Partridge tweets
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2013 11:04 pm
It's been an exciting week for fans of North Norfolk Digital's finest broadcaster, with the first trailer appearing online for the long-awaited Alan Partridge film – code-named Alpha Papa, due for release on 7 August, and starring the likes of Anna Maxwell Martin, Colm Meaney and Sean Pertwee, alongside Steve Coogan and other Partridge regulars. Cashback!
Meanwhile, over on Twitter, an account called Accidental Partridge (@AccidentalP) has attracted 40,000 devoted followers within a month. Its simple but effective shtick is to select the most banal, pompous, Partridge-sounding tweets by "celebrities" (I use the word loosely) and retweet them with the hashtag #accidentalpartridge. Here are our favourite Accidental Partridges so far.

@mrdanwalker I have significantly over-cheesecaked. Goodnight.
