Alan Partridge presents a Christmas edition of his chat show with a line-up of guests, a studio full of tinsel, and a strong sense of his own importance. What begins as a festive show soon turns into the worst day of his career, and it leads to one of the best-loved moments in British comedy. Steve Coogan is magnificent as Norwich's finest, and the awkward energy only gets better the longer it goes on. A Christmas cult classic for those who like their festive cheer with a side of cringe.
