The Trip To Spain: "Summer Wine for Guardian readers"

Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan chat at length about their next adventure into eateries, The Trip To Spain...

Rob Leane, Den Of Geek, 6th April 2017

Sad that it's no longer on terrestrial, but this is an utterly welcome return for the comedy travelogue starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as slightly fictionalised versions of themselves. This show isn't just about their work; it's their best work. This time, they're on a culinary jaunt through Spain, with Brydon escaping domestic life and Coogan on a literary mission. Mick Jagger and John Hurt are among the impersonated.
