It has been confirmed that Alan Partridge will be back on both BBC One and BBC Two.

BBC Two will broadcast a 25th anniversary special before the end of the year, marking 25 years since his debut on BBC Radio back in 1992.

A BBC One series will then air next year.

Both are set to be produced by Baby Cow Productions.

Shane Allen, BBC Comedy Controller, said: “Alan Partridge is in the top tier of comedy characters of all time, it fills my comedy heart with joy to welcome him back to BBC One and BBC Two.”
