Sky has announced the commission of a second series for Alan Partridge’s Mid Morning Matters.

Partridge and Bond go together like lager, gin and Baileys in a Ladyboy cocktail. One is an all-time national hero, a cultural icon whose prowess with the ladies is only matched by his beyond-the-call-of-duty dedication to Great Britain, and the other is a fictional spy played by Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

If Bond knew about Partridge, he’d be a fan. Sadly, as he doesn’t, it’s the other way around, and Alan once famously narrated the opening sequence of his favourite 007 film, The Spy Who Loved Me, to spectacular effect. However, nobody has ever checked the footage to establish the accuracy of his descriptive powers. Until now...

Pretty good, although the piping is more orange than lemon on the ‘Russian shits’. But if all Bond audio commentaries were like that, we’d be buying the new Blu-ray boxset the day it comes out. Something to consider for the next reissue, perhaps?

Sky Atlantic has today announced a number of Alan Partridge commissions and acquisitions from Steve Coogan.

It's a big week for actor Ashley Taylor Dawson in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks. It’s the day before Nancy's wedding and Darren is putting the final plans in place for his surprise Valentines Day nuptials. Will she forgive Darren for his deception in time to make it down the aisle?

> Catch up with Hollyoaks on 4OD.

We caught up with Greg to find out what he likes to watch to relax between shows...

Favourite TV show to cheer you up:

"The Alan Partridge shorts on the internet at the moment are great. I love them whenever I’m feeling a bit sad."

Favourite TV show to watch before going to sleep:

"Seinfeld, I just feel like part of the gang sitting in their coffee shop with them."

TV show that reminds you of your childhood:

"Mr Benn - it’s amazing, really bad animation. Mr Benn was a business man with a bowler hat and suit. He’d go to a shop and try a different outfit each week and the different outfit would take him somewhere new. The Turkish suit would take him to a Turkish souk, etc."

TV show that reminds you of being a teenager:

"The Young Ones - because I couldn’t believe I was watching it! I’ve never seen anything like it; I thought it was the funniest programme ever. I thought ‘wouldn’t it be incredible earning a living like this, trying to be funny?’."

Favourite “guilty pleasure” TV show:

"Grand Designs - just love it. I even love Kevin McCloud and his overemotional summing-up. On paper I would hate the way he attaches florid language to describe someone’s fucking house, but on TV I love it. Part of me just wants Kevin to fucking hold me."

TV show that you find most addictive:

"30 Rock - I haven’t watched many, so I’ve got five series to plough through. I just watch an episode before lunch or before I go out. I love catching up on a show that you knew nothing about and haven’t seen any of."

Favourite TV show to watch hungover:

"Murder She Wrote - massive crush on Angela Lansbury."

Axed TV show that you most wish would return:

"Gladiators - I want the original line-up to come back for two reasons... 1: I’m pretty sure that now I’m older, Jet and I might get together. 2: It was really unfair that John Fashanu’s catchphrase (Awoooga) never caught on. I want to give him the chance to make it."

Channel 4 have commissioned a new UK animated sitcom, Happy Families, "with the ambition to rival the great, long-running American animated series".

Women In Love, a two-part dramatisation of the D.H. Lawrence novels Women In Love and The Rainbow, traces the complex lives of two sexually-liberated sisters living in the early years of the twentieth century.
