"The line between Steve Coogan and Alan Partridge is a blurry one. The love of cars. The clothes. They've both done their own live arena tours. They even share a face. But if you ever needed proof that they're not actually the same, it's the fact that when I meet him for breakfast at his London hotel, he's not at the buffet with an oversized plate, the staff aren't giggling at him, and we're not in a Travel Tavern."
"This time round we meet an altogether happier, wiser Partridge 3.0. He's no longer in the public eye, but finds a steady stream of Norfolk-based corporate work just as fulfilling. On the face of it, my life is great, we learn. I've got a large house, he lives in the oasthouse from his podcast my partner Katrina [played brilliantly by Katherine Kelly] is one of the fittest women over 40 in Norfolk.

Steve Coogan and Alan Partridge share many surface similarities but remain distinct in behaviour and context. The new show How Are You? presents a quieter, wiser Partridge living a fulfilled Norfolk life with corporate work, a large house, and partner Katrina played by Katherine Kelly. The series is self-funded by Pear Tree Factual Productions and adopts a documentary format focused on mental health. Partridge presents to camera, conducts vox pops, hosts focus groups, interviews local experts, uses infographics and behind-the-scenes segments with Lynn, and attempts to reconcile with Sidekick Simon (Tim Key).
