Alan Partridge Movie: Steve Coogan filming in Norwich
- Published
Steve Coogan has brought his comic creation Alan Partridge back to his fictional home of Norwich for the chat show host's first feature film.
The filming of one scene outside Norwich landmark The Forum for the £4m movie attracted a gathering of shoppers, passers-by and news cameramen.
Actors Colm Meaney and Steve Coogan were in the outside broadcast van for The Alan Partridge Movie, its working title.
The Radio Norwich van was slow-chased past The Forum by six police vehicles and an ambulance. Filming in Norwich expected to last until the weekend.
The film is due for release in August and is being made by Steve Coogan's production company Baby Cow Films.
At the weekend, the cast and crew were in the nearby seaside resort of Cromer filming scenes on the historic pier.
The film will see Coogan's comic creation attempt to "salvage his public career while negotiating a potentially violent turn of events".
The Alan Partridge Movie is being directed by Declan Lowney, whose credits include Father Ted.
