How do you solve a problem like naming the long-awaited Alan Partridge movie? If this ever-so-meta chitchat between North Norfolk Digital's finest is anything to go by, with careful deliberation. The result: Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. Write that down in your copybooks... now.

brightcove.createExperiences();As anyone who knows their military call signs will tell you, Alpha Papa is a quick and easy way of saying "A" and "P" whilst looking a bit cooler than normal. This sort of action terminology will be handy for the broadcasting veteran over the course of the film, as it sees Mr. Papa Partridge in a hostage situation only he can diffuse. Sure, Alpha Papa's not quite 007, but it'll have to do.

What's your favourite alternate title - that Alan also suggests, that is? Let us know in the comment box below.

Yesterday we got a sneak peek into Alan's luxury office shed - complete with model Range Rover - and with any luck more stills will land over the next few weeks.

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is set for a August 7 release date. For more details on the man who brought the world the phrase "Liquid football!"{ =nofollow}, be sure to check out upcoming issues of Empire.
