Alan Partridge is returning to live TV as the host of a weekday magazine show - 25 years after making his BBC debut.

This Time with Alan Partridge sees him stand in as the co-host of an evening programme that has more than a few similarities to the BBC's The One Show.

It's described as a "heady mix" of consumer affairs, news, "highbrow interviews and lightweight froth".

The character, played by Steve Coogan, last fronted live TV in the 1990s with chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You.

The fictional show was brought to an end when Partridge accidentally fatally shot a guest live on air.

Filming on This Time with Alan Partridge started on Monday.

My favorite part of this one is when he takes off the bass to answer a knock at the door.
