Brilliant news
Oddly the link wont open, but the title tells me all I need to know. Delighted about that. The first series was like putting on a comfortable pair of shoes.
Excellent news.
I've really enjoyed it.
It hasn't moved on a great deal at all but I think that's what makes me love it.
Really enjoying this so far. I thought the bit they did about newsreaders' intonations was great, and the MIchael Caine duels always get me. Brydon doing a B&Q advert as Bane in the first episode was priceless. It's amazing how they get so many gems out of doing exactly the same thing in every episode.
I liked the way Coogan did the Partridge shoulder shrug at one point.
Was that the bit when he said he was friends with Jake Gillenhall but didn't know how to say his surname?
Avoiding watching this so far, got tickets to see it at the Sundance Festival in London in a couple of weeks time.
Honestly I think that I could watch Coogan and Brydon bickering and bantering endlessly.
Fucking hell, Brydon doing Parky interviewing Coogan was brilliant.
That bit was great. I love the moments where Coogan seems to genuinely crack up at what Brydon is throwing at him.
Really going to miss this when it finishes. There has to be a third series, surely. A trip to the US, perhaps?
A trip to the moon, please. Big Brother style.
Yeah I was thinking US is a logical third series. But anywhere works really, it's the same whatever.Originally Posted by Chris
Although, would you really think of doing a trip to America about "fine dining"?
I'm sure they could make up some reason for going there. The restaurant reviews aspect has been downplayed this series, in favour of them tracing the history of Byron and Shelley. The only thing they do consistently about the restaurants this time around is having Coogan guess the price of the meal.
Fictional Coogan had an American series in the first trip, and now fictional Brydon has been offered a role in a feature film. So a trip to the US makes sense in terms of what they've built up already and there would be an natural animosity about their respective Hollywood careers to get plenty of banter from. They maybe wouldn't go for somewhere as predictable as New York or Los Angeles. But it wouldn't really matter where they go. I could watch this kind of show endlessly.
Yeah, but the places they are going to are "fine dining" and they haven't had a meal under €150
It'd be interesting seeing an American series, because since The Trip to Italy has been filmed, Coogan has become an Oscar nominated writer.
The Trip to Spain starts on 6th April on Sky Atlantic. I love these shows.
There's a good interview with them in the Guardian. It'll be interesting to see how Coogan plays his character now that he's done Philomena. I love the fact that some people genuinely thought Brydon had cheated on his wife in the second series.

How do they feel about the move of channels?
“Rob feels fine, I feel awkward,” Coogan says firmly, within ear of the Sky press officer. Brydon laughs. “Because you’re more nuanced?” he asks. “No,” Coogan says, “because I don’t like Rupert Murdoch.” Brydon leans back a little in his chair. “Whereas I … I adore the man. Listen, my thing is, if you’ve signed, it’s a bit disingenuous to then take the …” Coogan cuts him off: “Whereas I think it’s more dishonest to reverentially toe the line of your employer. The thing is, it’s not like we’re doing them a favour. We are providing them with ‘content’.” He picks the word up limply.
The series would have been on the BBC, Brydon explains, but the corporation wasn’t prepared to pay. “Essentially they wanted us to do it for less money than last time,” he says. “It’s a quality thing, and it seems like a very bad precedent to set, for everyone, making every programme, if you say, ‘We can give you the same thing for less money.’ Where does that end?”
Coogan smiles. “I wish more people watched Sky,” he says, more gently. “That’s another thing. But maybe they will when The Trip goes out.” He has, after all, already publicly labelled the show “Last of the Summer Wine for Guardian readers”. “It’s my theory that a lot of people who like The Trip are the very demographic who are resolutely non-Sky subscribers. So I think we might just be a cynical ploy by Sky to get them to adopt the platform. If they manage to do that I’ll be very impressed. But it wouldn’t sway me.”

I found that article about how no one watches Sky
Mid Morning Matters and other Partridge pieces was on Sky Atlantic, so it's not the first time he's done stuff on Sky in the recent history.
Bizarre for the BBC to supposedly offer less money for it.
I had seen "The Trip" several years ago, and instantly fell in love with the brilliant chemistry between Coogan and Brydon.
imagine my elation when I saw that there was a sequel waiting for me on Netflix... and the promise of a third installment.
I had no idea that this was a series in the UK... I just thought that it was meant to be a feature film.
no current comedic duo brings me unadulterated joy like these two.
such sophisticated, highbrow comedy... yet they're also not afraid to be silly.
I can't wait to see more.
Good interview with Coogan on Adam Buxton's podcast.
Yeah that was great, Coogan was in unusually relaxed form. Most interviews I've seen and heard with him, he's so spiky it's cringing to listen to.
That was a good interview actually. Not as good as the Buxton one with Louis Theroux where he just kept singing in falsetto for what seemed like hours and had me madly laughing on my evening walk home, but still pretty good.
I'm pretty certain "The Trip" was released as a film at some point, just all bunched together.
Yeah it was basically a highlights package of the first series
Adam Buxton is awesome
Didn't Adam and Joe go to uni with Theroux?
I'm not sure exactly where within my post the confusion lies... I clearly stated that I was previously under the impression that it was released solely as a film-- oblivious to it's original run as a series in the U.K.
I was just clarifying that the films were literally all 6 episodes at once. After the TV show, nothing else.
Chillax mate.
Wasn't trying to be a cock... I just don't get the confusion is all.
no biggie.
Although the first episode of this airs tomorrow, I noticed on the Sky website it looks like that the entire boxset will be available from the 13th.

No they weren't. I watched the first film on US Netflix and there was a good bit cut out. The films have run times of 112 and 108 minutes. So they are not the 6 episodes played back to back.
Turdy didn't say they were back to back, he said they were all at once. So it would have a running time of around 24 minutes and would be impossible to make out any of the dialogue
The whole series looks to be available now. I watched two episodes last night. Coogan appears to have lost a bit of weight. Cutting out the booze has his benefits.
Third episode in and I've enjoyed it so far. Same formula, different nonsensical chat. So easy to watch.
It's funny how they stick rigidly to the same formula and it remains so watchable. They know what works and don't feel the need to put a new spin on it.
Only seen the first episode so far but it seemed slight even compared to the previous series. Nothing happened and they didn't really talk about much, and the bleak weather means it doesn't even look particularly good. The impressions of Jagger doing an impression of Caine were great though, and I'll stick with it because there's still a charm to it.
I thought the same Simon, but it's clearly a setup episode for the rest once you get into Episode 2. So good.
It's still great and hasn't really changed.
Boshed through 5 episodes last night.
Never seen any of this before, but I've totally buggered my back at football and can't sleep so I think I'll smash a few out.
Just finished the third episode now and it's probably the best of this season so far. I know it's probably the most overused compliment of the show, but I honestly could watch half an hour of the same format every day and never get bored.
When they're walking down that hill towards the dinosaur, and Coogan makes a comment about footing and slips immediately, I must have rewatched that moment so many times. It's classic Partridge. So subtle.
