The Trip -- new Coogan/Brydon vehicle

You're not alone in being confused; so far the Observer gig looks like a standard device by which to get The Odd Couple sharing space - maybe there will be a punchline in the article Coogan writes for the glossy Sunday mag . . .

i'm expecting an observer food monthly special where they do all the write ups.
 
I don't really understand what's going on with a lot of the food, and I'm reasonably far along the 'foodie' scale.
 
I loved the bit where Coogan tasted the wine in this episode having been told by Brydon in Episode 1 how to do it, and then they shared a little nod.

how do you mean? the food really isn't that important an aspect of the whole show.

I know that - you can enjoy the show without even looking at the stuff, but there's some nice, interesting stuff and then things that look really weird and aren't really explained, then there are times when they do focus on the food a bit. Seems patchy in that sense. I'm not saying I'm going to firebomb Broadcasting House over it or anything.
 
Seemed to work slightly better as there was more than just the two of them. I thought the bit near the end with Rob and PA was a bit out of place though.

I agree! Felt very unpleasant. Coogan can be as sleazy and flirty as he likes, but I thought Brydon's character was supposed to be happily married. :(

The first comment about the dog was excusable, but the near kiss just seemed odd. Apart from that and the odd continuity error it was still pretty enjoyable though.
 
Fits perfectly with the previous episodes, imo. They're each jealous of how they see the other, and both reacted as they thought the other might tonight (Brydon womanising, Coogan being grown upn sensible).

The food didn't look that impressive tonight, compared to the other places.
 
The flirting with her fit the character, with the competitiveness etc between the two men. But the attempt at a kiss was just pushing it too far.
 
I wasn't quite so impressed with the food either but thinking about it there seemed to be less camera time given to the food - not that Preacherman's shaggable sister was an unwelcome substitute

My least favourite episode so far, I think.
 
For the lazier Google stalkers out there, her name's Claire Ashcroft.

edit: I mean Claire Keelan - she was called Claire Ashcroft in NB
 
haha, memories come back of NB lyrically going down on her:) i couldn't work out where i knew her pretty face until reading the above


Tonight wasn't at the same standard but i still enjoyed it, i love Coogans Wuthering Heights references still.
