"We will see Alan unpack what is missing in his life, explore why the nation is in such a funk, and find out what it might take to keep a person funk-free."
Commenting in a manner only Partridge truly can, his statement to mark the beginning of filming read: "I'm delighted to follow The Daily Mail's exclusive coverage of filming and their gallery of paparazzi-style images with my own press release more or less confirming the details they've announced. All best, Alan."

Celebrating the character's return, BBC director of comedy commissioning Jon Petrie shared: "Steve Coogan and Neil & Rob Gibbons have done it again.

"This series will firmly cement Alan Partridge as a national treasure."
