The Trip : Coogan / Brydon

Ranked1_of_1 · 9 Nov 2010 at 08:31

I've only seen episode 1 so far, but loved it. Banter between the two of them was brilliant.

Thanks for the recommendations of other Brydon stuff. The more I see of him the funnier I think he is.

Loved the Richard Gere bit, so funny.

Yep, loved that part. Can't remember the exact quote, something like: "For a second I thought you had forgotten your line, but you were just... acting."

The restaurant food looked pretty crappy though.

I watched both episodes last night and it's great. The impressions of Anthony Hopkins in "The Bounty" were perfect.

I watched both episodes on iPlayer last night and thought they were brilliant. I'm a big fan of Coogan, but I've never really paid much attention to Brydon before. They do seem to work pretty well together.

Just watched the 2nd episode, fantastic (especially Stephen Hawkins)

. Love the way it's acted, scripted and filmed.

Reminds me of Marion and Geoff (Rob Brydon starring, Steve Coogan producing) which is also awesome.

This had promise, but it seems to just be a poorly veiled impression show. Very, very meh.

Really enjoyed the 2 episodes so far, way more than i thought i would.

I almost choked laughing at the Stephen Hawking bit last night

Great show so far and NOT A LOT OF BLOODY PEOPLE KNOW THAT

I thought iPlayer had made a boo-boo and labelled Episode 1 as Episode 2, but when I checked carefully I realised it was a different Restaurant in the second episode!

It's absolutely brilliant. Stephen Hawkings impression was excellent

God that was epic, I was like "how the ****...!" Didn't know Coogan was so good at impressions. Always cracks me up when they start trading anthony hopkins!

Just watched the latest episode there. Getting very thin on material and it seems to be rehashes of already used characters.

Shame really, I quite enjoyed it at the start. Last two episodes have been poor in my opinion.

TurnipHead · 22 Nov 2010 at 22:52

Last weeks episode was poor, but tonights was really funny I thought, even though they still did the same impressions/jokes.

It's how he started his TV career, doing voiceover impressions on Spitting Image :cool:

Very funny. Was a bit

when Coogan started smoking a spliff.

I caught this by accident last week and after a few minutes was totally sucked in. It was the episode with Bond/Richard Gere impressions.

Ended up laughing out loud at a few bits and watching it to the end. Need to catch up on the rest of these I think!

nero120 · 24 Nov 2010 at 09:59

God this scene was funny as ****!

DON'T TOUCH HARRRR!

Nah, the best Episode was the one with the Michael Caine/De Niro Impressions...oh, wait.
