Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word: All the Scripts: From Radio to TV. And Back
Join Alan Partridge on his incredible journey of discovery in Every Ruddy Word: All The Scripts.
Alan Partridge is our most remarkable broadcaster. From the giddy heights of his short-lived TV chat show to the crashing lows of six months in a travel tavern, he's done it all. Whether shooting dead one of his guests on air; being crushed under a dead cow; having incomplete sex with a woman he was supposed to be sacking or encountering 'mentalist' fans, Alan remains a formidable presence on Radio Norwich. And despite suffering a breakdown, Toblerone addiction and skewering his foot on a spike he always bounces back.
From Alan Partridge's first radio chat show to the pulping of his autobiography, Every Ruddy Word is the complete story of one of Britain's most-enduring comic heroes.
'Charts every line of Mr Blazer's plummeting career from radio to TV to corporate video presenter. A treat' THE TIMES
'The man is a monster' GUARDIAN
Alan Partridge presents 'Up With the Partridge' on Radio Norwich and a military-based game show on cable TV. He's appeared in such series as On the Hour, The Day Today, Knowing Me Knowing You and I'm Alan Partridge. He'll soon be living in a house built to his own specifications in the outskirts of Norwich. He has written a bestselling autobiography, I, Partridge, revamped his career in 2010 with the 12 part Foster's Funny series 'Mid Morning Matters', and 2013 sees the release of his long-awaited film Alpha Papa. He drives a Lexus.
(Scripts and extra material by Steve Coogan, Armando Ianucci, Peter Baynham and Patrick Marber)

Essential. Deserves every ruddy star!
Right here in one book you not have the radio and TV scripts for Knowing Me Knowing You, but you also have Alan's later appearances in I'm Alan Partridge.
That's like having the Old Testament and the New Testament together in one book. The Bible, if you will. Let's only hope that the creators release an update with some of Alan's recent scripts like Mid Morning Matters (Psalms) and the movie (probably Acts of the Apostles).

This was brilliant! Such a hilarious insight into the scripting of this wonderfully witty show. Every bit of dialogue is a knock-out. It is a very specific style of humour though, so this is a must-read for die-hard fans only! All you Partridge lovers out there - get stuck in!

Steve Coogan is a comedy genius. Serious brilliance. This show is an all time favorite. So good.

What makes this even more funny, is if you can imagine the look on Steve Coogan's face as he speaks. It's even got the Christmas Special, which I recommend you read last if you want to finish the book with his best.

The best TV programme ever and so the best TV scripts ever.
