Alan Partridge gets caught up in an armed siege in his hilariously actiontastic first feature film. North Norfolk Digital is taken over by a huge conglomerate and rebranded as Shape radio. Sacked breakfast DJ Pat Farrell promptly goes postal with a shotgun and it's up to Alan to resolve the rapidly escalating hostage situation.

Alan leaves behind his comfortable existence and heads north to ask whether, in this once United Kingdom, a `schasm` has formed between north and south. (imdb)

Devised, written, choreographed, performed and funded by Alan Partridge, Stratagem sees Alan not just treading the boards but pounding them, atop stages graced by such luminaries as Michael Ball, Jack Whitehall and Welsh rockers the Stereophonics. (imdb)
