In Big Beacon Norwichs favourite son and best broadcaster Alan Partridge triumphs against the odds TWICE

Using 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

But 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 its not really for them to say

Leaving 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

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
