“Ah, ha!” Alan Partridge has been spotted filming in the Peak District village of Castleton. He stopped off for a bite to eat at the local bakery, Peveril where he was happy to rate his meal after taking a snap with the owner.
Peveril Bakery posted to its socials, writing: “If you haven’t seen already, we recently had the pleasure of welcoming the one and only Steve Coogan into our store and bakery! He ordered a large batch of egg and cress sandwiches for himself and his team, and he gave high praise for them!”
He was happy to share a few words about the egg mayonnaise sandwich he was made, and you can watch what he had to say below:
Alan Partridge, portrayed by Steve Coogan, is set to return in And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge. The six-part series follows the broadcaster as he settles back into life in Norfolk after a year working in Saudi Arabia.
Production house Baby Cow said that Alan would: “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.”
Alan Partridge said: “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.”
Jon Petrie, BBC director of comedy commissioning, said: “This look into the state of the nation (and Alan’s own psyche) through a unique lens – that of Alan Partridge – promises to further bolster the already iconic repertoire of the most legendary comedy character in the UK. This series will firmly cement Alan Partridge as a national treasure.”
A date for the airing of the new programme is yet to be announced.
