Filming has begun on a second series of Alan Partridge’s Mid Morning Matters.

Six new 30-minute episodes will premiere on Sky Atlantic in 2015.

The channel has also commissioned a one-off 60-minute “hard-hitting documentary special” hosted by Alan Partridge.

Written by Steve Coogan, Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons, Alan Partridge’s Mid Morning Matters follows Alan Partridge as he presents his daily morning show on the fictional digital radio station, North Norfolk Digital.

Alan Partridge commented: “I am both thrilled, humbled, gladdened and excited to be bringing Mid Morning Matters back to Sky Atlantic. I expect those who doubted its success feel suitably chastened to never again doubt the wisdom of my career choices and to say nothing in response unless their comments are wholly supportive and positive. I hope I’ve made myself clear…thank you, let’s leave it there.”

Lucy Lumsden, Head of Comedy at Sky, added: “We’re thrilled that Steve wants to do more Partridge for Sky Atlantic. We look forward to seeing where Alan takes us next.”
