Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan has dedicated his latest BBC series to the memory of his nephew Will Coogan.
A plain black screen in honour of Will was left after the final credits of This Time with Alan Partridge on BBC One on Friday night.
It read: "Dedicated to the memory of Will Coogan 1991 - 2021".
Will, the much-loved son of Steve's brother Martin Coogan and wife Joanne, died earlier this year aged 29.
Will was a talented musician and composer and had previously made waves in the music world with his sister Mary Joanna as the Mary Joanna Band.
The Manchester-based band had featured in the MEN in 2014 when they first launched their debut works, following in the footsteps of their musical dad Martin, who is a founding member of the Mock Turtles.
He combined his passion for the arts with a love for science as a gifted PHD student.
Actor and comedian Steve, from Middleton, recently returned to the BBC with his best-loved character Alan Partridge, for the second series of the spoof daytime show This Time.
