The complete sixth series of the light-hearted BBC panel show hosted by Rob Brydon. Joined by team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell, Brydon presides as a range of celebrity guests attempt to detect truth amidst a mire of lies. Among the challenges on the show, each guest must read aloud a series of statements about themselves and attempt to bluff and double-bluff the opposition as they try to guess which of the statements are correct. Among the celebrities to appear in this series are Chris Tarrant, Clare Balding, Des O'Connor, Rhod Gilbert, Sarah Millican and Armando Iannucci.
Steve Coogan's legendary chat show host and broadcaster finally receives the big screen treatment in this comedy directed by Declan Lowney. Occupying a career stasis-defining role as a mid-morning DJ on North Norfolk Digital Radio, Alan Partridge (Coogan)'s hopes for one last shot at the big time suffer a severe setback when it emerges that his employers have been taken over by a giant media conglomerate. Alan soon finds himself back in the spotlight, however, when newly-sacked fellow DJ Pat Farrell (Colm Meaney) returns to the studio with a shotgun and begins taking hostages. Called in by the police to act as a hostage negotiator, can Britain's most famous Toblerone addict turn the tables and finally save the day?

The official script for the box-office smash movie, featuring every ruddy word (and stage direction) of Alan's seamless transformation from natural-born broadcaster into fully fledged and occasionally fully dressed hostage negotiator. Contains deleted scenes and an exclusive Foreword by Steve Coogan. With a television career behind him and a much-coveted breakfast slot in his spiritual home, regional digital radio, there was only one place left for Alan Partridge to turn: Hollywood! Or rather, an Anglo-French funded co-production for the big screen. Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa sees Alan face his biggest challenge since he spent six months in a travel tavern, and is almost certainly the first time he has handled a loaded gun since he was a prime-time BBC2 presenter. When his beloved income-source North Norfolk Digital is taken over by a faceless media conglomerate, Alan's inimitable instinct for self-preservation leads to a violent and bloody siege on the radio station by an unhinged, nay mentalist, DJ, and a hostage crisis for which there can be only one man with the chat to diffuse it ... Featuring a cast of old and new Partridge favourites, including Sidekick Simon, assistant Lynn and Michael the Geordie, Alpha Papa is proof that while the jury's out on whether you can keep a good man down, it's an outright fact that you can't keep a good regional broadcaster off the airwaves.
Tell, Mighty Wit, how the highest in forethought and, That tremendous plus, The Science, Saw off our panic and Globed vexation Until a drape of calmness furled around the earth And beckoned a new and greater normal into each life For which we give plenty gratitude and pay Willingly for the vict'ry triumph Merited by these wisest gods. Pandemonium is an epic mock-heroic poem, written in response to the pandemic with all the anger and wit that Armando Iannucci brings to his vision of contemporary events. It tells the story of how Orbis Rex, Young Matt and his Circle of Friends, Queen Dido and the blind Dom'nic did battle with 'a wet and withered bat' from Wuhan.
All six episodes from the fourth series of the award-winning BBC satirical political comedy drama written and directed by Armando Iannucci. In this series, world-weary Secretary of State for Social Affairs, Peter Mannion (Roger Allam), is none too enthusiastic about launching his Coalition partner Fergus (Geoffrey Streatfield)'s new 'Networked Nation' policy. Meanwhile, over in the opposition camp, attack-dog policy enforcer Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) continues his relentless quest to undermine/oust newly installed leader, Nicola Murray MP (Rebecca Front).
'This is no dusty relic, but instead something sparkling and modern' Armando Iannucci In a wildly eventful life, David Copperfield moves from the cruelty of his stepfather's care to the heights of success as a beloved and respected novelist. On his journey through Victorian society, he endures bitter treatment as a labourer, wins the approval of his formidable aunt, finds himself an education - and a career, falls in love, and expands his circle of acquaintance to include true, false and marvellously eccentric friends. Dickens's own favourite among his novels, The Personal History of David Copperfield is a classic of comedy and tragedy that never ceases to surprise and delight.
A collection of two Alan Partridge specials. In 'Welcome to the Places of My Life', former chat show star Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) takes viewers on a 'documentary' tour of the county that has shaped the life of this national icon - Norfolk. Showcasing such highlights as the Riverside Leisure Centre, the local dry ski slope, and the inspiring spaces of Norwich City Hall, Alan shares his thoughts on the sights and sounds that have come to mould the broadcasting legend. In 'Open Books with Martin Bryce', Alan talks to stand-in host Chris Beale (Robert Popper) about his latest autobiography 'I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan'. In a candid and wide-ranging interview, the North Norfolk Digital DJ discusses all aspects of his life, including his once all-consuming Toblerone addiction.
In THE AUDACITY OF HYPE, Armando Iannucci cuts straight to the heart of the insanity and sherbet-headed nonsense of modern life. THE AUDACITY OF HYPE brings together his views on diverse subjects, ranging from wickedly funny pen portraits of the sometimes loveable, usually despicable chumps who like to think of themselves as our political elite, and their bonkers schemes to save the world that are in fact likely to do us more harm than a pile of witches, to WMD, disaster movies, the pitfalls of 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here' and the high and mighty rhetoric of Obama, this is an absurdly entertaining and utterly indispensable collection from one of Britain's most brilliant satirists.
A celebration of music from the creator of Alan Partridge, The Thick of It, Veep and The Death of Stalin. All my days, I've felt pressurized by the anonymous Keepers of the Cool who tell us what we should be wearing this year, what digital boxsets we should bunker ourselves in to enjoy, what amazing app is the only one we should be shrieking emotions at our recently acquired friends with. Thankfully, I have the one consolation that if I don't quite fit into all of this, everyone else probably feels the same way. So, I say defiantly, I get more moved and excited by classical music than by any other musical genre. I believe that it is there for us all, inviting us to reach out and touch it. In Hear Me Out Armando Iannucci brilliantly conveys the joy of his musical exploration, each discovery suggesting a fresh direction of travel, another piece, another composer, another time.
