Speaking to Radio 2, Coogan revealed that This Time with Alan Partridge will be returning to BBC One for a second series.

"There’ll be another series of This Time in the next 12 months," he told breakfast show host Zoe Ball.

The show, which aired its first series in early 2019, saw Partridge step in as co-host for the magazine show This Time, much to the chagrin of fellow presenter Jennie Gresham (Susannah Fielding).
