“Jesus Christ. Margaret Thatcher. Denis Thatcher. Carol Thatcher. And… hmmm… Mark Thatcher.” Yes, Alan Partridge was back and listing his dream dinner party guests. Less of an eclectic line-up, more of a family kitchen supper with a couple of gatecrashers.

We rejoined Steve Coogan’s masterful comic creation for another delightfully low-key series of Mid-Morning Matters (Sky Atlantic), styled in the form of webcam footage of his North Norfolk Digital radio show. It might be shot in a poky broom cupboard but its scope was wide - from hymns to historic sex offences to a heated debate about fox hunting. Describing the Countryside Alliance as “what the National Trust would be if it grew a pair”. Partridge managed to upset both sides with typical lack of tact.

His fawning in the presence of the upper classes recalled Basil Fawlty, while his pretensions to be a serious playwright were pure Ernie Wise. I’ll be shuddering at the sex scene in his radio play for some time.
