When did Alan Partridge last appear on television? Is the character still active?

Very much still active. Steve Coogan still does tours as Alan Partridge and there’s a gig from (iirc) this year available on Netflix called Stratagem.

In my opinion the most of the Partridge stuff since I’m Alan Partridge has been pretty poor. The one exception being the movie Alpha Pappa. But hardcore Partridge fans might still enjoy Stratagem.

The podcast thing is pretty good. From the oasthouse.

Agreed, actually I thought the movie was a bit weak too. Feels a bit like he’s playing a dumbed down caricature of the old AP… although the Mid Morning Matters series was pretty funny, maybe more because of the supporting characters

The original Mid morning matters was also pretty good. Tim Key is such a breath of fresh air in it and the constrained format is fun.

I found it had to get into This Time until I watched Welcome to the Places of my Life which is end-to-end hilarity.

I'm now fairly convinced that This Time is the greatest version of Partridge. It's his equivalent of "Diamond are Forever" (and no, he's not showing off!)

The books were good; especially I, Partridge. I thought Alpha Papa was missing some of the tragic magic which was present in I'm Alan Partridge.

I feel like the writing of the character isn’t what it used to be
