First Teaser Trailer for ALAN PARTRIDGE: ALPHA PAPA Starring Steve Coogan

Studio Canal and BBC Films have released the first teaser trailer for writer/director Armando Iannucci’s (In the Loop) upcoming comedy Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.  The film is a feature adaptation of the popular BBC TV series and radio character Alan Partridge, portrayed by Steve Coogan.  Patridge is a bit of a parody of sports commentators and talk show hosts, as the character is himself a radio host and television presenter on I’m Alan Partridge.  I’m quite unfamiliar with Partridge, but this teaser trailer is funny enough and I assume fans of the character will be pleased to see that the movie is finally coming to fruition.  As a fan of Iannuci’s In the Loop and his HBO series Veep, I look forward to seeing more of Alpha Papa

Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa opens in the UK on August 7th.
