Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan are back to play lightly fictionalised versions of themselves for the fourth outing of their series, a whirlwind recreation of Odysseus's 10-year trip through Greece. Beginning in Assos in Turkey and undertaking another series of gourmet meals, there are, of course, the impressions of Ronnie Corbett, Stan Laurel and Tom Hardy to contend with, as the pair bicker and meander their way through discussions on the nature of acting and the potential press response to their deaths.
Ammar Kalia, The Guardian, 3rd March 2020How comedy for men became touchy-feely
A more authentic, softer side to men is being reflected and celebrated on screen in ways it never used to be. Ben Dowell gets a warm, fuzzy glow.
Ben Dowell, The Times, 3rd March 2020The Trip To Greece review
The comics' semi-fictionalised food tour ends in the Med, as they deepen the moving pathos behind their celebrity impressions and endless bickering.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 3rd March 2020The Trip To Greece review
Four episodes left; which is roughly 17 Michael Caine impressions. Savour them all.
Chris Bennion, The Telegraph, 3rd March 2020Greed - The Devil is in the retail
Told in mockumentary style flashbacks, we see Coogan's McCreadie making his way in the fashion world and declaring his shops 'dreadful' using various obscenities.
Jazzy Janey, A Dose Of David Mitchell, 2nd March 2020TV review: The Trip to Greece, Sky One
Perhaps I'm being too picky. Maybe this series has been overshadowed but the slightly stylistically similar much more more good-hearted Mortimer and Whitehouse fishing series. It is always fun to spend time in the company of the incredibly talents Coogan and Brydon but in this instalment they do not quite match their previous highs. Hopefully they will scale that Olympus later in this series.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st March 2020Watching the most entertaining people you know dominate
Coogan and Brydon continue to aggressively impersonate Michael Caine over risotto - and yet, within that, there is art.
Joel Golby, The Guardian, 29th February 2020Film review: Greed
Despite the censoring, Greed gets its message across, and leaves you thinking about it a long time after you walk out of the cinema - food for thought indeed.
Rhianna Evans, The Comedy Blog, 28th February 2020Film review: Greed
Satire sowing the rise and fall of a high street fashion gladiator. Remind you of anyone?
Adam Zawadzki, The Edinburgh Reporter, 26th February 2020Film reviews: Greed
Steve Coogan and Michael Winterbottom largely manage to balance finger-wagging with rib-tickling in Greed, which explores the life and business of an amoral billionaire.
