Radio DJ Alan Partridge experiences a difficult time when his radio station seems to be forced by a new media group. He puts everything in danger by chance.
The way Alan feels on the outside is the way a lot of people feel at their most vulnerable. And so we watch him and recognize him, and then cringe and wish him luck.
Steve Coogan, Colm Meaney and the rest of the cast are very good. The plot has enough interesting twists in it to keep the hostage situation from getting stale.
