British Comedy Guide, 21st July 2016Steve Coogan finds love again with Laura Hajek, 26
Just two months ago, he was seen engaging in a blazing row with his now ex-girlfriend Daisy Lewis outside London's exclusive Groucho Club. But now Steve Coogan, 50, has apparently found love once again, as he was spotted stepping out with pretty new girlfriend Laura Hajek, 26 - and she looks just like his Downton Abbey star ex.

'She used to make me cry with laughter', Coogan pays tribute to his friend of over 20 years.
Steve Coogan, The Guardian, 2nd July 2016As creeping gentrification sounds the death knell for London's smut-central, Soho, Michael Winterbottom reprises the area's neon-lit, 1960s and 70s heyday with this affectionate portrait of soft-porn lord Paul Raymond. Steve Coogan almost engages our sympathies as the millionaire nightclub owner and pornographer, but it's a superficial film that leans heavily on Raymond's awkward relationship with his daughter Debbie (Imogen Poots).

British Comedy Guide, 6th June 2016In Alan Partridge's Scissored Isle, Alan set out to make amends for calling someone a chav. He began in Manchester, "spiritual home of the needy", and so it was always going to get worse. Whether quizzing a freegan with relentless untact on what he would actually eat - "An egg in a sock? A condom full of grapes?" or pondering his recurring anxiety dream - "stuck in a lift with Diane Abbot" - he still represents flawed humanity at one of its most extreme ends, with an exuberant lack of self-awareness.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 5th June 2016After being taken to task for offensive comments about a guest on his radio show, Alan is seeking redemption. To that end, he has embarked on this magnificently self-serving journey through divided Britain. Along the way, he gains the trust of a Manchester street gang by accidentally taking ecstasy, attempts some Roger Cook-style doorstepping and gets locked in a warehouse after a scavenging trip with a freegan goes wrong. Textbook Partridge; to quote his (sadly pulped) memoir, Alan keeps bouncing back.
