About this deal

Journalist, presenter, broadcaster, husband, father, vigorous all-rounder – Alan Partridge – a man with a fascinating past and an amazing future. Gregarious and popular, yet Alan’s never happier than when relaxing in his own five-bedroom, south-built house with three acres of land and access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma? Hoad, Phil (6 February 2023). " 'I did my climactic speech – then took half an E': Steve Coogan on making 24 Hour Party People". The Guardian. ISSN 0261-3077 . Retrieved 6 February 2023. Coogan and co-writers Rob and Neil Gibbons really hit the mark with Nomad. Terrible adjectives and ridiculous metaphors. Clumsy use of grammar Awkward sentence formation. Overblown vocabulary. Its all here. And its all hilarious. Hooton, Christopher (29 May 2014). "Accidental Partridge: TalkSport's Sam Matterface drops textbook Alan-ism on-air". The Independent . Retrieved 14 September 2015. Alan Partridge has decided to honour the memory of his late father by undertaking a walk "in the footsteps" of his father. This walk is in no way motivated by the possibility of a TV series or any other career boosting publicity. No way, no how.

And so ends the surprisingly tasty sandwich formed by Alan Partridge's autobiographies and the brutal wartime novel that is Captain Corelli's Mandolin. The radio presenter stands solemnly either side of his charge - are those tears? - yes, I think he might be crying. [1] Partridge holds right-wing views. He is a reader of the right-wing newspaper the Daily Mail, and supported Brexit in line with the Daily Mail position. [53] Coogan, who is left-wing, [42] described Partridge as a Little Englander, with a "myopic, slightly philistine mentality". [52] Coogan felt the humour came from Partridge's misjudgement, rather than in a celebration of bigotry: "I don't want to add to the sum total of human misery. I want to point out things where we can improve our behaviour, myself included." [2] He aimed to use humour to hold privileged and powerful people accountable. [2]Twenty-five years years after making his debut on Radio 4’s On The Hour, Alan Partridge is the comedy gift that keeps on giving. He’s a grandfather now, we learn in passing from his new book Nomad, but still as petty, immature and deluded as ever. Alan Partridge 'writes' second autobiography". BBC News. 16 April 2015 . Retrieved 14 September 2015. Our walks are as unique as we are—from the pert strut of a Strictly Come Dancer to the no-nonsense galumph of a Tory lady politician. If you like the following you'll like the book; if you don't, or find it in bad taste, this book's not for you. If you don't know, Alan Partridge, you probably wouldn't have a clue what is going on, though. I can't praise this book enough, and the writing is outstanding.
