I'm Alan Partridge, starring Steve Coogan, is often hailed as a British classic and has a spin-off in the works, but I struggled to make it past the first episode.

I’m Alan Partridge may have laid the groundwork for the likes of The Office’s David Brent and Michael Scott but he was certainly more of a prototype than the finished product.

Tickets for the Irish run of Dr. Strangelove, which is co-written by Iannucci and will see Steve Coogan play multiple roles, are on sale now.
