Alan Partridge's New TV Series

• 💡 Alan Partridge is seeking crowdfunding to support his new documentary series, a three-year passion project spanning the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King Charles.
• ⚠️ He cites inflation and union costs as reasons why documentary production is more expensive than ever.
• 💰 Despite some sponsorship and the sale of personal items, more funding is needed to ensure the series is the best it can be.

Crowdfunding Tiers and Perks

Creative Sponsorship and Naming Rights

• 📺 For £800, backers can have their name depicted through visual metaphor, circumventing broadcasting guidelines against mentioning names for money.
