Just in time for the holiday season, Seeso today announced that ALAN PARTRIDGE'S "SCISSORED ISLE" will debut November 17, and "ANDY RICHTER'S HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS," an all-new special from the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), will premiere on Seeso platforms December 20.
Following a controversial on-air incident, Alan attempts to make amends in ALAN PARTRIDGE'S "SCISSORED ISLE", a brand new one-hour documentary. Leaving behind his comfortable existence and vast detached house, Alan heads to the north of England on a deeply personal journey of redemption. With his Land Rover and his dog, he journeys into an unreported Britain inhabited by the very people he had offended to ask whether, in this once united kingdom, a 'schasm' has formed - a schism or chasm, between the haves and the have-nots (or haven'ts). From supermarket staff to payday lenders, disaffected street gangs to food scavenging 'freegans', Alan pledges to move among them; to understand them; to see the world through their eyes. And, god willing, along the way become a better citizen, a better man and a better, more sought-after broadcaster.
ALAN PARTRIDGE'S "SCISSORED ISLE" is a Baby Cow Production and is produced by Ted Dowd and Dave Lambert ("MOONE BOY," "GAVIN AND STACEY," ALAN PARTRIDGE'S "MID MORNING MATTERS") and is written by Rob Gibbons, Neil Gibbons and Steve Coogan. Sky Vision manages the show's worldwide distribution.
Later in the year, ANDY RICHTER is inviting you to celebrate the Holiday Season the right way with his family and all his important celebrity friends including Bob Ducca (SETH MORRIS), Andy's Wife (LAUREN LAPKUS), Andy's Mom (BETSY SODARO), Andy's Son (MOOKIE BLAIKLOCK), Andy's Sister (DIONA REASONOVER), Sappity Tappity the Talking Christmas Tree (JON DALY), Bjork (MATT BESSER), Parody Song Brothers (PAUL RUST and NEIL CAMPBELL), Piano Playing Uncle (MIKE CASSADY), Red Sandwich (ERIC HOFFMAN), Santa (EDDIE PEPITONE), Michelle Obama (EGO NWODIM) and Talking Gift (ALLAN MCLEOD).
"ANDY RICHTER'S HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS" is written by Eva Anderson and Matt Besser and produced by Upright Citizens Brigade and Universal Cable Productions. Eva Anderson, Andy Richter, Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh executive produce the special.
