WHOOOOT! Filming has begun on the 6 x 30’ Baby Cow Productions series for TX in 2013. It has been commissioned by Lucy Lumsden, Head of Comedy for Sky, 'cause that was a hard decision to make.

Alan Partridge returned to our telly boxes in June with two specials for Sky Atlantic’s Comedy Mondays, Welcome To The Places of My Life and Alan Partridge On Open Books With Martin Bryce. He was welcomed back with open arms by critics and viewers alike, with Welcome To The Places of My Life becoming Sky Atlantic’s highest rating original commission to date - largely thanks to the phrase "flying aids." The programmes were followed by a special six part edition of the first series of Mid Morning Matters.

Naomi Gibney, Acting Director, Sky Atlantic, says "Alan Partridge has been a huge hit for Sky Atlantic, opening our Monday night comedy strand, and I’m delighted we can bring his talents exclusively to Sky customers."

Henry Normal, CEO, Baby Cow, added: "A second series of Mid Morning Matters direct for Sky Atlantic. Alan's fortunes have finally turned."
