The Trip -- new Coogan/Brydon vehicle

[Idaho]

£93 for that!!!!

Two starters, two mains, wine, a desert and a coffee for £93. It's certainly on the pricey side, but not ridiculous. About £18 for the mains, £9 for the starters and £30 for the wine?

Watched it last night. Was slow to get going as the premise behind the story was explained, but was funny in the end. Looking forward to the next one.

...with water and a tip perhaps?, not ridiculous at all really....as long as it tasted amazing of course!

I enjoy Coogan sending himself up so I thoroughly enjoyed this. The Michael Caine impression duel was superb.

 

[Stoat Boy]

I found it quite clever and original. Just the sort of thing the BBC should be taking a risk on although it only really works due to the high profile of the two people involved so I guess its not been that much of a gamble but I will watch again next week.

R Bacon and Kermode both agreed that it gets better with each episode (they had both seen 3). I can quite believe this and the self indulgent aspect will probably a part of it's success as they take the piss out of themselves.

Well I think Brydon is try hard and I know, via a mate, Coogan at least used to be a cunt.

....although I enjoyed the end of that episode.

I might be giving Coogan undue credit here, but i have often in the past read of his cuntishness. Coke, fast women, utterly controlling to the point of suppressing fun when it comes to having full control of his comedy e.t.c. It could just be that he is now self deprecating of his past. Brydon does find most of his humour from observing his own quirks, Coogan might just be revealing more of himself at the same time.

I thought it was entertaining. The way Coogan was hitting on the Polish woman was well done, very funny in an understated way.

 

[Balbi]

Liked it. Had heard Brydon and Coogan discussing working with Winterbottom before on A Cock and Bull Story, did feel like this was 'them' from that doing this..

 

[badlands]

it's brilliant,

plus it has one of the best director's in the world

in fact, Winterbottom has edited a film out of it and it's gone down a storm at festivals

 

[killer b]

i thought it had the feel of a film about it.

another thumbs up here btw. thought it was excellent. was coogan playing himself as a more successful version of partridge?

 

[badlands]

now, there's a question

 

[1927]

now, there's a question

The question mark at the end gave the game away really didn't it?

Thats another question, but a rhetorical one, whcih means you dont have to answer cos I already know what the answer is!

Anyone seen the Partidge internet shorts?

[Wookey]

Loved it, laughed out loud - the impressions was gold - totally recycled from a pub conversation, but thanks for sharing...lol

 

[Badgers]

Enjoyed it a lot

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Finally - good comedy on the telly!

 

[belboid]

oh look, they did the same thing again

 

[Santino]

I liked it.

 

[spartacus mills]

I liked it, episode 2 made me laugh out loud...

 

[kabbes]

It was and is brilliant. I can't believe some of you don't like it. It just goes to prove that there is nothing so good that somebody somewhere won't hate it.

 

[killer b]

i also enjoyed. there seemed to be regular partridge references throughout - the dream with ben stiller was somewhat reminicent of the lapdancing dreams from i'm alan partridge, alan sang wuthering heights on comic relief, and there was something else in the first episode too. wonder what that's about?

 

[8ball]

It's quite sweet and rambling. A few too many impressions tonight, I thought, but am enjoying it. Was tonight the 2nd or the 3rd?

 

[Shirl]

oh look, they did the same thing again

Yes they did but I enjoyed it this time. I found it much funnier than last week but maybe last week I just wasn't in the mood.

 

[editor]

Watched it for the first time tonight. The Stephen Hawking bit was very good.

 

[OneStrike]

I think that it is lovely, easy viewing. The Kate Bush and Bond references are a lovely reminder of Partridge, they are taking the piss of themselves, if that is self indulgance i don't care, it isn't my interpretation anyway.

 

[paolo]

Definitely a grower. It's got a very British subtlety to it. If Rev was low key, this is almost comatose, in an endearing way. Thought the end was quite sad. In between the pissing around, there's a melancholy undertone.
