Alan Partridge hosts a special broadcast for Red Nose Day - and it's every bit as tasteful and sensitive as his legions of fans have come to expect.

Alan is again joined by Sidekick Simon to "put poverty bang to rights".

"Comic Relief isn't just about the fun things that we all love, like Chris Moyles doing a guest appearance on Two Packets of Crisps and a Pint of Lager. It's about serious things, like Davina McCall holding the hand of an African boy whilst crouching down and saying a phone number. It's very, very solemn."

Foster's Funny gives you exclusive access to deleted scenes from Alan Partridge's Mid Morning Matters. This is Part 4.

Alan Partridge takes his viewers on a tour of his beloved home county of Norfolk. He visits various local landmarks, as well as some of his favourite places and also shows parts of his day-to-day life.

Alan Partridge offers some insights into his unique childhood, before issuing a reading from his autobiography I, Partridge.

Alan leaves behind his comfortable existence and heads to the north to ask whether, in this once united kingdom, a 'schasm' has formed between north and south, between the haves and have-nots.
