TELLYBOX: Laughs from Alan Partridge revival and the tragic story of Dale Barclay By David Pollock May 1 2021, 10.15am This year is the 30th anniversary of Alan Partridge’s first appearance on the BBC Radio 4 comedy On the Hour, making the character as much a part of the UK’s broadcasting furniture as those he was originally created to mock.
