TWICE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing an innovative 'dual narrative' structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut then something quite unexpected and moving, because Big Beacon also tells the story of a selfless man, driven to restore an old lighthouse to its former glory, motivated by nothing more than respect for a quietly heroic old building that many take for granted, which some people think is a metaphor for Alan himself even though it's not really for them to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaving his old life behind and relocating to a small coastal village in Kent, Alan battles through adversity, wins the hearts and minds of a suspicious community, and ultimately shows himself to be a quite wonderful man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The two strands will run in tandem, their narrative arcs mirroring each other to make the parallels between the two stories abundantly clear to the less able reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Information: Alan Partridge is one of Britain's favourite and most decorated unemployed broadcasters - although he does have a podcast. Once the star and lead presenter of Mid Morning Matters on North Norfolk Digital and This Time on BBC1, he is now not those things, but is perfectly happy and comfortably off. At the time of writing, he has a girlfriend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASDA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48339409273070,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-364433","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/9781398719217_T1.jpg?v=1784313101","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/alan-partridge-big-beacon-hardback-book-2026364433","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
