The newest Partridge

Warning: Spoilers
"Alan Partridge's Scissored Isle" is a 44-minute documentary short film from earlier this year. Most Brits (and many more) know Steve Coogan's trademark character Alan Partridge, a somewhat chaotic journalist, and this character already exists over 20 years now. Here we have Oscar nominee Coogan's most recent performance as the character and here he travels through Britain and interviews all kinds of people to see how he fits in with these and, of course, to inform the audience in this documentary spoof. I myself quite like Coogan, but i would not say I am the very greatest Alan Partridge fan, even if I don't mind the character at all. But it is respectable to see Coogan come up with new and interesting material for the same character for over two decades. I believe this one here is a decent watch for every Partridge fan and it's not necessary for me to say I recommend it or I don't as probably everybody who considers watching this has seen Coogan's Partridge in another project. But I give it a thumbs-up. Worth checking out. The jingle is the bomb once again.
