- Alan Gordon Partridge is a comedy character portrayed by the English actor Steve Coogan. A parody of British television personalities, Partridge is a tactless and inept broadcaster with an inflated sense of celebrity. Since his debut in 1991, he has appeared in media including radio and television series, books, podcasts and a feature film. Partridge was created by Coogan and Armando Iannucci for the 1991 BBC Radio 4 comedy programme On the Hour, a spoof of British current affairs broadcasting, as the show's sports presenter. In 1992, Partridge hosted a spin-off Radio 4 spoof chat show, Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge. On the Hour transferred to television as The Day Today in 1994, followed by Knowing Me, Knowing You later that year. In 1997, Coogan starred as Partridge in a BBC sitcom, I'm Alan Partridge, written by Coogan, Iannucci and Peter Baynham, following Partridge's life in a roadside hotel working for a small radio station. It earned two BAFTAs and was followed by a second series in 2002. After a hiatus, Partridge returned in 2010 with a series of shorts, Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge, written with Rob and Neil Gibbons, who have cowritten every Partridge project since. Over the following years, Partridge expanded into other media, including the spoof memoir I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan (2011) and the feature film Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013). In 2019, Partridge returned to the BBC with This Time with Alan Partridge, a spoof of magazine shows such as The One Show, followed by an Audible podcast in 2020 and a touring show in 2022. Baynham said that while the writers used Partridge to expose bigotry, and that the humour came from his mistakes, they also wanted to create empathy. Critics have praised Partridge's complexity, realism and pathos. Vanity Fair called him a British national treasure and the Guardian described him as "one of the greatest and most beloved comic creations of the last few decades". Partridge is credited with influencing cringe comedies such as The Inbetweeners, Nighty Night and Peep Show. In a 2001 poll by Channel 4, Partridge was voted seventh in their list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters. (en)
- Alan Partridge ist eine fiktive Figur des englischen Schauspielers Steve Coogan. Diese Figur stellt einen unsensiblen und meist überforderten Moderator dar. Durch seine erste Radiosendung "On the Hour" 1991 wurde Alan Partridge so populär, dass Steve Coogan ihn mittlerweile in drei Fernsehserien, einem Kinofilm, mehreren Specials sowie in zahlreichen Auftritten für andere TV-Serien, Comedy-Shows und Festivals verkörpert hat.

- What annoys me the most, however, is people saying, "You're a bit like Alan, aren't you?" and then laughing hysterically. To which I reply, "Well, yes. Of course I am.'" They can't quite believe this admission. "But he's an idiot! Are you saying he's part of you?" As patiently as possible, I'll say, '"Yes, because part of me is an idiot!"' I have no problem showing all those imperfections. What liberates me and makes me stronger is utilising all that dysfunction. I really don't care. Especially as I get older. I just think to myself, "Put in all those negative things. Put in all the stuff that is unattractive, that clearly comes from somewhere, that must be part of me." (en)
