Fans of the fictional radio and television presenter Alan Partridge lined Sheringham High Street today (Wednesday) to catch a glimpse of their comedy hero.
Filming for the Alan Partridge movie continued and involved the Radio Norwich van being pursued by police cars and blue flashing lights.
Actor Steve Coogan, who plays the love him or loathe him character, sat in the back of the radio van while another character held a gun in his direction.
Nearly 50 extras from Sheringham were used and they held banners which included messages Day Off the Partridge and Go Alan.
Lifelong fan Simone Harper, 40, was in the crowd and said it was “brilliant” the movie was filmed in north Norfolk.
Filming continues around Norwich Market Place tomorrow and Friday.

Could this just be another load of old rubbish, just what happened to the art of film making?

"Lifelong fan Simone Harper, 40," So she is 40 & has been lifelong fan of a fictional character created for the BBC Radio 4 show On the Hour which ran between 1991 & 1992!!!!!!!! Clever maths that.
