This Time with Alan Partridge
BBC1

Despite a range of alarming toupees and being irredeemably white, ­middle-aged and toxically male, Alan Partridge is back on the television sofa. This Time with Alan Partridge, now into a second series, sees him still battling the baffling forces of modern orthodoxies, clever women (well, any women, and especially that one doing the make-up who might – or might not – be giving him the come-on) and political correctness (gone mad, obviously). For Steve Coogan’s great creation, locked forever in the light entertainment golf club of the 1980s, every decade throws down new eggshells to navigate in his argyle socks.
