And he has even plastered some of the walls in his own home in the eye-catching wallpaper to celebrate the return of Alan Partridge to our screens in This Time With Alan Partridge.

The wallpaper was created by Mr Haynes, originally from Walsall but now living in Hednesford, founder of Big Bear Comms, and his friend Zeyad Ahmad.

Mr Haynes said: "It was to celebrate the return of Alan Partridge to our TV and we've always been massive fans and my mate told me that you can put anything on wallpaper.

"You can do whatever you want and the more and more I thought about it, I thought it was cool to have a wall of Alan.

The wallpaper is called The Five Faces of Alan

"You could do Noddy Holder and you can do absolutely anything, but it's relatively new technology

"We've been mates since university and friends for 19 years and we're both 34, so we've grown up with Alan and one of our other mates is a big fan.

"It just seemed like a bit of fun.

"I don't think I'm going to take it down. I'm just operating out of our spare room, so we've put it up on one wall and it looks really really good.

"There was a few, so I'm a massive fan of comedy. What we've done is capture the best of Partridge – so we've got Dan, we've got the spike, the one with 'can I get some water please?' from the new show, zombie Alan, and 'moooo!' – it's all different moments."

The work, entitled The Five Faces of Alan, captures some moments from Steve Coogan's famous character.

Zeyad Ahmad added: “This new design has been created to celebrate all that is Alan. It’s available as a choice of either peel on peel off high quality PhotoTex, or standard pasted wallpaper.

"We’ve already had a request from one Alan fan near Plymouth for 50 rolls, enough to paper the upstairs of a three-bed semi-detached house."

Aha!
