One of the most promising details listed on the imdb page is the following:
Peter Baynham is writing it!

[Josh]

Not to rain on your parade but I did notice this quote from an article about Neil and Rob Gibbons who co-wrote "Mid-Morning Matters"; I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan; the two recent Sky specials; and "Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa":

Iannucci is co-writing the movie, while "I'm Alan Partridge" co-writer Peter Baynham is less intimately involved. (Rob: "The problem with Pete is he's too good and too successful. He's in Hollywood.")

Like T*m, I'm not nearly as hard on "I'm Alan Partridge" season two as that article, but I enjoyed everything Alan Partridge the Gibbonses have touched thus far.



"A Partridge pilgrimage. A Partrimage. A Pilgrimartridge. A Partrimiligrimage"

Armando Iannucci is also releasing unused bits of Alan Partridge dialogue (compiled in a 200-page .doc that he's been adding to over the past 20 years) daily on his Twitter feed using the hashtag #unseenalan.

Like T*m, I'm not nearly as hard on "I'm Alan Partridge" season two as that article, but I enjoyed everything Alan Partridge the Gibbonses have touched thus far.

I was in the U.K. when season series two was initially broadcast, and I was confused then by the reception it got. I think it's every bit as good as the first series, but was a victim of 1) the Brits' tendency for vicious backlash and 2) the fact that it followed immediately on the heels of The Office (U.K.), which was much more naturalistic and caustic. I'm a bit surprised that its reputation hasn't been rehabilitated by now.

Well that's too bad. I love Peter Baynham and especially his stuff with Chris Morris on the radio.

So I thought he would have another go at something other than animation movies and Sacha Baron Cohen movies...

Ps: I also thought that the second season was totally up to snuff. I'll thoroughly enjoy the movie either way.

I'm looking forward to this a lot more now than after seeing just the teaser trailer. Hopefully it gets a release here in the US.

Best of luck. Just getting over strep throat and very busy with work, the little one, and a pregnant wife. Enjoying the respite provided by the FOT Forum.
