Steve Coogan's TV roles ranked ... from worst to best
Paul Calf, Tommy Saxondale and a little known Norfolk radio presenter: as the actor returns to the screen in Channel 4's Chivalry, we ask which of his roles is the best.
Michael Hogan, The Guardian, 21st April 2022Saxondale is Steve Coogan's mid-life masterpiece
Why Coogan's portrait of a rock roadie in suburbia is one the most affectionate, acutely observed and affecting things he's ever done.
Tom Fordy, The Telegraph, 30th April 2021Saxondale (BBC2) is exquisitely awful. Then again, if you like your comedy with a dash of agony, you'll enjoy it.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 20th June 2006From seeing just the first episode it seems unlikely Saxondale is going to capture the public imagination in the way Alan Partridge, or even Paul Calf did, But there was enough in this episode to warrant further viewings.
