Through a combination of naked ambition, selfishness and insensitivity, Alan Partridge made himself the man he is. But is wasn't always easy. clinically fed up, but he bounced back - to somewhere close to where he was before, but less high profile. He's enjoyed everything a life in broadcasting has to offer, and encountered mentalists, scary Irishmen, lady boys, Scotch eggs, Mick Hucknall and rejection along the way.
Alan Partridge is Britain's most remarkable broadcaster. He's scaled the giddy heights of a short-lived TV chat show, and the crashing lows of twenty-six weeks in a motel equidistant between Norwich and London. He's survived the death of a guest on air, his wife leaving him for a fitness instructor, an encounter with a mentalist fan, being crushed beneath a dead cow and incomplete sex with a woman he was supposed to be sacking. He's suffered a breakdown, Toblerone addiction, weight gain and his autobiography Bouncing Back being withdrawn and pulped. But Alan continues to bounce back - resilience and Gordon are his middle names. He's still playing his eclectic mix of music and hosting phone-ins on subjects as controversial as 'Should the police learn Kung-Fu?' and 'How long could you survive on just crisps?' Alan Partridge: Every Ruddy Word charts Alan's incredible journey - from his first, unforgettable radio chat show, to the recent construction of a house to his own specifications. Why don't you join him? Join him . . .
The official script for the box-office smash movie, featuring every ruddy word (and stage direction) of Alan’s seamless transformation from natural-born broadcaster into fully fledged and occasionally fully dressed hostage negotiator.

The Key to Northwest European Origins represents many years of painstaking research by Raymond Franklin McNair (deceased October 11, 2008). Mr McNair’s unique book is the result of dedicated research that was undertaken in a range of disciplines including theology, ancient history, anthropology, genetics and mythology. This ground-breaking book seeks to understand why God worked through the little nation of Israel; what happened to the Israelites after the nation fell to the Assyrians; what the original Israelites looked like; and how we can prove the Israelites migrated into northwest Europe. Once we know where Israel is located during these last days, we are then able to understand the Biblical prophecies pertaining to them, according to Raymond McNair. This stunning book opens up the reader’s mind to God’s supernatural intervention in world affairs as He guides nations to their allocated lands through subtle and not so subtle maneuverings and intrigues. Reading like a detective story, this easy to read work is a must for all ages. “

What brilliant writing' Richard Osman 'Sensational' Jenny Colgan 'Hilarious' Jon Ronson 'Brilliantly funny' Marcus Brigstock In ALAN PARTRIDGE: NOMAD, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance. Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes - not a man (because he was one to start off with) - but a better, more inspiring example of a man. This deeply personal book is divided into chapters and has a colour photograph on the front cover. It is deeply personal. Through witty vignettes, heavy essays and nod-inducing pieces of wisdom, Alan shines a light on the nooks of the nation and the crannies of himself, making this a biography that biographs the biographer while also biographing bits of Britain.
