Coogan's Run: the Inside No 9 forerunner
Steve Coogan may be best known for his hapless comic creation Alan Partridge. But Partridge is far from the only character in Coogan's canon, and before there was I'm Alan Partridge, there was Coogan's Run.

British Comedy Guide, 12th February 2018What happens when TV characters get political?
Loadsamoney was co-opted by Thatcher, Roseanne is a Trump fan and Partridge could be the new face of Brexit. But do fictional allegiances make any difference?
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 15th January 2018There were many frissons of delight in this documentary looking back at Partridge's legacy, not least the realisation that the humour has aged not one bit. It is the humour of desperation, awkwardness and of a sublime lack of self-knowledge: and Coogan does it even better than Cleese, and has done ever since (as we find out here, with so many sharp talking heads) he paused an early radio recording to nip off to Lilywhites and re-emerged in the studio emblazoned with Pringle's finest sports-casual. In that moment Partridge was born.
I suspect we need him now even more than then, as a Greek chorus to our desperately febrile times, and a reminder that we will not - do not deserve to - survive without the ability to laugh at and with ourselves.
