Steve Coogan on Morrissey / The Smiths

''Sunshine'' - it started last Tuesday, 9pm BBC1.
Very good, written by Coogan and Craig Cash and his mate who wrote the excellent ''Early Doors''.
Caroline Aherne was briefly in it last night too. 'Yosser Hughes' plays his dad too.:)
He picked up Aherne in a pub and he was pissed, she offered him a lift home.... he asked if he could stop off for a kebab first.
The next scene he is waking up in bed in the morning.... Coogan turns over and says 'How are you Donna'? and then the camera pans out and there is his uneaten donna kebab on the side of the bed:D

Jukebox Jury

What a great show. The part when he goes into the betting shop - that's filmed at the end of my road and I never even knew.
 
Crikey - apparently the Liverpool show didn't go too well, according to the Daily Mail:

Steve Coogan booed as furious fans walk out of 'shambolic' stand-up comeback
By Graham Smith
17th October 2008

He is one of Britain's most beloved comedians who has succeeded where many others have failed and forged a successful career in Hollywood.

But it seems Steve Coogan has forgotten what made him so popular in the first place if the reaction to his first stand-up tour in a decade is anything to go by.

The 43-year-old creator of such seminal characters as Alan Partridge, Paul Calf and Tommy Saxondale was booed and heckled by furious fans at the Liverpool Echo Arena, many of whom walked out disgusted at the quality of two shows in the 10,000 seat arena.

Such was the ferocity of criticism directed Mr Coogan's way the website of the local Daily Post newspaper was swamped with correspondence from outraged ticket holders.
