British Comedy Guide, 6th November 2019Greg James snubs One Show because of Alan Partridge
The BBC Radio 1 DJ admitted Steve Coogan's iconic comedy character - a hapless TV presenter totally lacking in self awareness - was such a "p**s take" of the Beeb's tea time magazine show during his most recent series that he still can't bring himself to even accept a guest spot on the programme because now the lines are so blurred.
Female First, 28th October 2019Greed review

Hannah J Davies, Paul Fleckney, Harriet Gibsone, Brian Logan and Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 18th September 2019Greed review - Steve Coogan gleams in knockabout satire
Michael Winterbottom's entertaining mockumentary about a high-street fashion tycoon presents a hideous carnival of obscene wealth, vanity and moral squalor.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 12th September 2019It is an intrinsically American format, the late-night talkshow, but Twitter comedian-turned-host Mo Gilligan has had a good go at bringing it home. The sketches are hit and miss, but the guests have been a solid selection of established names (Steve Coogan, Mel B, Danny Dyer) and relative upstarts (Maya Jama, Tom Davis), while Gilligan's easy confidence always carries the night. This is the last in the series; fingers crossed for a recommission.
