TRAILER: 'Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge'

Steve Coogan has finally revived his signature character, pompous radio/TV personality Alan Partridge, for a series of webisodes called Mid Morning Matters. You can watch the two-minute trailer above, although it's just a visual tease set to maudlin piano music, and offers no actual comedy material (unless you split your sides over Alan's facial expressions). I find the trailer very disappointing, really, although I'm sure the webseries will be very funny. At the very least it'll fill a Partridge-sized gap until the long-long-awaited movie gets made.

Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge premieres 5 November at fostersfunny.co.uk.
