Tim Key is an absolutely lovely man. I worked at a theatre a few years ago where he performed a one man stand up show. Some of staff who had worked the show had a few beers with him afterwards. He was kind, humble, showed interest in all of us, laughed at our jokes and was a pleasure to spend a few hours with. I met a lot of household names in that job and many were either aloof, rude, demanding, self-important and plenty of other negative things, but Tim was none of those. I’ll always look out for what he’s up to and follow his career because of how nice, as well as talented, he is.
Mid Morning Matters was superb - locked off cameras, very minimal, Steve doing Partridge, and the icing on this car crash of hugely embarrassing moments was Tim’s ‘Sidekick Simon.’ The chemistry was just brilliant.
Tim Key's Late Night Poetry programme is a jewel of a show. Perfection. Just got Chapters and the two lockdown books are outstanding. Honourable mentions from below the line for No More Jockeys. Tim is so much more than a sidekick!
@@00tommo First episode was 12 years ago. 12!! Someone else below the line said there was a new series coming. I haven't found any information on it, but, it would be welcome.
The last two series have been....not so good. The first three I think are as near to perfect that I've ever heard. Did you ever hear "down the line"? That's brilliant also (not Tim key tho).
@@jimbobbby Correct, the bar was set high with the first three. Episodes were shorter and tighter at 15 minute rather than the near 30 for series 4/5. Extra mention for 'Tim Key's Suspended Sentence'. Down the line was BRILLLLIANT! I think it lives on in Colin from Portsmouth. Love to the family!
Tim Key is one of my favourite comedians.. He's got it all. Timing, funny bones, and a unique perspective on life. Naturally funny. His placement of silence is impeccable. His poems are incredible.
It’s so rare to come across somebody with a unique comic voice. I watch the Witchfinder series practically on repeat just to marvel again and again at Tim Key’s performance and perfect timing.
its quite wholesome to see rob brydon who is a friend and contemporary of steve coogan acting like one of us fans of the show would, and just want to repeat your favourite lines when you meet somebody from it, i really think mid morning matters is one of the funniest british comedies of the past 15 years or so, him explaining the muppets mouth to the kid and talking with the SAS guy is my best
Key's character on Saxondale wasn't selling timeshares but asks Tommy if he's considered consolidating his credit card debts. Tommy replied, "No, but I've thought about caning them all into the red then faking my own death."
Tim's delivery is just sublime to me. I could just watch him for hours. As Sidekick Simon, as a Taskmaster contestant, doing his poetry. He's just fantastic.
That was lovely, I could listen to those two all night. As to Steve Coogan, his talent knows no bounds - just look at the Stan and Ollie film. To channel the essence of one of the greatest comic actors so thoroughly that you forget you're watching an impersonation and go away feeling like you've seen the real thing. He is definitely up there with the likes of Stan Laurel himself as one of our top performers.
Anyone else find this man wildly attractive? In so many ways? Just sitting there in his footie gear. No pretentiousness just wonderful wit and humour and humility. He's a total one off. Good luck to him.
@@berrinozcan6803 I can not overstate how much joy it gives me to see a Turkish person here joining in the Tim Key praise! Was really wondering whether I was his only fan in Turkiye! 😭😭😭
The scene in This Time they are talking about with the interactive screen is just brilliant. The bit where he looks looking for the phone calls, and he gets to a screen where every icon is a phone 📱📞☎️ is sublime. We are lucky to have such brilliant people making comedy
the most brilliant and most funny thing I ever seen was Alan during a bit of improv saying "hey there baby girl" and the look on Tim's face totally cracked me up. Good team work and the camera to get Tims look was so clever. Priceless.
I think the Kathy Burke thing was "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", a differemnt Abba lyric :). As for money films there is "The Color of Money", a sequel to "The Hustler" with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise...
@ 10:45 when Rob says Coogan had an advance DVD of Saxondale and made him watch it while he watched his face, and Tim Key says "ooh!", are they implying that Saxondale wasn't very good, or just that Rob expected to be doing something more exciting on Sunset Boulevard? I enjoyed Saxondale - I thought it was very good, not quite Partridge level, but well worth watching.
The biggest compliment I ever heard paid to Tim Key was from Steve Coogan himself. He said Tim's funny but he doesn't know how he's funny, and that because he fails to be able to pinpoint this it intrigues him.
Can we get a new The Trip with Steve Coogan, Tim Key, Rob Brydon and James Acaster?! I have all the seasons and absolutely love this show! If that trip goes ahead...please can I come along?!!
I was racking my brain as to why that voice was so familiar, and then it clicked. He sounds like Nick Mohammed, and I Just recently binged Ted Lasso. I've seen Tim first, but watching this now, just makes it clear!🤯😂
Whenever I hear Pinter mentioned I always think back to when I used to listen Derek and Clive (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore`s hilariously filthy alter egos). “Prick in the hands of Pinter is pure gold
Tim key as Mushki… the new slave on Plebs was wonderful. Also. I think Tim should bring Tom Basden with him everywhere he goes to play a musical accompaniment when he speaks.
"I don't know any fashion words!" "Lynn wears a coat that was advertised with the words STRONG COAT FOR SALE" That wonderful scene with Seb Cardinal in This Time is so wonderful.
@@ceriannalflorencina8297 have we maybe watched that scene more than the necessary amount? The bit where Simon awkwardly feels the fabric and pronounces it to be "decent"...😂
Quite enchanting and an excellent guest. That Technology part of the show with Partridge was hilarious...Partridge a late substitute Presenter a la "One Show" introduces a "rare, special talent" that he has discovered and introduces "Simon" to the Narion amidst glowing praise and, gradually, thru Simon's total ineptitude gets more and more embarrassed by his "find" and cuts the segment,to which Simon enquires if he can still do the weather later and Coogan gives him the darkest look imaginable. Brilliant!
The answer is of course Rob Brydon, whose voice appeared alongside those of Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan in the classic Robbie the Reindeer: Legend of the Lost Tribe.
Ben Stiller and Simon Pegg have worked with both Coogan and Gervais. In fact they were both in Night at the Museum 2 so anyone in that cast. Gervais had a small part in Spaced so that’s the Pegg connection.

This is great banter! It really is...!
I see what you did there!! 😁
are you on an E?!
But not too informal; it's not Nigel Pinsent's "In Depth" but neither is it Wally Banter's "Junk-Box"
..That's humour...
BOTN
Tim Key is genuinely just so naturally fun, just his demeanor and the way he speaks is entertaining.
just a shame he didn't do much talking - Rob wouldn't shut up.... Frustrating.
@@ItsSafehands he talks more in the full podcast.
His cameo in Life's too short is hilarious and I think he has got a handle on things 😜
Yeah... It's almost poetic.

I think I am turning into a massive Tim Key fan just by watching this... what a lovely man!
I've been a massive fan since he was on Taskmaster. Can't believe that was almost a decade ago. 🤯
I was only vaguely aware of him prior to No More Jockeys with Alex Horne and Matt Watson. That made me a fan and now I'll watch anything he's in.

@@jlc7841 Yep!
I agree I love Witchfinder.....brilliant cast......but Tim Key was superb
Tim Key is truly a unique comedy voice
I have never seen anybody nail comedic timing and subtle facial expression as Tim Key did with Sidekick Simon. Thank you
Fantastic interview. Excellent chipping-in.
Those little moments Rob pointed out are brilliant , Tim is absolutely perfect for his role…. Love it.
Also, make sure you listen to The Adam Buxton Podcast episode 77 with Tim Key, one of the all time great podcast episodes!
His off menu episode is hilarious too

My favourite one of these yet, Tim's a gem!
I think his performances in Cowards was very understated. Very cool guy.
Tim Key interviewing Simon Amstell 12 years ago,on You Tube is golden,like this.
The way Simon and Tim bounce of each other is superb.
Tim is amazing! And Chapters is great. Get his lockdown books too. Very on point and hilarious.
The subtle 'I've got about 4" at 6'02" is hilarious. Even Brydon missed it.
“Are you an anecdotalist?”

Martin freeman has worked with Gervais on the Office and Coogan on Hot Fuzz
Yes and Joanna Page and Jenna Ortega I hear.
Spent about an hour trying to think of someone...
Ben Stiller as well - in same film - night in the museum
Larry David too.
Simon Pegg: Ricky Gervais was in spaced, and Simon Pegg was in Alan partridge
An extra lovely element of this is Tim wrote an article for the independent about how much he loves holding hands 2:24

Mid Morning Matters is the best Partridge and Sidekick Simon is a big part of that.
I love the idea of Carey Mulligan winning an Oscar and then saying, “I must do a film with that chap from No More Jockeys.”
carey mulligan gorgeous and refined.
This is such a warm conversation. Affable and garrulous.
Robs face when Tim asks him if he's ever done straight up stand up! Lol then tracks back with the "I saw you at Edinburgh" 😆
A chipper in... Yes. A special talent unto itself.
Tim's best delivered line "Which Muppet?"😅😅😅😅
Tim Key was brilliant on taskmaster!
MMM was probably peak partridge - every episode was flawless
From the Oasthouse is pretty vintage stuff too
1st series was incredbile@@awesomefrankrapid
Ben Stiller. Gervais and Coogan were both in Night at the Museum.
And Ben Stiller worked with them both separately. Gervais in Extras, and Coogan in Tropic Thunder.
Absolutely loved all of this and, especially, the first 4 minutes which were golden but a lovely Podcast.
Thank You.
The biggest compliment I ever heard paid to Tim Key was from Steve Coogan himself. He said Tim's funny but he doesn't know how he's funny, and that because he fails to be able to pinpoint this it intrigues him.
Became an instant fan when I first saw him as Gerry, Jez’s replacement in Peep Show. He was like Jim Howick. Comedy and acting guns.
David Mitchell was in the film Greed with Steve Coogan and co-wrote the sketch show Bruiser with Ricky Gervais.
I've shared a pint with Tim Key, a ruddy nice bloke
Did you hold hands?

Saw Tim at the fringe in 2010. He was actually very good.
For me, Mid Morning Matters is peak Partridge, and Tim Key as Simon was obviously a huge part of that. A very talented comedy actor.
Tim key as Mushki… the new slave on Plebs was wonderful.
Also. I think Tim should bring Tom Basden with him everywhere he goes to play a musical accompaniment when he speaks.
I love the offbeat pace of Tim Key's delivery. Always surprising.
Tim playing a local tv journalist trying to interview Warwick Davis on Life’s Too Short is still some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen.
I was watching that episode last night!
The aggression!
Hope he was less abusive to the A Team van.
Probably the most underrated series of all time. Like Darkplace it seems to be getting new appreciation.
I’ve always wondered, if he was calling Warwick a midget; did he call the A Team van black?
A midgeophobe and a van racist.
Excellent stuff.
Diane Morgan - the person Rob & Tim couldn't think of who has worked with both Coogan and Gervais is Diane Morgan.
I love her.
Great to Timkey, a shame he didn't play his magic flute
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme was the sitcom with Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus not Money, Money, Money
Thank god someone also heard this and corrected them 🙏
What a lovely chat
The first 5 minutes were like an episode of between 2 ferns
THE WITCHFINDER! 🤣👌
Possibly the greatest video ever made, and the camera work is truly world class.

Lynn, idea for spinoff podcast ‘Trousers Off With Rob Brydon’ oh and can you collect my dry cleaning.
26:07 - It wasn't Money Money Money. It was Gimme Gimme Gimme, lads.
The Kathy Burke/James Dreyfus series wasn't called money money money, it was called Gimme Gimme Gimme so Tim can use money money money.
This is golf, i mean gold...apart from the absence of cork glass mats, good job.
9:55 Does Rob no longer favor the long sock?
Tim Key has worked with both Coogan and Gervais
And that's how you end a great podcast...
check out Simon key in a fantastic short film, called Wonderdate. Such a talented and nice guy
LOVE Wonderdate. So funny, heartfelt and gorgeously filmed too.
Please have Tom Basden on next Mr Brydon ❤
Tim has this bizarre ability to get more out of the interviewer than the interviewer gets out of him. He did the same thing to Richard Herring
