Steve Coogan does Sean Connery impression Alan Titchmarsh: 'Go on, do your Sean Connery!' This reminds me of the Alan Partridge radio show where he interviewed Patrick Marber playing an impressionist. Classic Coogan.
But we don't mind Stevo, cos you did something so much more important for the lives of us Alan fans waiting in the wings for something none of could have seeing coming. The most genius character in Brighton comedy since....... Eric Morcame.
I used to go watch Steve quite a bit during the early 90s. Still, in my humble opinion, the best impressionist out there. Good bloke too. Always ready to chat to fans.
That is, absolutely first class impressionism. It's very, very good. It's... it's a bit like when you go to a pub, have a lovely roast dinner with Yorkshire pudding, and just to really 'kick it up a notch', there's a truly excellent covers band playing Level 42.
Amazing! To my shame, even as a massive Alan Partridge fan, I had never heard of/come across Coogan doing impressions, had no idea. What an extraordinary talent.
His Neil Kinnock shouting at a waiter, an impression he did for Chris Morris to try and spoof a Sunday Newspaper was incredible. It’s here on TH-cam somewhere
Back in the mid-1970s, I used to relish missing school through illness, etc, just so I could watch Pebble Mill at One. Daytime TV has never been the same.
He probably never imagined how successful he was going to be at this point. That he would be a serious actor and fantastic comedian not to mention the characters he would create. Top man 👌
Steve, you’re a cracking good impressionist. I always liked your shows and despite what some people have said I thought you were outstanding in saville.
It’s always the oddest thing an impressionist just sitting there while people say “do xxxxx…”. The audiences tend to appear rather uncomfortable, and the pressure to make your impression ALSO funny is huge. Steve does a few really well but it’s an interesting point about the puppets doing the work on Spitting Image, Then your brain hears the rest.
You may remember the Alan Partridge radio chat show Knowing me Knowing You where a young impressionist is a guest and Partridge goes through a list of people he wants the guy to impersonate.
@@thankyoudriver4219 I do totally forgotten that!! I remember stumbling across its predecessor On The Hour and being totally taken in for about 10-15 mins. Such was our naivety then!
Crazy to think that Alan Partridge hadn't been imagined in to existence here. Coogan and Partridge are almost symbiotic so seeing one without the other is just bizarre for me as a life long Alpha Papa fan
I imagine that Rory Bremner was quaking in his boots watching this. Top class impressions. Mike Yarwood's career was already mostly over by this stage.
Never seen an impressionist able to move so quickly from one impression to another. They usually require a moment or two to gather themselves, reset for the next one. Coogan, instantly, on cue. A quick mind, that one.
A bit before this, maybe '88 or '89, I saw Coogan on a Granada late-night thing called 'Stand-Up' which I recorded on video at the time (now lost). People like Jeff Green, Rob Newman and Craig Ferguson were on it. The latter now a big-time U.S. talk show host. Coogan did Brian Glover (Tetley make tea bags, make tea). Anyone got a copy of that?
Theres an episode of knowing me knowing you that features Patrick Marber, i think, as an impressionist and Partridge is doing the same thing as here, do your Frank Spencer etc. Wonder if this appearance had anything to do with it.

Give this guy a second series
😂😂😂
monkey tennis?
Smell my cheese
He needs to lap dance for it.
@@matt3719The game show Skirmish, surely!
You can see Coogan creating the character of Alan Partridge in real time as he watches Alan Titchmarsh
There's certainly a moment or 2 here when Alan is going a bit Partridge
Alan Titchmarsh writes novels?!
@@Francoberry yes he does. Wrote a few.
John Inverdale was the original model for Partridge, although I imagine that Titchmarsh contributed to the character as well.
also wally webb from bbc radio norfolk@@anonUK
Alan Titchmarsh is often mentioned by SC as one of the influences for the creation of Alan Partridge. One wonders if he was taking notes here!
It looks like he was it was like he was almost trying not to laugh when he looked at him lol
Alan Titchmarsh writes novels?
Titchmarsh is nothing like Partridge,
I don’t agree he’d go to Legoland
Massive amount of the legend that is: Richard Medley
Steve Coogan was middle aged even back in his early twenties 😆
He's autistic. Probably answers your question.
he was a party boy coogan
Steve Coogan does Sean Connery impression
Alan Titchmarsh: 'Go on, do your Sean Connery!'
This reminds me of the Alan Partridge radio show where he interviewed Patrick Marber playing an impressionist. Classic Coogan.
Alan Titchmarsh = Alan Partridge
But can he do small man trapped in a box?
😂 that's Rob Brydon isn't it
She was only 17
He absuleteky CAN'T!! THE TRIP addresses this delicate issue with tact. 😂😂
But we don't mind Stevo, cos you did something so much more important for the lives of us Alan fans waiting in the wings for something none of could have seeing coming. The most genius character in Brighton comedy since....... Eric Morcame.
And more specifically, a small AMERICAN man trapped in a box
I used to go watch Steve quite a bit during the early 90s. Still, in my humble opinion, the best impressionist out there. Good bloke too. Always ready to chat to fans.
The Trip is one of my favourite coogan shows can watch it again and again
Can always find something great like this on BBC Archive.

A Partridgism right rhere!
Excellent banter
😂
Lovely stuff
Back of the net.
And he became so much more. Looove Coogan. Alan Partridge is my favorite comedic character ever
Love Steve Coogan. Got to meet him at one of his book signings as Alan Partridge. My life was made lol!
Fair play to Steve Coogan. He has done alot for British comedy, his production company has given alot of comedians their big break.
I hope not, Big Break was awful, Jim Davidson.
Yes, I went to his Production Company for a job and they threw me down the stairs.
He does a great Alan partridge impersonation
Have never heard Ben Elton done so accurately!
The man with the child in his eyes
I can see a bright future for this kid
Coogan looks and dresses exactly like a student from 1990.. I was the same!
I still am
I was a student in 1990, and I approve this message.
I love Paul Calf and ofcourse Alan Partridge. Coogan's so funny and talented, he makes it look easy.
The bloke impersonating Alan Titchmarsh is quite good.
He’s always been such a phenomenal talent…….
@@matt01506 No. Phenomenal is correct.
@@matt01506 I expect your mum must be wondering where she went wrong with you?

@@matt01506 YAWN…….rite on man……you made that up all on your own……??
@@matt01506 "muh liberals are the devil", try to dip your brain into holy water, son.
Definitely deserves a second series.
Amazing to see him starting out here. Woe he really went on to be a household name didn't he. Such an amazing comedian and straight actor too
I remember this like it was 33 years ago
you’re never gonna believe this but
Do ya Hattersly!
Amazing! To my shame, even as a massive Alan Partridge fan, I had never heard of/come across Coogan doing impressions, had no idea. What an extraordinary talent.
Have you not seen "The Trip" with Rob Brydon, very funny with loads of impressions... quite a lot here on TH-cam
@@skeezoideluxe thank you! No I haven't but I will go in search of that on TH-cam shortly this evening. Appreciate the recommendation, thank you!
You must be young then. When I was at school that was the first thing he was known for!
@@baronmeduse ha ha I wish that were true, I'm 39 but thank you! No I was just ignorant in this case, I had been missing out!
You're not ignorant.

That is tremendous!
Haha i remember that, get me a bloody drink😂😂 remember morris put on a Wakefield accent to try and sell it to the daily mail 😂😂
@@DB-pv2ej "How much would you pay for this tasty morsel?"
He does an Amazing Alan Partridge impression, hate to say it, but his Saville is tremendous.
Absolutely gifted
Mike Yarwood and Phil Cool. That takes me back.
These are excellent. Never knew he did so many.
You need to watch the Trip.
Brian Turner patiently waiting for his spot to begin at 5:46
Lol
I remember Steve from his early impressionist days. Loved his career ever since.
This is great banter!
It really is.
Steve was 25 years old here on this appearance on Pebble Mill in 1990 - I wonder if he had any idea how far he would come?
Probably. Most guys know the maximum distance of their ejaculate.
Over 30 years later he’s playing Jimmy Savile.
This studio was right next to my house ... amazing... they should've kept it
@@djjeevz2139 BBC have a habit of selling off their studios
i wonder what happened to the power pack
Back in the mid-1970s, I used to relish missing school through illness, etc, just so I could watch Pebble Mill at One. Daytime TV has never been the same.
It seemed to go on for hours …
He probably never imagined how successful he was going to be at this point. That he would be a serious actor and fantastic comedian not to mention the characters he would create. Top man 👌
He did the voice of jimmy savile on spitting image at the time too
Savile. Only one l :)
Its Saville
@@aerialexplorer772arsehole
He did his Savile impression in front of Jimmy Savile in one clip somewhere on TH-cam, as weird as that is.
@@gaztambo139 😬
Classic , good times when people on day time tv had actual real talent
Titchmarsh? Turn it up...
There’s a bit in radio 4 series of KMKY where Partridge interviews a young edgy comedian who does voices for spitting image.
That's great banter, it really was.
Lovely stuff, not my words - but the words of Shakin’ Stevens
Lovely stuff
He didn’t say, “The name’s Bond. Jones the Bond. Double O th-even. Licensed to kill-ch!”
One of those Welsh ones!
Stop getting bond wrong!!
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are an English electronic band formed in Wirral, Merseyside, in 1978.

@@ThatCoalSoulGlenn Kitson has confirmed that this was Andy McCluskey impersonating Steve Coogan
🤣
That was the best Steve Coogan impression I ever heard.
He’s not bad, hope it works out well for him 👍🏻
Well, he had briefly found success around this time fronting the pop duo The Pet Shop Boys.
@@petergivenbless900more like Soft Cell
Ohh Ruddy hell...
His voice hasn't changed a tick
Classic reluctant yet confident British sense of humor...
Humour
You can see AP in the way he was talking even then 😆
feeling the pressure. sweating like mad
4:00 it's Brian Bandonde from face jacker
Steve, you’re a cracking good impressionist. I always liked your shows and despite what some people have said I thought you were outstanding in saville.
Looks like his eyebrows were warming up for that Sean Connery impression long before he did it.
When I say ‘impressionist’, you of course think of Sully Bitcup, Lars Blikksberg, Wonka B. Hammerhead and Miriam Miriam Henchworthy.
He did the partridge laugh/snort at the start of the interview 😂
Someone should give this guy his own show, a lot of potential here.
Lovely stuff.
Could this be the moment Alan Partridge was conceived?

He basically sent himself up in this, in the radio original version of KMKY with Alan Partridge, probs only a couple of years after this.
Seems quite talented, I hope he makes it in the business.
That was the best thing...since sliced bread!!
He's very smooth...
Shame we didn’t hear from him ever again. He’d have been good on the radio.
Wow, he looks so young. I'm always interested in seeing other people's impressions!
He'll be famous one day
What a talent.
Hes incredible in stan and ollie
The Micheal Caine instantly brought ' The Trip ' to mind
Crazy to think that Alan Partridge hadn't been imagined in to existence here. Coogan and Partridge are almost symbiotic so seeing one without the other is just bizarre for me as a life long Alpha Papa fan
3:28 "sorry, "spidding?"" Alan wouldn't like that...
You're a complenm cunm!!

It's a young Alan Partridge!
Yes.. It’s an extender!!
Alan Tithead,
Excellent upload
FINALLY an Edward Fox!
Idea for a light hearted twee midday programme...
It’d be cheap to make and if you don’t do it, ITV will.
Monkey Tennis?
This guy seems cool and funny, I think he will go far.
😂😂😂This guy ended up on an obscure radio station in the 90s.
Needless to say, he never bounced back.
Never seen an impressionist able to move so quickly from one impression to another. They usually require a moment or two to gather themselves, reset for the next one. Coogan, instantly, on cue.
A quick mind, that one.
This Steve Coogan lad could go far with the proper guidance and concentration
Never knew Robbie Fowler could do impressions.
😂
Lol
Just considerably more better looking. 🤭
This is at Pebble Mill which isnt there now!
amazingly good
Incredible
Prebble mill studio Was demolished Around 2015 or 2016 I think
Thank goodness for Steve Coogan and Nallons. Until then we had Mike Yarwood doing impersonations of Mike Yarwood
Sounds like half the script of The Trip had been written by this point.
"Do your Wogan for us!"
“I set out to be an actor after drama school” was delivered with exactly the same intonation as so many Partridge lines.
Lovely stuff. Not my words...
Top gear magazine?
Steve being loyal here and opting for the Joe Bloggs Manc jeans brand 🙂

A lot of it also goes back to the radio show
Omg we're all so old now aren't we 🤣😭

Awh man, I hope this guy appears on more stuff.
Brilliant.
Mark my words, nothing will come of this man.
Hi la Ben Elton impression sounded similar to 1 of his future characters
Oh my God, Alan Partridge is just him hahahahh
Wow, he looks much better now as an older man.
Some people 'grow' into their faces, I think.
