all so desperately wanted it to be?
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 25th February 2019Alan Partridge review - 'lame'
Steve Coogan's lame Alan Partridge only serves to prove that Piers Morgan is beyond parody.
Ally Ross, The Sun, 25th February 2019This Time With Alan Partridge review
To see Alan back on tv, and the BBC at that, is a real joy but it's superseded by the fact that he's better than ever.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 25th February 2019This Time with Alan Partridge first-look review
If you've never seen Steve Coogan's comic creation before, sit back and enjoy The One Show parody. But if you're a Partridge fan, This Time is everything you've been waiting for and more.
Tim Glanfield, Radio Times, 24th February 2019
