This award-winning mock talk show stars Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People, Coffee and Cigarettes and Around the World in 80 Days) as Alan Partridge, whose self-absorption is matched only by his bizarre fixation with ABBA. Week after week, Alan confronts an endless parade of C-list celebrities, many portrayed by co-writer Patrick Marber. This series marked the rise of Alan Patridge as a comic icon in the UK.
BBC Home Video has announced plans to release the entire run of
Knowing Me, Knowing You With Alan Partridge on
August 30. US audiences may not know who he is, but the Brits voted Alan Partridge #7 in a UK poll of top 100 TV characters of all time.
This 2 disc set will be priced at $29.98 US; no word on bonus features yet.
