I'm Alan Partridge/Characters

I'm Alan Partridge

Alan Partridge

Played By: Steve Coogan

• Ambiguously Gay: Alan’s sexuality is a topic of much contention. He tries to act open-minded while also displaying homophobic tendencies.
• Bad Boss
• The Bully
• Bullying a Dragon
• Catch Phrase: A-ha!
• Feigning Intelligence: And not convincingly.
• Incredibly Lame Pun: He’s fond of these.
• Jaded Washout
• Jerkass
• Unreliable Narrator: This is particularly strong in his autobiography, I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan. He goes off-topic, forgets his initial points, always assumes people are out to get him, boasts about mistakes he doesn’t realize he’s made and outright lies about situations the reader knows about first-hand.
