Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word

All the Scripts: From Radio to TV. And Back

Summary

Join Alan Partridge on his incredible journey of discovery in Every Ruddy Word: All The Scripts.

Alan Partridge is our most remarkable broadcaster. From the giddy heights of his short-lived TV chat show to the crashing lows of six months in a travel tavern, he's done it all. Whether shooting dead one of his guests on air; being crushed under a dead cow; having incomplete sex with a woman he was supposed to be sacking or encountering 'mentalist' fans, Alan remains a formidable presence on Radio Norwich. And despite suffering a breakdown, Toblerone addiction and skewering his foot on a spike he always bounces back.

From Alan Partridge's first radio chat show to the pulping of his autobiography, Every Ruddy Word is the complete story of one of Britain's most-enduring comic heroes.
