Second series of Mid Morning Matters - and a new documentary

Filming has begun on a second series of Alan Partridge's Mid Morning Matters For Sky Atlantic.

The broadcaster has ordered six half-hour episodes of the show from Steve Coogan's production company Baby Cow, to air next year.

And Sky's head of comedy, Lucy Lumsden, has also ordered another one-off hour-long documentary featuring Partridge, to follow on from 2012's Welcome To The Places Of My Life. But no further details have been released

Set in the fictional digital radio station North Norfolk Digital, Mid Morning Matters is written by Coogan with Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons and produced by Ted Dowd.

Lumsden said: 'We're thrilled that Steve wants to do more Partridge for Sky Atlantic. We look forward to seeing where Alan takes us next.'

And Partridge said: '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.'
