In July 2017, Partridge appeared in an episode of the BBC Radio 4 programme "Inheritance Tracks", in which guests choose music to pass to future generations; he selected "Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" by Barry Mann and the theme from "Grandstand". Iannucci guest-edited an October 2017 issue of "The Big Issue", featuring a debate on Brexit between Partridge and Malcolm Tucker, a character from "The Thick of It", another sitcom created by Iannucci. On 27 December, BBC Two broadcast a documentary about the history of Partridge, "Alan Partridge: Why, When, Where, How and Whom?".
