Much-loved Norwich comedy character Alan Partridge, played by Steve Coogan, is returning for a new BBC series. 

And Did Those Feet... with Alan Partridge follows the broadcaster as he reintegrates into life in Britain after a year working in Saudi Arabia.

However, he soon realises that the happiness he thought he would feel at being back in Norwich just hasn’t materialised.

And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge is a Baby Cow production for BBC One and BBC iPlayer written by Steve Coogan, Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons.

Sarah Monteith, Baby Cow CEO, said: “We are delighted that Alan is back from Saudi Arabia with his appetite for broadcasting undiminished.

"ADTFWAP promises to be exactly the sort of uncompromising, state-of-the-nation piece that the country needs, almost as much as he does.”
