BBC Newsbeat has an interview with Steve Coogan and he’s hinting on bringing Alan Partridge back to television.

Kick some fucking ass. The king of Norfolk Nights has been greatly missed.

Below is an excerpt from the interview:

————————————-

Is there scope to do more with Alan Partridge for TV?

I have mixed feelings. I like doing other stuff.

It’s very gratifying to me when I get a good reaction to stuff which is different. I did a BBC series called Sunshine recently that got an incredible reaction.

And that’s gratifying to me because it’s something which is not what I’m generally known for.

The more that that happens, the more I get endorsements for other things, especially work in America.

The more I do that, the more likely I am to come back and do something with Alan because then it becomes something I do because I want to, not because I have to.

I’ve got plenty of ideas of what I might do with him but I’m keeping them on the back burner until I decide what I should do.

And also because he’s well liked I can’t just rush something out. If I was going to do something it would have to be properly thought through.
