STEVE COOGAN
After training as an actor at Manchester Polytechnic, Steve Coogan kick-started his career when he began providing voices for a satirical puppet show, splitting image.
He introduced his most famous character, Alsn Partridge, to the nation on the BBC Radio 4 programme, On the Hour.
Alan's sporting commentaries gathered a cult following and Steve was soon to be seen on out TV screens in The Day Today, introducing character like Alan Partridge and Paul Caif to the viewing public.
Alan had also scored his own slot on BBC Radio with the spoof chat show, Knowing Me, Knowing You. The show transferred to television to widespread acclaim and it was followed up with the hit series, I'm Alan Partridge.
Most recently Steve has begun branching out into film, taking the lead in both 'The Parole Officer' and '24Hour Party People'.
After a long absence, Steve Coogan's best loved creation, Alan Partridge, is set to return to our screens for the series, I'm Still Alan Partridge'.
