Even the invites to the new Alan Partridge series are funny
The BBC is sending out invites to a screening of the new Alan Partridge series, This Time with Alan Partridge.
It starts in February and even the invites are funny, after one of them was shared by Alice Jones on Twitter.

Am so giddy I replied instantly and got a rebuke from Alan – 'I'm not reading emails! Talk to xxxx – she's the doer' 😍

And here’s what Steve Coogan has said about the new show.
“What we do is we have him trying to jump on the bandwagon and say, you know, he says ‘Hey! I’ve made mistakes, I’ve stood on the side of the sidewalk and slow hand-clapped while I watch a woman try to parallel park, you know, and I feel bad about that. And now if I saw a woman doing it now, I would shout instructions’.
“He’s sometimes ignorant and prejudiced but he tries to do the right thing. Early on we made him too predictably conservative a bit like shooting fish in a barrel – a caricature. Whereas now we do him as someone who realises that he’s got to get on message. He’s struggling to do the thing he’s supposed to.”
