interesting interview by Bloo	Aug 18th, 2008 09:56:22 AM
I'll be honest, hadn't seen Steve Coogan until NATM and really enjoyed his and Own's banter and fueding I'd really like to check out some of his BBC stuff and I've got nothing

the weight of partridge by hoisin	Aug 18th, 2008 10:09:09 AM
Sadly, though good...none of Coogan's work has lived up to Alan Partridge. Obviously he doesn't want to be typecasts and would like to do other things, but I know I'm not alone in being willing to donate a testicle for another series of Partridge. Americans, do a search for him on youtube this instant.
LYNNE THEY'RE SEX PEOPLE! by TubewayArmy	Aug 18th, 2008 10:09:32 AM
Steve Coogan craps on Gervais. NATM is the proof. More Coogan please, looking forward to this flick. GET YOUR FANNY OFF ME!
Bouncy X, it would be called Hamlet II. by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Aug 18th, 2008 10:11:06 AM

I'm Not An Animal by thinboyslim.	Aug 18th, 2008 10:12:30 AM
Did they ever release that in the US? That's another one of those obscure Coogan things that end up being brilliant.
Dan by Papa Lazaru	Aug 18th, 2008 10:18:47 AM
Dan. Daaannnn . DAAAANNNN . DAN . DAN.............DDDAAAAANNNNNN . if you know Partridge , you know what I mean.
DAAAAAAN! by Marxeffect	Aug 18th, 2008 10:29:08 AM
Hahaha Papa Lazaru! That tickled me!

COCK PISS PARTRIDGE by Papa Lazaru	Aug 18th, 2008 10:41:32 AM
3 words = comedy gold or how about COOK PASS BABTRIDGE , equally as funny :-)
'You're a posh sod... by Negator76	Aug 18th, 2008 11:02:55 AM
...with plums in your mouth. And the plums have mu-tated, and they've got beaks.' ALAN PARTRIDGE... FUNNIEST FUCKING SHOW, EVER.

IAP wasn't that good. by ironic_name	Aug 18th, 2008 11:06:43 AM
that is all.
that...was liquid football by Cedar_Room	Aug 18th, 2008 11:08:20 AM
I still use those Partridge lines from The Day Today on an almsot daily basis. TWAT! Its a goal! And another one!
TWAT!!! That was liquid football!!! by LordPorkington	Aug 18th, 2008 11:10:06 AM
But seriously Capone, that was textbook. Jurassic Park! Back of the net...
Dammit Cedar_Room! by LordPorkington	Aug 18th, 2008 11:12:20 AM
Of all the quotes we had to choose from and we did the same, although I'll be seen as the offender because you posted yours first. Now I've got football pie all over my shirt :-(
24 Hour Party People... by Banzai Rootskibango	Aug 18th, 2008 11:57:42 AM
...was the shiznet.
So you've enjoyed him in 'rolls'? by sethcohen	Aug 18th, 2008 12:12:15 PM
Seriously?
Winterbottom has an amazing career. by Knuckleduster	Aug 18th, 2008 12:16:29 PM
He makes a movie a year and they're almost all great. And he doesn't repeat himself like most filmmakers do. It's something different every time. Everyone should be jealous of this guy's talent.
"SMELL MY CHEESE, YOU MOTHER!" by bravogolfhotel	Aug 18th, 2008 12:18:03 PM
Good interview, Capone. Coogan is a demigod, and deserves as much attention as he can get.
Paul and Pauline Calf is genuis as well if youve never seen them by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Aug 18th, 2008 12:20:53 PM
Check out Coogans sketch show as well. And be amazed by the greatness that is Paul and Pauline Calf. Plus Gareth Cheeseman "You are a tiger! Grrrr!" :D
I'm seeing him live in October by performingmonkey	Aug 18th, 2008 12:35:39 PM
He's doing all the characters that we haven't seen for years. Even Partridge has been in his box for too long (hopefully the planned film will happen next year). Coogan is great when he has the writers to back him up. Like in Alan Partridge he had the great Armando Ianucci and Peter Baynham. I would love a final series of I'm Alan Partridge to round off the character. Have it so that Alan actually does achieve some success again, but only by accident or something.
Papa Lazaru by nukethefridge	Aug 18th, 2008 12:38:24 PM
Dan's a fantastic man. Referencing partridge and then seeing the look in another persons eye as they get the reference is one of the small joys in life.
'Coogan's first leading role in an American film' by Alonzo Mosely	Aug 18th, 2008 01:09:16 PM
Wasn't 'Lies & Alibies' American? Sure it wasn't very good, although Coogan had a couple of funny moments, but he was the lead...
Nice by DonnieDorko	Aug 18th, 2008 01:27:05 PM
Great read, Steve Coogan is hilarious! Hope he won't feel preassured to only do stupid US comedy.. there is smart US comedy too.
"I've got your kids, Dan. I've got your kids." by BillEmic	Aug 18th, 2008 01:49:23 PM
Alan Partridge is the most consistently hilarious comedy writing I've come across.
Lynne, you're always going on about by Golitsyn1	Aug 18th, 2008 01:49:58 PM
Benjamin Netanyahu. Give it up. You're never going to meet him.

What did you have for Breakfast, Camp David? Ooh Mince!
it's official! Steve c by oisin5199	Aug 18th, 2008 02:17:28 PM

Steve Coogan likes to be enjoyed in dinner rolls! by oisin5199	Aug 18th, 2008 02:20:28 PM
um, buttery rolls. Mmm. Ew. Okay, film 'critics' really should spell the word roles correctly, I should think. Love Coogan, btw. 24 Hour Party People was a masterpiece. From the opening bit with the Icarus joke, that was a great film. Tony Wilson lives! Also love his bit with Alfred Molina in Coffee and Cigarettes. I hope Coogan gets his American breakthrough.
Dan! by mooli_mooli	Aug 18th, 2008 03:11:17 PM

Surely Hamlet 2's sequel would be called 'Hamlet 2B'?

Coogan is cool by pap	Aug 18th, 2008 05:06:56 PM
I recommend Knowing Me Knowing You and The Paul Calf / Pauline Calf Video Diaries to anybody. But... Pegg used to be his warm-up man, and now he's (kinda) conquering the world. That's one boat missed, people.
Knowing me, knowing you... by wilsonfisk89	Aug 18th, 2008 06:47:21 PM
a ha! Coogan is a genius. thats it.
Nothing against Coogan, but... by critch	Aug 18th, 2008 08:21:19 PM
am I the only one that thinks Hamlet 2 looks like shit?
Actually think 80 Days is charming. by Dingbatty	Aug 19th, 2008 05:01:27 AM

papabendi by papabendi	Aug 19th, 2008 05:18:22 AM
How about a Tony Farrino movie Steve? As long as it's co written by Peter Baynham and Armando Iannucci rather than Henry Normal (Henry's never been your best writing companion I'm afraid)it could be a thing of greatness.
I can read you like a book Lynn... by papabendi	Aug 19th, 2008 05:22:25 AM
and not a very good one. Certainly not Bravo Two Zero which, incidently, gets better with every read.
Saxondale by Cablecasual	Aug 19th, 2008 06:11:56 AM
Wasps are bastards why They're just bastards..... I thought Saxondale was up there with all the Day Today and Partridge stuff. The man has still got it
