The Anonymous Widower

Alan Partridge

I went to see the new Alan Partridge film at the Barbican last night.

My late wife was a fan of the original Alan Partridge television shows and she would have found last night’s film funny. I can remember seeing Cock and Bull Story with her in Cambridge, which we both enjoyed immensely.

Especially, as a lot of the film was set in Norwich, a town she knew well, as she’d practised as a barrister in the city on and off for more than thirty years.

So, although, I enjoyed the film and will give it four out of five, as both The Times and Guardian did, I found the film slightly sad. Especially, as I watched it alone.

If say the film had been set in say Bedford, Shrewsbury or Stoke, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
