Steve Coogan was among the thousands of fans watching Sir Paul McCartney at Glastonbury – and he gave viewers at home the Alan Partridge impression they all wanted. The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Entertainment Correpondent, Colin Paterson, caught up with the comedian and actor at Worthy Farm, where he was among the throngs of fans watching on as the former Beatle made history, becoming the festival's oldest-ever solo headliner. And just as McCartney is best known for being a Beatle, Coogan is best known for being Partridge, and he did the honourable thing and appeased viewers at home with a little rendition of a line from the much-loved character. The 56-year-old said: "Alan Partridge was asked, 'What's your favourite Beatles album?', and he said, 'Errr, that's a tough question... I think I would have to say 'The Best of the Beatles'."
