Steve Coogan's comedy alter-ego Alan Partrige is set to star in his own movie - even though Partridge's co-creator Armando Iannucci is against the idea.
Coogan is keen to resurrect the irritating radio presenter and a spokesman for Coogan's production company said: "It's in the pipeline but we don't have any definite date."
But Iannucci admitted: "My personal view is that I've taken him as far as he can go and I'd rather leave him where he is - having a nervous breakdown in a bath in Dundee. But it's up to Steve what he wants to do with it and I wish him well."
