Driving School (The Day Today)
The Moment: A Day Today sketch in which Coogan explains the downsides of driving at high speeds…
Classic Coogan: It’s not quite Partridge, but its close, particularly when he puts one of his co-star’s heads through a window.
Come Come Mr. Bond (The Trip)
The Moment: Coogan offers Rob Brydon some tips on acting, none of which are particularly well-received…
Classic Coogan: As always, Coogan and Brydon’s bickering chemistry is sharp as a tack…
Here Comes Twitch (Saxondale)
The Moment: Tommy attends an anger management class in which he gets a little carried away with a roleplay exercise.
Classic Coogan: How he manages to deliver “here comes twitch” with a straight face really is beyond us…
Meet Hades (Percy Jackson And The Olympians)
The Moment: Coogan supplies some rare comic relief in Percy Jackson, introducing himself as Hades in fine style.
Classic Coogan: The scene itself isn’t that funny, but the contempt with which Coogan replies to the chirpy, “you’re Hades?” is most enjoyable.
ABBA Medley (Knowing Me Knowing You)
The Moment: Alan performs an ABBA medley in his own inimitable style…
Classic Coogan: The sheer aggression with which Alan belts out his medley is truly a sight to be seen.
Chestnut Roasting (A Cock And Bull Story)
The Moment: Coogan attempts to rehearse a scene in which a hot chestnut is dropped down his trousers. Unable to capture the requisite reaction, he decides to give it a go for real…
Classic Coogan: For all his witticisms, Coogan is an accomplished physical comedian, as witnessed here…
Red Nose Day (Mid-Morning Matters)
The Moment: Alan Partridge does his bit for charity by donning a red nose and discussing the effects of heavy drinking…
Classic Coogan: The wonderful Tim Key deserves a mention here for his sterling work as Sidekick Simon – Coogan’s reaction to his Charles Kennedy reference is priceless.
Dearly Departed (Im Alan Partridge)
The Moment: Alan attends Tony Hayers’ funeral, including a cringe-worthy attempt to console his widow.
Classic Coogan: The Castrol GTX jacket is a lovely touch. Wonderful slow reveal.
Health And Safety (In The Loop)
The Moment: Coogan pops up as an irascible constituent, preoccupied with a “dangerous wall” in his mother’s back garden.
Classic Coogan: “It’s like talking to a brick wall about a wall!” he booms, before insisting the cowed-looking journalist use his witticism for a caption.
Good Cop Bad Cop (The Other Guys)
The Moment: Coogan’s character receives a first-hand view of how Ferrell and Wahlberg run good cop bad cop.
Classic Coogan: Coogan’s performance really sells it here, particularly his peevish, “I’ll talk to you, you’re reasonable…”
