Daily Star, 7th October 2011Rob Brydon: comedy's Mr Nice Guy
Calling Steve Coogan 'a bit of a turnip' is about as nasty as he can get.
Zoe Williams, The Guardian, 7th October 2011Comedian, voice actor and Steve Coogan's perfect foil, Rob Brydon chats about his much-garlanded career, from Marion & Geoff to Gavin And Stacey, and all points inbetween. Preceding an interview is a repeat showing for the superb and painfully accurate 2002 comedy-drama Cruise Of The Gods, starring Brydon and Coogan as former actors from a 1980s kids' sci-fi show enduring a fan convention aboard an ocean liner. Watch out for a cameo from Russell Brand, infamously booted off the shoot for drugs'n'strippers-style shenanigans.

Rob Brydon, The Telegraph, 2nd October 2011Rob Brydon on his love of clothes shopping and DIY

Interview by Rachel Corcoran, The Mirror, 17th September 2011Lee Mack and David Mitchell's quick-witted cross examinations are by far the best bits of this show, and tonight they get to bounce off Terry Wogan, who claims, among other things, that he likes to fire a loaded pistol every Christmas. The broadcasting legend also gives Rob Brydon an excuse to roll out his impression.
Sharon Lougher, Metro, 16th September 2011Terry Wogan is on the panel this evening, so you know it's only a matter of time before host Rob Brydon employs his scarily accurate impersonation of the great broadcaster. But he's not the only one present with a facility for accents, as comedian Kevin Bridges proves when he drops his Scottish brogue quicker than you can say "John Barrowman".
As ever, though, it's the forensic cross-examinations that make the show, particularly those directed at Sir Terry, who has to convince the opposing team that he performs minor acts of arson for kicks and begins his Christmas Day celebrations in a most unorthodox manner. You'll also get a strange buzz when he says the words "blank" and "blanks" again after so many years.
