Coogan
Steve Coogan has talked revealingly about his career in comedy in a new interview.
Talking to Kirsty Young for her Young Again show he chatted openly about his early days and his future.
He said he no longer feels as trapped by Alan Partridge as he once was: “Because I’ve had a degree of success with other areas, I now feel a little bit more relaxed. It freed me from Alan Partridge so that when I do Partridge now it's through choice, not cause I'm locked into this Alan Partridge-shaped cage.”
The first images of Steve Coogan as veteran TV interviewer Brian Walden in new drama Brian and Margaret have been released.
Written by award-winner James Graham (Sherwood, Quiz, Brexit: The Uncivil War), and based on political editor and TV producer, Rob Burley’s book Why is This Lying Bastard Lying to Me?: Searching for the Truth on Political TV, Brian and Margaret will air on Channel 4 in 2025.
