TV Show · Comedy

Mid Morning Matters offers an excruciatingly awkward window into the world of Alan Partridge, reconfirming why he is considered one of British comedy’s iconic characters. This second series sees the master at work as he broadcasts his daily radio show at the fictional North Norfolk Digital to literally hundreds of listeners. Whether reprimanding a celebrity chef for the use of fennel in a recipe, or making history by having a massage live on air, Alan never fails to push the boundaries of broadcasting and, more often than not, good taste.
