Alan Partridge (2013) (original) (raw)

Occupying a career stasis-defining role as a mid-morning DJ on North Norfolk Digital Radio, Alan Partridge's hopes for one last shot at the big time suffer a severe setback when it emerges that his employers have been taken over by a giant media conglomerate.

Called in by the police to act as a hostage negotiator, can Britain's most famous Toblerone addict turn the tables and finally save the day?
