  • This Time with Alan Partridge Series 1

    Due to the sudden illness of its regular host, BBC One show This Time welcomes Alan Partridge as its guest presenter. The show sees Alan handed a career lifeline - the chance to stand in as co-host on a nightly magazine show. This Time is a heady mix of consumer affairs, viewer interaction, highbrow interview and lightweight froth; very much the sweet spots for a man whose broadcasting style has been described as 'equidistant between chitchat and analysis'. Joining Alan in the studio is co-presenter Jennie Gresham and Tweet reader-outer Simon 'formerly Sidekick Simon' Denton.
