Alan Partridge is recording a new podcast series

The iconic comedy character will return to the airwaves in September with a new 11-part series on Audible.

Alan said: "When it comes to podcasting I was a late adopter. I believed - like millions of others - that the future of broadcasting lay in hologram technology. Over a decade later and with Peartree Holograms now dissolved, I can see that I backed the wrong horse, just as I had with Betamax.

"Now, I have thrown my all into podcasting and am pleased to be considered one of finest podcasters of all time. My new series will cement that legacy."

Alan - who is played by comedian Steve Coogan - is set to discuss his career successes and failures, as well as intimate details of his personal life, in the upcoming series.

And Alan previously explained how his podcast differs from alternative shows.

The comedy character - who has also appeared in TV shows, a movie and written books - shared: "Format is the death of chat.

"Podcasts are strangled by format – talk about your favourite meal, tell us about the adverts you enjoy, tell us about the last time you cried, watch 'Doctor Who' with me. Mine is different. I just yank back the curtain, drop the facade, peel back the warm hood of celebrity and reveal the real me, the raw me, the true me. A be-cardiganed, cuppa-tea-swigging, pair-of-slippers kind of Alan."

The broadcaster also admitted at the time that he wanted to record a second series.

Alan said: "I’m just waiting to hear from Audible as they’ve yet to say they definitely want a second series. I’m not worried. It’s just that they said they’d call and thus far they haven’t. It’s fine. They’ve not not called. They’ve just not called."

An Audible Original, From The Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast Series Two, has been written by Steve Coogan, Rob and Neil Gibbons and produced by Baby Cow for Audible.

Available to pre-order now, with the series launching in September exclusively on Audible at www.audible.co.uk/alanpartridgereturns
