"Easter Eggs"
BAFTA? Awards
1998 - Best Comedy
1998 - Best Comedy Performance - Steve Coogan
Finally, see what all the comic commotion is about
as Steve Coogan (Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull
Story) portrays the hilariously egotistical?and
trendsetting?Alan Partridge, "the precursor to
David Brent, the monstrously self-deluded worker
played by Ricky Gervais in The Office" (The New
York Times Magazine). Winner of three British
Comedy Awards as well as a BAFTA? Award, Alan
Partridge was also named the seventh Greatest TV
Character in television history in a recent UK poll!
Self-importance has never been so funny. Watch as
Alan goes to fiendish lengths to restore his career and feed his undying
need for fame and attention.
