Curiosidades
The film features a joke reference to an ex-drummer of the notoriously "uncool" 1980s rock band Marillion. The band were made aware of this and members were invited to the Leicester Square premiere of the film. The band's original drummer, Mick Pointer, was fired after their first album due to his limited technical abilities and they had a total of five drummers in the space of a year between their first two albums. The film does not make clear which of these drummers the character is supposed to be. The band were quoted: "We know Marillion are seen as 'uncool' but we were delighted to be a part of it."

Pifias
Tasing someone causes all the muscles in their body to contract, therefore tasing someone with their finger on the trigger of a loaded weapon would cause them to involuntarily fire it.

Citas
Alan Partridge: You can keep Jesus Christ. That was Neil Diamond... truly the 'King of the Jews'.

Like it? I loved it!

First things first... I hear, for some people, Alan Partridge is the epitome of irritating. I've heard him described as one of the most hated TV characters of all time. However, with only this movie for reference, I have to say I strongly disagree. True, he is a bit full of himself and has a tendency to say inappropriate things... but who doesn't? He's certainly FAR more appealing than the 'young and hip' brigade that want to fire him after they've taken over his Norwich radio station. Was his persona here toned down from his TV shows? I haven't a clue... he just comes across as a slightly dotty, but ultimately charming middle aged bloke.

There's are lots of little laughs everywhere, and Steve Coogan is a master of understated wit. Keep your ear trained for some of the best gags. Colm Meaney also makes an impact as the Irish DJ, who must be the most non-threatening hostage taker in history. But being such a fan of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, it's hard to imagine him as anything but the bumbling Miles O'Brien. Oh well, that's my problem. Another laudable aspect is the hearkening back to the old ways of telecasting: when you could say stuff on the airways, without every word being scanned by a committee. AND you could play music that wasn't on the 'approved' list.

Hi, Al? My request is The Chicken Song by Spitting Image. Go on, fire it up. 7/10
