huwbutts Review of Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge

Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge (2010–2016)

Alan Partridge - like a funnier, more cringing David Brent

[9/10 · 15 December 2012]

I was never a fan of Coogan's character, and when he was big in the late 90s, I never really understood the excitement my friends showed for him. But, having watched Mid-Morning Matters, I can honestly say that it is incredibly clever, superbly-written and genuinely hilarious stuff. Coogan has implied in the past that he has been hard-done by, not getting the recognition he deserves; given the fact that Gervais has done so well after The Office, this is actually justified. If you enjoy a bit of cringe humour that will have you laughing very hard while groaning and peeking through your fingers, you can't get any better than this.
