Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge


After eight years of silence, Steve Coogan has resurrected his most enduring comic creation, the haplessly inept broadcaster Alan Partridge. But a-ha, as Partridge would inevitably say at this point, there’s a twist.

He isn’t returning in a TV series, but online in a dozen stand-alone 11-minute films, commissioned and sponsored by the lager brand Foster’s. The first became available to view at the weekend, with the others being unveiled on Foster’s website about once weekly.

The new films have been scripted by Coogan and his long-time collaborator Armando Iannucci, together with brothers Rob and Neil Gibbons. This represents a considerable coup for Foster’s, which is making significant inroads into the comedy market. This year, it funded the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, sponsored for more than two decades by Perrier.

Bob Dylan & the Band

Here is the DVD of Bob Dylan live at the Isle Of Wight in 1969. Remarkable footage, thought never to have existed, this DVD captures part of Dylan’s performance that day, as well as some other appearances that year beginning with Dylan’s spot on The Johnny Cash Show on May 1st, 1969, performing “I Threw It All Away”, “Living the Blues” and dueting with Cash on “Girl From the North Country”. Then comes the all-important Isle Of Wight footage. In 1969, the Isle of Wight pop festival was Bob Dylan’s festival. This amazing footage is all that we have of Dylan’s performance that day, and features the following tracks: The Weight (The Band), I Threw It All Away, Highway 61 Revisited, One Too Many Mornings, I Pity The Poor Immigrant, Minstrel Boy (cut). Rumor has it that this black and white footage was shot by a friend of John Lennon’s who sat between him and Yoko at the foot of the stage. Whether this is true or not, the picture and sound are remarkably good. The DVD continues with a handful of newsreels from the Isle Of Wight Festival, featuring still more footage of Dylan that day. The DVD rounds off with some footage of The Band live at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh in November 1970, shot in color for Dutch television: Time To Kill, The Weight, This Wheel’s On Fire and Up On Cripple Creek.
