British Comedy Guide, 7th September 2018The Trip: a show about death that deserves to live on
Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan's show is an absurd meditation on ageing - and as the years go by, it just gets better. It would be a grave mistake to stop it now.
Edward Tew, The Guardian, 12th May 2017It's the end of the road for Michael Winterbottom's superlative road trilogy, with a climax that utterly pulls the rug out from under our feet, while wryly commenting on themes explored throughout the series. Before we get to that, though, there's the Alhambra citadel and Málaga to drink in, and a riff on Anthony Hopkins channelling Picasso as William Bligh of HMS Bounty ("I'll put the nose where the cheek is, damn your eyes, sir!"). Amazing.
