In a chat with The Playlist, Steve Coogan has confirmed that the long-awaited Alan Partridge movie will shoot next year.

Ha! Long-awaited by whom?

No, I mean actually watching TV in America.
It's all adverts at silly times or news items with left wing and right wing politicians ranting at each other.
There are 40 channels on the TV in my hotel room and most of them are crap. Even the ones that are usually good in the UK (eg Discovery) are crap here. It's been showing Deadliest Catch none stop for three days, which some episodes repeated every couple of hours.
It's impossible to sit down in the evening and watch a couple of entertaining TV.

I've honestly never met anyone who watched a full episode of any of the shows

I totally understand. I've been three times and it totally is wank. However, you wanna try Spanish tv. OMG it's dire. I'm firmly of the belief that the UK is a world leader in only one area, and that's TV. We make a few ok shows and get the best of everybody else's. It's one of the few things I miss. Although, I don't generally have time for an awful lot of TV these days.

Last of the summer wine, anyone?

There's a lot of talk about Nikita getting cancelled (no jokes please), I bloody hope not, it's one of the best shows out there

No its not!
