Alan Partridge's Scissored Isle
Alan goes on a deeply personal journey of redemption hoping to become a better citizen, a better man and a better, more sought-after broadcaster.
Following a controversial on-air incident, Alan attempts to make amends in this brand new one-hour documentary from Pear Tree Factual Productions.
Leaving behind his comfortable existence and vast detached house, Alan heads to the North on a deeply personal journey of redemption. With his Land Rover and his dog, he journeys into an unreported Britain inhabited by the very people he had offended to ask whether, in this once-united kingdom, a ‘schasm' has formed - a schism, or chasm, between the haves and the have-nots (or haven'ts).
From supermarket staff to payday lenders, disaffected street gangs to food scavenging 'freegans', Alan pledges to move among them; to understand them; to see the world through their eyes. And God willing along the way become a better citizen, a better man and a better, more sought-after broadcaster.
