Indeed there is, filming starts at the end of the year.
And thank god it won't be 'Alan goes to Hollywood' or some tripe, it will be based in Norwich where he battles a large media conglomerate that takes over North Norfolk Digital (where Alan works).
I'm delighted they're not taking the lazy route by trying to appeal to the American audience (ala Mr. Bean). Will Alan work on the big screen? Its hard to tell. But if they merely added half an hour to last night's show, there's a ready made feature length film right there, and I for one would have been made up with that alone.
I will watch last night's program again later on, and like all Partridge shows, are always better on the 2nd, 3rd etc. viewings.

It picked up in the second half but the first half was poor.
Armando Iannucci's writing input was sorely missed .
How could you think that heavily edited scene in the swimming pool was poor?
I love the new writers, the Gibbons brothers. They wrote the vast majority of Alan's "autobiography", and that was 70,000 words and consistently hilarious. The Mid Morning Matters web-isodes were also excellent, and in my opinion, far superior to the 2nd series of I'm Alan Partridge (the 2002 one), which I found very disappointing at the time, but upon viewing them since for the umpteenth time, appreciate them much more now. However, that particular series was far and away his poorest output so far.0 -

After such a long break I expected it to be alot funnier and fresher .
Coogan and his team had ample time to come up with a decent script.
It was funny in places but not a patch on his earlier work ,the first series of I'm Alan Partridge being his peak.
I'll watch it again and hopefully it will be better on second viewing ,his shows usually are .0 -
