Steve Coogan's Alan Partridge makes his first appearance in a feature film.

Overall a pretty good/funny movie. Not the best but far from the worst. Worth a watch if you are bored

Alan was early 40's when he first started working in radio, now he's mid 50's and has seemingly settled into the notion of not returning to TV. Now that his radio station is being taken over, Alan refuses to care until it's apparent his job is on the line, and Alan immediately betrays the one DJ that really cares about his job and his listeners by throwing him under the bus. Alan keeps his job, and the fired DJ takes revenge by holding the whole station hostage. Alan manages to become the face of the hostage crisis, and his popularity (not to mention his ego) begin to rise again, which immediately leads to Alan screwing things up in his traditional manner. To follow Alan's career, start with "Knowing Me, Knowing You" which details the chat show that gets cancelled, "I'm Alan Partridge," which is the early days in radio, and this movie is the most recent. You don't have to have seen the previous entries to get this storyline, but it does help as characters from "I'm Alan Partridge" do show up.
