If you are a fan of putting your name to inconsequential things that have no real impact on the world, I have good news. There is a new online petition to sign. It’s called “Allow Coogan and Fielding to present an episode of The One Show”, and, at time of writing, it has just over 1,500 signatures.

The Coogan and Fielding petition, as you might expect, concerns the television series This Time with Alan Partridge. The show, broadly, spoofs magazine programmes such as The One Show, and so the creator of the petition wants Steve Coogan and his co-star, Susannah Fielding, to host a real episode of the actual One Show, presumably in character.

Armando is the creative force behind many comedy characters we know and love, including Malcolm Tucker and Alan Partridge.
A TV genius, Armando helped bring beloved Partridge to life in Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge, I’m Alan Partridge and even brought in to the big screen in Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
On top of that, the screenwriter brought political satire in its fiercest form to the BBC, with stand-out comedy The Thick of It, most notably giving Malcolm Tucker (played by Peter Capaldi) his famous wit and cutting insults.

Harry Hill has written a comedy rock opera about Tony Blair.
The comic has teamed up with his long-time musical collaborator Steve Brown on the show, due to premiere in the theatre at London’s Battersea Power Station in February.
