Sad that it's no longer on terrestrial, but this is an utterly welcome return for the comedy travelogue starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as slightly fictionalised versions of themselves. This show isn't just about their work; it's their best work. This time, they're on a culinary jaunt through Spain, with Brydon escaping domestic life and Coogan on a literary mission. Mick Jagger and John Hurt are among the impersonated.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 6th April 2017Preview - The Trip to Spain

Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 6th April 2017The Trip to Spain: review
"Two middle-aged men looking for adventure, like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza." That's how co-star Rob Brydon pitched The Trip to Spain (Sky Atlantic), although I don't recall Cervantes' epic novel featuring so many Michael Caine impressions.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 6th April 2017TV review: The Trip To Spain
The big laughs come when they discuss the potentially unfunny topic of death.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 3rd April 2017The Trip to Spain episode 1 and 2 review
Coogan and Brydon's latest journey is like Hemingway if he'd been obsessed with daytime TV instead of bullfighting.
