Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in December, it has been announced.

Fans can get their hands on the film on December 2, according to Baby Cow Productions.

The company revealed the date on Twitter along with a pre-order link to the Amazon site.

Steve Coogan recently revealed some of the rejected ideas for Alpha Papa, which revolved around a siege at Partridge’s radio station.


He told Yahoo Movies!: ‘[We had] Alan accidentally rescuing a Saudi Prince who fell over, and Alan helped him up and for some reason was seen as saving his life.



‘Then he’s invited over to this Arabic country where he finds he’s befriended… you know the film The Last King Of Scotland?

‘We thought it would be funny if Alan became friends with a brutal dictator. And Alan’s there as [he’s] murdering people… but Alan’s too scared to point out that perhaps he shouldn’t murder people.

‘But then we thought that’s too silly, that’s too outlandish.’
