From the times about the latest Alan Partridge film :D - The film’s producers asked Marillion, the prog-rockers who hit big in 1985 with Kayleigh, for special permission to create a running joke around a fictional portrayal of the band’s drummer. A spokeswoman for the band, a going concern for 34 years, said: “They showed us the clips. They were really funny so we said ‘yes’. We know Marillion are seen as ‘uncool’ but we were delighted to be a part of it.” The band, who receive a special credit on the film, hope to discover a new audience. “They invited us to the Leicester Square premiere (which follows the Norwich event) and we’re going to give away a free CD introducing the band’s music to Alan’s fans.”
