what a talent alan partridge is to play this "steve coogan" character so convincingly
Very funny
@ezo2161Remarkable!
It sometime slips and you see that basically he is just Steve Coogan in every single film he does but for the most part, ten on ten.
This is great banter. It really is.
I regularly revisit my DVD of The Armando Iannucci Programmes. There's so much joy to be found on that disc.
"I'm over here".
waaaaay way-oh-waaaaay Deeerrby County
Wonderful! Two comedy greats. I think Armando is one of those people who make life almost bearable.
gosh jonathan i liked the first part of your comment but worried about you for the second part. hope your still enjoying life
I Armando thinks 'life' is almost bearable, too.
Quiet! 🤫
The Tories will cancel, tax Coogan to misery, arrest him for pre-crime or send him to Rwanda if they see that life can be bearable...
@@callumbickle5419Don't worry too much.
Steve Coogan is a national treasure. Long may he (and Alan Partridge) live.
Love that we see the pitch of Scissored Isle around the hour mark!
Also props for mentioning Saxondale at 1.12 - legendary character.
I like that he hashed out 'Scissored Isle' on stage in front of an audience.
Flatly my dear I don't riverdance
(give a damn)
😂😂😂😂😂
Love the way Steve and Armando took that kid's script at the end with sincerity: great blokes. More of those insights and moments needed in the business.
the 2 finest british comedic minds of the last 20 years on 1 stage
1878EFC2008 - Hugh Jass, had a funnier name than you ;)) And me.
Morris-over ruled them and set the tone
Are you trying to advertise a Chris Morris/Stewart Lee gig? What's the link?
2 of the finest certainly.
The writing duo on Peep Show are up there without a doubt.
Steve Coogan is a vastly underrated actor. His small part in Iannucci's "In the Loop" was incredible and actually quite filled with pathos with his part being quite non comical in a comedy. Talking of Armando Iannucci, I do adore the Thick of It and especially Veep.
"I work for the national trust..."
Filled with Pathos but also manages to provide some of the funniest moments
SHES GOT A WATERING CAN!
I felt he just reigned it in, 5 mega pixel made me howl, i had to replay it.
You go careful there my love.
You missed a "now"
Now you now go no careful now now my now love now. Fixed it. @@howdj
very good of Steve to take that guys script, he could have easily told him to fuck off, get a laugh and move on, but nope he took it, make sure it had the writers details on it and said Baby Cow would look at it. That's just brilliant.
it won't be steve coogan reading it.
I think this was a bit of cynical face-saving gesture after losing his cool about the ‘canned laughter’ question.
That was superb with a few cans of guinness thoroughly enjoyed as a fan of their comedy for 20 years
They're here to tell you about the evils of drink!! 🍺☠️
I'm fretfully enamored with Steve, unfortunately for me perhaps, eternally. Forever thankful to pass through this lifetime in enough time & at the right time to enjoy him, while tragically askew in our earthly trajectories. *sigh*
Steve, you make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream...
Aaaaw Sheila.....that made me smile
Are you still living the dream,6 years later, Sheila? :)
looking good at 50.
Will be very disappointed if "Assume the Alan Position" is not the title of the second Partridge biography.
Love Steve
I wish Graham Linehan and Armando Iannucci would write something together. I feel like that those two minds would create the greatest television show that ever existed.
Graham Linehan worked on the Day Today so they actually have.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that show. I still wish they would reunite though. They are the two greatest minds in British television in my opinion.
I dunno I think their styles are quite different.

I think Armando Iannucci works better without drag.
Watching this for the first time, one year on from Brexit & highlighting the discussion at 39mins in.
Really interesting. A wonderful look into the insight of these 2 brilliant comedic chaps!
I'd love to know what Steve actually thought of the guys script. Fair play to him for taking it home with him!
I'd just like to point out that all the commenters here that I disagree with are wrong.
i liked that. maybe have a batch of generic dimissals:
'So many of these comments are wrong' 'i'm suprised how (naive, redundant, polyrythmic, amphibiious,etc) all these commenters are" " if shame is wealth, education will make these commentors rich" forget that last, it came outta nowhere. but really snobby sounding, eh? should wind'em up good (well)
fascinating when being interviewed Coogan's right brain is shooting off (very hyper visual and rushing to say everything at once causing a bottleneck and stuttering of language) but when acting its his left brain smoothly in action (linear sequential thought)
thats a deep comment on the observation of the mind... can you ellaborate im not sure exactly what you are saying im interested? surely that is his nerves and the scrutiny?
Niiice
As a Brit, I love Armando's quote:
"I feel like UKIP is for ex-pats... who haven't moved abroad, as it's full of foreigners."
Mike Gledhill Replace UKIP with Donald Trump and it's still hilarious.
The world we live in 😁 sometimes you need to laugh about it or it would drive you mad.
I should think it's almost certain that armando knows all about the better class of 'foreigner'.
Well, He can joke all he wants but Nigel Farage and Trump have become two of the most important politicians in the last 50 years.
His views have drastically changed !!
blummin marvellous, every minute of it
I'd LOVE to do some comedy...
Every time I see 'Iannucci' typed down I end up obsessively trying my best to condense the pronunciation of it into three syllables rather than four. Like a middle class Brit abroad, the sound of IAN-ucchi really grates on me but so, in a way, does YAN-ucchi. The irony is I have never bothered to look at how Italians might actually say it. They'd have definitely just walked off by now to buy some pizza and little statues of the Parthenon. I'm not married.
+cx1735 The trick I use for this is to remember his name as Amando Neo-nazi, although often I'll just use that. Hilarity ensues.
And you're in Greece. which may be why your italian isnt working on the locals.
But i'm baffled. why not 4 syllables? Ian has 2 in the uk. Gaelic? really i dont understand. that 'yan' is just some backwoods patois (pah-tow-iss)
Painful analysis
Steve you've never made me work while watching. Lovely stuff.
Audio feedback echo is too much for my lug holes.
Yeah I know what you mean, mic feedback is terrible
8:24 Steve speaks some perfect truth for creatives
Cook Pass Babtridge
Once in a while, I randomly remember that phrase and scene and it cracks me up. I don't know why that particular one as there was a lot of funny stuff from the A.P. and other series.
UTB & Partridge
I think it's very funny that Steve Coogan is turning into Alan Partridge.
@Aidan Gale Brascofarian is allowed a toilet break if he wants
On the contrary, Alan Partridge is turning into Steve Coogan.
Lovely stuff, not my words
I love that Paul Calf coughs for "A-ha!" (The smoking no doubt.)
This is glorious, hope they work together again soon
Wonder what happened to the aspiring writer at the end
Chris Mellor just been thinking that..... Coogan probably binned it, I hope not though
Same here.
He got a power pack... hahaha.....hahaha........ NEWS...
Interesting title, but I feel like they've met before....
You can meet someone more than once. Thousands of times in fact. :)
Indeed, I was all set to get a bit sarcastic at Not A Horse when I thought about that. I've "met" people for lunch, doesn't mean I've never seen them before. Whoops!
NickSheridanVids you took the L. Fair play
13:43 and I thought a mouse was running across my desk!!!
thanks for this!!
Its true about the radio dramas they do spend all their time sighing a lot or have a tap running in the background, just so you dont get bored.
ffs I think i prefer the mystique
17:00 'brevity is the soul of wit'
Now I get the character in Trip to.... series/movies.
With a mere 90 horsepower the Megane leisurely pace can only be described as power sappingly slow making overtaking national express coaches a long drawn out affair.
Not my words Carol
Adore
I absolutely love Alan Partridge and Coogan. I hope he makes a drama! Yeah.
Interesting chat. Awful sound. Are the glasses on the table resonating?
Why is he so charming and beautiful? I try not to be so obsessed with him, but i cant
I really wished they would have addressed the guys question on extreme greed......i personally think he wasn't highlighting Coogans wealth (which I feel is deserved) but more the clear economic inequality of our times...Saxondale would have waded in!
You never see Steve Coogan and Holly Johnson in the same place, at the same time.
The sheer volume of nobodies (of which I am of course), feeling that youtube comments is the forum to FINALLY show the world how much more insightful they are than either of these two successful professional comedians is laughable. Pun intended.
Exactly. Name one successful project that either of these two nobodies have worked on. Oh wait..
Jason Ross - what, like your one you mean? Yea, I can see that.....
why did they put steve’s mic closer to his nose then his mouth
They feed him through the cable
Kudos to Steve Coogan for accepting that young writer's script... (I wonder what if anything came to pass???) xx SF
Comedy Genius. Everything he does is hilarious.
My mother was an IBM computer engineer too.
Shame the videos have no captions.
The only one I couldn't get was Saxondale. Hated that character.
Acerbic wit. Lovely stuff.
"he's in the Bullingdon club with all those other basted's" 😂
love steve coogan, and yes i agree he should host TOP GEAR 2017, ah ahhhhh.
the echo is freaking me out
Shame about the sound set up
Sounds a lot like my dad.
That microphone makes him look a bit doctor who
genii.
Note to sound engineer: Coogan doesn't talk through his nose. Lower the mic.
He's a manc mate. We talk through our nose from these parts
@@michaelhoughton800 Fair enough, but not THAT badly. :-)
is this cool? is this cool? what about me? cool am I? find out tonight on bbc 2
Surely it was Tony Blair who popularised that finger curling!... Love those two!
Back when the Guardian was worth reading.
It's all gone Pete Tong.
STEAK HOUSE! STEAK HOUSE! They're turnin it into a Steak House.... Oooohhh Let's all go to the Steak House and eat Steak with STeAk for starters, and then A main course of STEAK, and Steak for pudding, with a side order of steak... with steak on it!
1:25:00 sit down mate, you being a prat.
i just wish steeve had shown a little more kindness to some of his questioners,still love the guy but hes an enigma
the canned laughter guy was a pretentious arsehole.
I must have watched a different interview to the negative responders
He goes on a bit said alan
Now then, now then..
I wonder if this gets less boring? With just 18 mins in I am giving up trying to find out.
Community Guidelines. Lovely stuff.
"Steve Coogan meets Armando Iannucci"?
I'm pretty sure Steve Coogan and Armando Iannucci met long before this...
Incredible to think that the guy who’s script Coogan takes away with him ended up as Laurel and Hardy
Doff the proverbial..
Steve Coogan resembles a male version of Kristen Stewart and a white Barack Obama
😂
Do your Frank Spencer
these singers from....Chad...who sing 5 notes
Not to mention all the Romanian drummers!! 🥁🇷🇴
Genius and funny... Steve - please do some brexit stuff. We need you to ridicule Farage etc. I assume Alan voted Leave? How would he cope around the bbc Remainer types.
The Harrier is subsonic. You would need an F-35.
40:37
"Jill, FIFTY" ;)
Minutiae
milking the teat of a fox
Philomena was great and the quality of these two men's comedy speaks for itself.
Are you on COVID steve? Whhats with your breathing tubes?! 😂
The question at 1:25:00, they knew exactly what the guy was on about with the canned laughter and they both came across as defensive d**ks in their response! Surely the location scenes in AP has no live audience, so it must be watched on a screen to evoke a laughter track, canned or otherwise!
In my opinion comedy must be very much more difficult to write. I should imagine Mr Coogan having the ability to do comedy / drama.
you really are not wrong.
Raven Jayne Grace I took drugs
im sure we should marry, probably?
well anyhoo, let me know!
: D
....ohmgawd...at least I now know where SC gets his tedious over-explanations from now.....zzzzzz.....
Coogan is an amazing actor. Get a hearing aid man. Armando doesn't have a Glasgow accent.
steve starts lo look like jörg haider
😂
Who is he?
Who is this chap? Is the funniest thing Partridge ever did.
The book is superb.
lmao these audience questions were excruciatingly bad
Funny you should say that, I was there that night and asked the BBC adopting the US model question at 1:29:21. I remember feeling deflated at Steve not having an opinion on that and also thinking there were some basic questions being asked by other audience members that these guys would've answered a million times before. What would you have asked if you were there?
Who is the best Lord. ?
Actually I would ask why Armando doesn’t write anymore as he was clearly funnier than Gibbons.
5:00 yeah, move on and sober up.
