Scary. Brydon and Coogan were a few years older than me when this came out. Now I'm comfortably older than they are in this first series. Not exactly a profound observation of the passage of time, but there you go.

Rob Brydon is like your slightly reclusive, but excitable, friend who doesn’t get out much and have much interaction with others, so when he does escape his enthusiasm and excitement at being able to converse with others can be somewhat overwhelming at best. Love him though!
I loved this film. I am not surprised that some of my fellow Americans didn't care for it. It's very subtle. I loved their Woody Allen. It was sooooo Woody.

@@helentowse4990 Ah, so he was correcting Rob’s impression as that’s what Alan Bennett would say, not because it’s actually grammatically correct. Gotcha!
It should be "me." Deconstructed, the sentence should go: Jonathan, that much cleverer than me. Coogan is being grammatically correct, but it's Brydon, in fact, who is making a statement about Alan bennett, implying that he is prone to hypercorrection, saying "I" because it sounds more traditional rather than actually correct.
Am I the only one who is re-watching this over and over rolling on the floor laughing by myself ? Aha !!!!!
This is probably the most casually hilarious comedy I have ever seen, but also the most calm and emotional and humane. It's perfect.
Holbeck Ghyll is humane??? lol
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Why are you replying to a comment I wrote literally ten years ago
@@JosephPage You mean after a certain period, comments become off-limits to reply? You sound like you're from Toronto or one of those places
@@RideAcrossTheRiver That's literally not what I said, I was asking a question. Toronto? What the fuck are you talking about?
the second one was bloody dull though
i fucking love "I'm Holbeck Ghyll... goodnight"
That James Mason is flawless! The Alan Bennett is just hilarious
Rob Brydon's Richard Burton is absolutely amazing
That Anthony Hopkins at the beginning is flawless. Bravo!
Alan Bennett impression = awesome
How dark it got at the end. Brilliant.

I dont think Im ever going to get bored of this show.
Brydon's Hopkins is unreal. Actually so is Coogan's.
Rob is so talented as is Steve !!
Absolutely priceless.

Holbeck Ghyll! You might at LEAST remember me from _Follyfoot_
Forgot Ken Bruce at 1:59!
And Rob Brydon's Bond...."I'll have a vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.. I need it now, don't make me wait...." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Ahahaha! I just watched this movie for the first time a few days ago. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen in a long time.
Lol I loved the Anthony Hopkins impression
Coogan’s James Mason is spot on.
Go to your room or I shall beat you.
“Honour and Obey!!!”
😂
I’d like to hear Brydon as Connery doing ‘Kubla Khan’ to ‘Modern Major General’s (patter) Song’, if possible before breakfast.
😂
His Hopkins is amazing
Ken Bruce impression...hilarious

Top comment 👏🏼
Ken Bruce impression is brilliant
Brydon seems to win more often than not though his Terry Wogan was Ken Bruce. Wish they'd surprise us by doing impressions of themselves.
Steve Coogan's James Mason. Fucken phenomenal
3:30 Such a good impression of Alan Partridge!!! Ahhaaaa :P
Go to your room or I shall beat you. OMG THE funniest line.
Robs parky impression was pretty good
Brydon's Ken Bruce is ridiculously good
Have to agree with Motherflange , the james mason is spot on, i'm, a fan of the late great star
I'd buy a walk-in bath on Holbeck Ghyll's recommendation
I think he is laughing when he's trying to drink the wine at the end there
Steve Coogan's impression of Alan Partridge is almost good
I love Rob Brydons Captain Bligh!!! It's spot on!
Steve is at another level. Rob mid table championship level.
What a charming girl! What a charming girl! What a charming girl!
Alan Bennett. Quite simply amazing
right as the video was ending i took a huge gulp of wine then "ah haaaa" half chocked then half vomited/spat wine all over my laptop. thanks steve.
There's method, in my, mad-ness!
hes fucking nailed Ken Bruce! spot on.
Terry Wogan by Rob was insane!!!!!!
It sounded like Ken Bruce.
Love the dueling impressions, but as American I don't have the people they are imitating.
The thing I hate about this is the LOUD EATING NOISES AHHHHH
What a charming gal
I would honor you sah! I would honor you in the restaurant sah!
I loved this film. I am not surprised that some of my fellow Americans didn't care for it. It's very subtle. I loved their Woody Allen. It was sooooo Woody.
3:30 is what your here for.
"...if you're worried about INTRUDERS..."

Brilliant
You feel Steve's pain at the impressions by about episode three!
I was going to ask how they don't laugh at each other when they're doing this, but then I remembered who they were...
True
Oh mam,
oh Alan
Brydon's Holly Johnson sounds too Richard Burton. He should revisit it.
My ribs are hurting ffs
Hopkins is brilliant
I wonder if they can do Isaac Newton? Man, that's a tough one.
1:26 amazing
Why does Coogan play so much on being annoyed with Rob Brydon?
@@RustyHistory-l9h did you click this video by accident?
Go back to Steptoe,my son....@ @@RustyHistory-l9h
Oil Drum Lane,Shepherds Bush,West London. Don't know the post code @ @@RustyHistory-l9h
That's part of his character. They're both playing versions of themselves
Perhaps because that's the way Michael Winterbottom directed him.
How could you miss out the scouser part!?
Coogan is a right miserable sod/ kill joy in this. Brydan's only trying to have a bit of fun.
They're both taking the piss
"Peter Dudley and me," is a very strong and good remonstrance. For what has Jonathan Miller done for the universe? We need a futile gesture, . . .
@mrJJ11 That was Ken Bruce..who's just a scottish Terry Wogan!! :-)
When they start oing off on one about an old person making their home fort knox
Sounds like Bryden started off with Burton. Love it!!
@Mebrice Depace Could've fooled me. In fact, it did. Still love it. 🍷
at 3:22 how is coogan not laughing his ass off?
Is that Burton or Hopkins at the begin? I hedge Burton.
Hopkins. They say so in the episode itself. They sound similar, but it's Hopkins who has a special talent for shouting.
1:45 is Steve right here to correct Rob’s grammar?
I think he may be intimidated by Rob and so he's complimenting him!
" and I " is the correct grammar but folk from Yorkshire would generally say " and me " . . .
@@helentowse4990 Ah, so he was correcting Rob’s impression as that’s what Alan Bennett would say, not because it’s actually grammatically correct. Gotcha!
James mason and then Alan Bennett, Wogan....
WRONGLY accused
(not according to the news of the world) 😕
What the hell is this???!! haha,I love it but do not know what is going on..a movie?Well,I am on part three now and it is great.Cheers.
Middle aged blokes being funny as fuck, that's what it is.
Coogan is a genius
From the BBC television show 'The Trip'. Check it out - it's brilliant.
It's amazing.
loool
0 dislikes yay
they are so good
Anthony Hopkins
ahhh- HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
It may be an uncomfortable experience.
What is the impression that starts at 1:26?
Alan Bennett
@@marcwilding4804 from 9 years later, thank you! Still love this series just as much as I did back then.
It should be "me." Deconstructed, the sentence should go: Jonathan, that much cleverer than me. Coogan is being grammatically correct, but it's Brydon, in fact, who is making a statement about Alan bennett, implying that he is prone to hypercorrection, saying "I" because it sounds more traditional rather than actually correct.
Ahaaaa!!
omg my grandad was friends with james mason
hes called wilf lunn
Joyce!
Coogan was just implying that Alan Bennett (the guy Brydon is impersonating) would have said "me" rather than "I".
@mrjoeington Alan Bennett
No Coogans right. you remove the second person
Who is he doing at 00:15?
He's still doing an Anthony Hopkins impression, just more specifically Hopkins as a shouting Captain Bligh from The Bounty.
@@JRRLewis you are the man thanks
Mutiny on bounty is a fantastic film
Damn your eyes, you turned your back on me Sir
@MrGingerCakes you two are a clever pair
Aaa haaaa
Anyone know exactly what Rob actually says when he does Alan Bennett? Sounds like “elf in sexuality”
Elfin sexuality
AHOH!
@waky803 Alan bennett
sean connery
Go to your room or I shall beat you. (I'd HTML that with James Mason's voice, but youtube is too poor to let people have fun).
Sean Connery?
At 0.51 who is Rob doing a impression of? xD
Nunfluff Sean Connery
who is the first impression of?
Anthony Hopkins
and you know that because you know them personally?
Did you watch 'The Trip'? I'm guessing not...
Coogan does the better Mason.
see the only difference between Steve and Rob is thier ego...
James mason
