Английская Википедия:I'm Alan Partridge
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox television I'm Alan Partridge is a British sitcom created by Steve Coogan, Peter Baynham and Armando Iannucci. Coogan stars as Alan Partridge, a tactless and inept broadcaster who has been left by his wife and dropped by the BBC.
Two series of six episodes each were broadcast five years apart. Series 1 was released in late 1997, while a second series followed in 2002,[1] with Partridge now living in a static caravan after recovering from an off-screen mental breakdown.[2][3] Iannucci said the writers used the sitcom as "a kind of social X-ray of male middle-aged Middle England".[1]
Supporting Coogan in the cast are Felicity Montagu as his faithful but timid personal assistant, Lynn Benfield; Simon Greenall as Geordie handyman Michael; and Phil Cornwell as Partridge's rival DJ Dave Clifton. Series 2 also featured Amelia Bullmore as Partridge's Ukrainian girlfriend Sonja. The show received critical acclaim and was a success amongst audiences, being nominated for three BAFTAs (winning two), two British Comedy Awards (winning both), and a Royal Television Society award. In a list drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted by industry professionals, I'm Alan Partridge was named the 38th-best British television series of all time.
Premise
Alan Partridge was created by Steve Coogan and the producer 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.[4] In 1992, Partridge hosted a spin-off Radio 4 spoof chat show, Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge.[5] On the Hour transferred to television as The Day Today in 1994,[4] followed by Knowing Me, Knowing You later that year.[6] The series ends with Partridge accidentally shooting a guest.[5]
I'm Alan Partridge follows Partridge after he has been left by his wife and dropped from the BBC. In the first series, he lives in a roadside hotel, presents a graveyard slot on local Norwich radio, and desperately pitches ideas for new television shows.[4] In the second series (2002),[4] Partridge lives in a static caravan with his new Ukrainian girlfriend after recovering from a mental breakdown.[7][8] By then he has moved to the late night "Norfolk Nights" slot and also hosts "Skirmish", a military-based general knowledge quiz show on digital cable channel UK Conquest, which Partridge says has "the largest audience share for a digital channel at that time of day in the Norfolk area".[9] The writers found the second series difficult to make, feeling it had been too long since the first and that expectations for sitcoms had changed.[10] Iannucci said the writers used I'm Alan Partridge as "a kind of social X-ray of male middle-aged Middle England".[4]
