Coogan has 24 Hour Party People and Cock and Bull, so they're about equal on good films. They both have more filmic success than Gervais, though, who has no good films.

Both of which were written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who lives up the road from me.

Haha.
This is turning into a Coogan Versus Pegg debate.

Me...Coogan. Just.

Pegg has turned his back on uk comedy for the time being, it seems. I can't say I blame his career move, its just a shame to lose him to Hollywood mediocrity. But who knows, hes an ambitious and talented guy. He still says he wants to do a final one hour special of Spaced to tie up all the loose ends...
In a way, Coogans "failure" to break the USA big time (as he parodied so well in The Trip) has been to the benefit of UK fans coz the less time he spends over the water, the more we get stuff like The Trip and the latest incarnation of Alan Partridge, in Novel form.
