Smell my Cheese !

Alan Partridge will return to TV from June with three new shows on Sky Atlantic.

Steve Coogan's comedy character is to appear in a re-edited six-part series of Mid Morning Matters, previously hosted online by Fosters' Funny, and two original hour-long commissions.

Alan Partridge: Welcome To The Places of My Life sees Alan tour his beloved Norfolk, visiting the places that have shaped the man he is today, while Alan Partridge on Open Books with Martin Bryce will feature Alan getting interviewed by an author (Robert Popper) about his literary works.

A second series of Mid Morning Matters will also be screened in 2013.

"Alan has been off the TV for too long but he is even more excited than me about his chance to have a second bite of the cherry," Coogan said. "Alan feels the second decade of the millennium is the right time."

Great to see Alan back but its a bit rich that Coogan has decided to go to Sky for new episodes after all his rants about Rupert Murdoch and the News of the World .

Jurassic Park! Spice World! Jackanackanory!!!

I've already seen the mid morning matters web episodes a million times (which are actually my favourite Partridge stuff yet) but brilliant news about the two one hour specials and the movie.

Glad to see Coogan has got his AP mojo back. The book was fantastic too. It definitely seems to be 'Year of the Alan'.

Yeah, all the recent stuff was brilliant. He really is Bouncing Back at the moment.

Can't wait for the next instalments
