There's no point in agreeing to be in a documentary if you then insist on 'not acting up for the cameras''. What did you find insecure about Coogan? Always interested (if not slightly depressed) in how some people see negative things where others don't - we can agree 'insecurity' is not 'positive'.

@@Netlife-001 to chuck my two quid in the pot - you see Coogan very much playing the antagonist throughout the series. Whenever Rob displays even a hint of pride about something he’s done, or one of his accents, Coogan always drags him down and criticises him.

Sean Connery bit at the start killed me. Brydon: “I have more fucking depth than you do” and “you talk through your mouth like you’re having a stroke” *stroke face*
These "Trip" films are endlessly delightful. I love that they inject some underlying narratives to flesh out these "characters" but the true joy of them is watching two friends and colleagues duke it out in the realm of impersonation (which Coogan continues to arrogantly insist that he is the greater artist)
I’m 25 but I watched this show when it came out and even as a 13 year old I was captivated by the characterisation of them both and how it inflects on the real people behind them. Casting Steve as the more successful of the pair but having delusions of grandeur, while Rob seems content as the less successful but more adored of the two, is genius
@@opulenceluxury8548 Have you actually watched it? It's way better than all the other panel shows on TV, and they have had lots of pretty high profile guests (Olivia Colman, Harry Shearer, Steve Davis, David Haye, Stephen Merchant etc..). You seem to have a highly inflated idea of Steve Coogan's success, comparing him to Tom Cruise is risible.
Two elements about Coogan make his impressions so accurate is that his diction and pronunciation is so clear and concise in general. He speaks so bloody well. It is a key ingredient.
I love Steve's Les Dawson impresson XD! I loved 8:13 where they were taking the piss out of the "Just a Minute" game show. XD The Steptoe and son impressions were amazing! Especially Steve's! 11:58 - Ronnie Corbett in Stereo..epicness.
Need to watch this again. Beautiful portrayal of the tension in what's meaningful in life- work or relationships. Coogan's (character's) ambition vs Brydon's happier, less ambitious character.
She was only 15 comes from Get Carter It is refering to his neice who was coerced to appear in a blue movie by Albert (Dave off Minder) and the bird he lock in the sports car boot that got pushed into the Tyne
I would love to know how close this is to real life. Fantastic actors and the director (MW) at the height of their powers . The Christopher Lee impression is a joy.
7:27 I felt excruciating pain for Rob when Steve schooled him properly on the Albert Steptoe voice. Not only did he get the exact pitch and soft Irish lilt, he even got that slight suggestion of Wilfred Brambell's slightly-refined enunciation. When Albert Steptoe said the word "don't" he did NOT drop the T at the end.
KING Koogan is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT on his voices AND faces; Mr Bryson is also EXCELLENT and "more" entertaining.(?) A REAL honour to watch this simply brilliant and unique DUO, as they both analyse/ad-lib and BRUTALLY master-debate each other along their journey. Such great fun to watch.

These two are a great double act. It's also noted that there are moments when Steve Coogan breaks up with laughter at Robs impersonations.

A bit like Kilburn
It’s incredible
I think coogans folks were Irish, that’s were the Irish twang comes from..
It's really good, especially as you could see he was then doing it for the first time.
Seen this so many times and Coogan's absolute delight and "Oh dear,," when Brydon messes up a line is just epic.
Rob's 'small man in a box' is pretty impressive. Also, Michael Caine gets a good running in this video.
I'm sorry Rob, I'm being facetious, please TELL ME ABOUT WELSH PEOPLE….
Every Englishman to his welsh mate
Rob Brydon does the best Ronnie Corbett,Alan Bennett and a great Roger Moore,He is underrated
He did the best Les Dawson as well.
Maybe best Corbett but certainly not best Alan Bennett. Coogan's is way better.
