Alan Partridge: Big Beacon

Product Information

Yes, that very clearly is what it's about - the bit of his life he has yet to write about, half of which is new to us all so dunno what people are moaning about. It's true at the end of the vid he says it will also include anecdotes from throughout his life but that'll just be garnish, by the sounds. An inveterate chat-meister like Partridge will always have something new to say A passionate auto-biography written in a style unheard of in literature; the dual narrative. Alan has to be given credit for his forward thinking, this really is a game changer for the written word and has to be considered for the Booker prize.

QuotePublished by Seven Dials on 12th October, the book reveals how "Norwich's favourite son and best broadcaster" triumphed "against the odds. TWICE." Leaving his old life behind and relocating to a small coastal village in Kent, Alan battles through adversity, wins the hearts and minds of a suspicious community, and ultimately shows himself to be a quite wonderful man. This article is taken from The Big Issue magazine, which exists to give homeless, long-term unemployed and marginalised people the opportunity to earn an income. To support our work buy a copy!Working with the Gibbons brothers has given Alan Partridge his most funny period and during this book, we see him at his best. Flipping between time periods during chapters keeps it fresh and his point of view recollections of his time at midmorning matters and this time are hilarious. Using an innovative ‘dual narrative’ structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits. I'd love to see him expand a bit - a behind the scenes docco on the filming of the pilot of Swallow, perhaps, or some sort of The Trip style travelogue paid for by the Radio Times. Create more room for him to be a character and react to things, rather than keep him tied to the past. They've sort of done that with the lighthouse stuff I guess?

Is there any precedent for that kind of affect in the Iannucci era? It always feels a bit much for me, but I appreciate a lot of people enjoy it. Using an innovative 'dual narrative' structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits. Alan Partridge is publishing his third memoir, Big Beacon, about resurrecting his television career. But also about restoring an old lighthouse

Firstly, this month the Norwich broadcaster presides over a further instalment of his hit podcast, From the Oasthouse, another multi-hour marathon of precision-tooled comedy in which he mulls over the topics of the day. Or, as one of its writers describes it, “the ramblings of a lonely man who doesn’t want you to know he’s lonely”. And then, in October, comes Big Beacon, the third instalment of his memoirs. (Did Winston Churchill manage three memoirs?) Big Beacon, so the blurb tells us, will use an innovative “dual narrative structure you sometimes see in films” to tell the story of how he rebuilt his TV career alongside rebuilding an old lighthouse to its former glory, “motivated by nothing more than respect for a quietly heroic old building that many take for granted, which some people think is a metaphor for Alan himself even though it’s not really for them to say”. Published by Seven Dials on 12th October, the book reveals how "Norwich's favourite son and best broadcaster" triumphed "against the odds. TWICE." So many laugh out loud moments, you know why you are here, reading these aren't going to stop you enjoying Partridge's peerless production. Big Beacon employs a straightforward dual narrative technique, which Partridge naturally regards as an innovation (he spends most of the prologue needlessly explaining how it works).

In Big Beacon, Norwich’s favourite son and best broadcaster, Alan Partridge, triumphs against the odds. TWICE. I [once] developed incredibly strong feelings towards the female broadcaster Sue Cook, which did extend to touching,” he admits. He’d told Cook that her hair was beautiful, and wondered whether he might feel it. “I was crossing a line, and I regret that.”

Journalist, presenter, broadcaster, husband, father, vigorous all-rounder – Alan Partridge – a man with a fascinating past and an amazing future. Gregarious and popular, yet Alan’s never happier than when relaxing in his own five-bedroom, south-built house with three acres of land and access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma? In Big Beacon , Norwich's favourite son and best broadcaster, Alan Partridge, triumphs against the odds. TWICE. In Big Beacon, Norwich's favourite son and best broadcaster, Alan Partridge, triumphs against the odds. TWICE. Quote from: Magnum Valentino on May 11, 2023, 07:05:03 PMIt's published by Seven Dials and I've never heard of them yes, similarly excited and appreciative of the Partridge audiobooks and Gibbons brothers input, but slightly puzzled by what is left to say about Alan (in any media format) from 1994 to present.Irrespective of his recent career boost, he remains uncomfortably C-list, and weekends are spent enduring garden barbecues at Esther McVey’s house, where he shares cooked meat and passive aggression with Andrew Castle and Gary Barlow. He also spends some time in Qatar with disgraced former Sky TV football pundit Richard “Hairy Hands” Keys. They’re undiluted Alan, the perfect way to explore the full unreliable narrator comic potential of his complex psyche. But then something quite unexpected and moving, because Big Beaconalso tells the story of a selfless man, driven to restore an old lighthouse to its former glory, motivated by nothing more than respect for a quietly heroic old building that many take for granted, which some people think is a metaphor for Alan himself even though it’s not really for them to say.* But this format of him reading his own words is by far the funniest most comprehensive humour i have ever enjoyed. It is my opinion that this, I partridge and Nomad are the best bits of art i have ever experienced. This is my 3rd time buying audible purely for partridge and i will happily buy it 3 more times .
