The BBC has announced that filming has begun on Alan Partridge's new documentary series, And Did Those Feet... with Alan Partridge - "one of the first - if not the first - documentary to address the issue of mental wellness".
"Alan is settling into life back in Norfolk after a year working in Saudi Arabia, but the adjustment has left him with a deep sense of unease," says the BBC.
"Seeing himself and his homeland anew, there are pressing and frankly glaring questions he'd like to ask of himself and, on behalf of himself, of the country.
"One of the first - if not the first - documentary to address the issue of mental wellness, the six-part series follows the revered and beloved broadcaster on a quest to understand what's going on, with Britain's minds and his own. It's a show that makes a statement that will create shockwaves: 'I'm Alan Partridge, and I'm not OK'. Partridge will write, present and produce the series. He will also direct the series."
The writer-presenter-producer-director added: "I'm delighted to follow the Daily Mail's exclusive coverage of filming and their gallery of paparazzi-style images with my own press release more or less confirming the details they've announced. All best, Alan."
Broadcast details for And Did Those Feet... with Alan Partridge "will be announced in due course".
