Does Steve Coogan have any connection to Ireland? The line “I’ve a friend in Killarney but you talk to me” with the wink and grin is too realistic to be dreamt up without some sort of Irish credentials?
The most perfect few minutes of telly ever.
The “It’s awful hot in here” was so spot on
Aych.
Haych.
Just so good on so many levels.

Both an Englishman, and yet somehow an Irish national treasure.
Coogan is one of the rare few who isn’t just fun or talented, but who we have been genuinely been blessed to have on our screens for the last 30 or so years. Nobody else could do what he has, the way he has.
It’s not just the accent which he nails. It’s all the little details. The ruddy face and I’m quite sure the costume design was not in-house BBC. Only an Irish person could both know and source such a farmers outfit. You can only get that stuff in a shop in a small town with yellow plastic film in the window to stop the sun bleaching the merchandise.

Don’t forget Steve Coogan on the day today as a Sinn Fein spokesperson under British TV news restrictions in the 90s 🙂
