Mid Morning Matters is returning to our screens for a new series later this month, and as these sneak peek clips can confirm, Alan is on flying form.

Alongside sidekick Simon (Tim Key), Alan – played by Steve Coogan – is ready to liven up the airwaves for the residents of Norfolk, including asking the age old question – who, dead or alive, would you invite to your dream dinner party?

For Partridge, it's a pretty unique guestlist: "Jesus Christ, Margaret Thatcher, Dennis Thatcher, Carol Thatcher and Mark Thatcher."

But one caller has much more ominous plans behind his dinner party line-up.

Asking a host of already-dead people like Attila the Hun, James Dean and Winston Churchill alongside Noel Edmonds to Hampton Court Palace, Nathaniel wanted to blow up his party guests.

With Alan noting that he had invited mostly dead people, the caller replied: "Noel Edmonds isn't. He's still very much at large."

Sorry, Noel.

Mid Morning Matters will be returning to our screens on Sky Atlantic and Sky Box Sets on February 16.

The show started as a YouTube series in partnership with Foster's, but a full series reached TV in 2012.

North Norfolk Digital last popped up in 2013's movie Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
