Just started watching 'The Reckoning' on iplayer and Steve's performance is incredible. I also like how they repeatedly switch between modern times and flashbacks to the past. (now, then, now, then)
I'm really enjoying watching some of these older RHLSTPs, despite having already listened to the audio versions back when they came out. You get a different take on them when you can see the guests and Richard. You can see a certain comedic affection between the two in this one, which is really nice.
These podcasts are a real highlight of my week. I took my girlfriend to see the Michael Legge/ Richard Osman interviews, and sensibly didn't sit near the front. Thank you Richard!
Great interview, Richard. Good mix of silly and serious. Thanks, Rich for making these available for free now. I'll send a bit of money your way soon, though!
It's a bit of a drag being of a similar age as these guys but being from the US so missing so much shared history before the advent of the WWW. Listening to these comrades (same with Rob Brydon on RHLSTP) chat about the early days of stand-up in Britain I regret not going to GB after college in the 80s. Thatcher not withstanding.
Really interesting candid interview from Coogan, he's naturally fucking hilarious and it's nice to hear him admit to having a shady past in the cocaine use. He seems like a fun guy.
40:10 I seem to remember Jasper Carrott telling the "If you give him a biscuit, he might let you" anecdote. I can't remember if he attributed it to Mike Harding though.
I just happened to catch this with subtitles on... which is as amusing as the dialogue. I'm sure the dog wouldn't let him - after been given a chalky vicky!
Just re-watched this and i think it's one of my fave interviews you've done Rich ( Greg Davies still number 1 ). Not only is Steve really fucking funny but he answers pretty much every question honestly and direct and it's never awkward, he just comes across as a guy who's genuinely like-able and admits his flaws and doesn't mine making light of the situation or himself.
Doing a bit of a RHLSTP (RHLSTP!) retrospective. Very enjoyable. Also happy that the success of the emergency questions now means that Rich isn't asking the same ones each show. I'm especially happy that the human centipede question is gone. Not because it's not funny, I'm just more squeamish in my middle age.
Steven Whiting that was funny but I think that character had run it's course but I was a fan of Ernest, think it was the live n lewd video (remember videos lol)
Steve Coogan is you or I (me). He's Nigel Tufnel. A bloke who could be very good at something, and then got very well paid for being good at it. I'd have been snorting dwarves & fighting sharks too but my life ventured elsewhere
It's just struck me that Coogan at this point looks and sounds like Peter Cook would if he were a mere human as opposed to a fully-realized god*. So this was extremely enjoyable, especially since Richard seems totally at ease with him and converses like they are old friends, as opposed to some of the more out-there guests like Stewart Lee... *(And if he were alive, as I suppose I must add.)
Great interview. Loved this as well as the Louis Theroux episode. Also - so refreshing to see someone with fame and respect answering comments - most read the comments but pretend they don't.
Did Steve use Rich's 'barefeet bit' in this to form the bit in Nomad where Partridge meets Steve Backshall walking in barefeet for charity? Have you got your fee for this, Rich?
Sexy Steve coogan a thoroughly charming man. Iove how he picks apart comedy and almost seems to educate herring about the way write jokes. Hah His laughter is infectious too, good to see him 'avin a laff'
40:00 "Its just not possible." There was a supposedly sex education programme that I watched a decade or so ago where they filmed a man actually doing that, and he wasn't particularly Endowed. It wasn't clear whether he'd used Yoga or sheer persistence.
I'm watching this at three in the morning thinking how funny Coogan is and around the world in eighty days comes on the television. Oh well. You can't be funny all the time.

Steve has such a great laugh, I love that Richard made him laugh so much. I've watched this countless times, great interview!

A daring structure known as a dual narrative
Yes I have just watched it and I really admire Steve's performance I was hooked.
Good gag. And I nearly did.
Coogan's Paul and Pauline Calf's video diaries are one of the most underrated things he's ever done
My family and i have watched "around the world in 80 days" so many times over the years, really cherishing this glimpse in on the grapes

Thank you Richard!
Leicester Square; excellent facilities
As had the Nazis
Steve is the defacto cool comedian whose work has always had the power to captivate us all throughout the modern era. 💖
I was in the audience for this, I'm literally watching just to see if I can hear my horrible laugh.
i heard you, spoilt the whole interview
@QuickQuickSlowSlow55 Oh, it was *that* guy? Poor fella! One more strike and he is out!
This is just wonderful. Thank you Richard for sharing it !
I bloody love Steve Coogan.
bloody saxondale is the best.
Have watched this interview over 20 times...better than any current comedy show on tv or film or online
Loved this. Steve is such a legend, the britcom confessions made me laugh, nice to know there's others like me who find him super attractive.
he's dreamy
Yup
You dirty little bitch, Steph.
It's great banter, it really is
Great interview, Richard. Good mix of silly and serious. Thanks, Rich for making these available for free now. I'll send a bit of money your way soon, though!
Love Steve! Nice to hear him genuinely laugh out loud 😍
Yeah he often comes across as a bit stand offish in interviews but seemed to actually enjoy this!
It's a bit of a drag being of a similar age as these guys but being from the US so missing so much shared history before the advent of the WWW. Listening to these comrades (same with Rob Brydon on RHLSTP) chat about the early days of stand-up in Britain I regret not going to GB after college in the 80s. Thatcher not withstanding.
I love Steve so much. So talented. So multifaceted. Him and Armando great heroes of mine.
Steve, why did you not get involved in The Thick Of It?
He was pretty prominent in “In the Loop”.
Really interesting candid interview from Coogan, he's naturally fucking hilarious and it's nice to hear him admit to having a shady past in the cocaine use. He seems like a fun guy.
Great interview, these are pretty addictive.
He was filming a couple of weeks ago in Llandudno, Wales for a program about Savile.
what a superb, excellent interview....
40:10 I seem to remember Jasper Carrott telling the "If you give him a biscuit, he might let you" anecdote. I can't remember if he attributed it to Mike Harding though.
Strikes me that Coogan would look good in a moustache
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Very funny, thanks!
This is great banter, it really is...
Knowing me, Richard Herring, knowing you, Steve Coogan, a-ha.
A-ha.
How did he not start with that
@@oliver7901 oôoikłołkokjpn
See you in Strasbourg
That cracked me up. Well done. 😂😂😂
I enjoyed this interview so much I've tried to "like" it on three separate occasions
Steve Coogan doesn't work on the short form chat show formula (not much does these days). He's great here.
I just happened to catch this with subtitles on... which is as amusing as the dialogue. I'm sure the dog wouldn't let him - after been given a chalky vicky!
Just as I thought it couldn't get any better ... "blind beggars"
Love your interview show Richard.
"Ghost Train" - oh thank you for brightening my shit Friday mersewer Herring.

"Where do you get your crazy ideas from?" He steals them from you Rich! He steals them from you...
I agree
Lovely stuff.
Doing a bit of a RHLSTP (RHLSTP!) retrospective. Very enjoyable. Also happy that the success of the emergency questions now means that Rich isn't asking the same ones each show. I'm especially happy that the human centipede question is gone. Not because it's not funny, I'm just more squeamish in my middle age.
Bloody loving these...
oh alan, stop pretending to be steve.
Great interview!
1:00:57 - bit of Alan coming through there haha
That was the faster hour I've ever witnessed.
I liked the safety guy character he did :) only seen him do it once.
Ernest Moss? He was brilliant did you see Coogans run?
lickstickly Yeah wasn't that keen on Coogans run. Like the Ernest Moss when he did it at his standup instead.
Steven Whiting that was funny but I think that character had run it's course but I was a fan of Ernest, think it was the live n lewd video (remember videos lol)
40 minutes in, i finally realized who he reminded me of. Doesn´t he sound a bit like Peter Cook?
I haven't watched this yet. But it's great.
Bigfoot in the Six Million Dollar Man was played by deceased wrestler Andre the Giant. I just googled it, so you don't have to.
How about if we're very distrustful & feel the need to check?
Top notch interview
i want to go for a pint with coogan
rett butler...haha! excellent!
Steve Coogan is you or I (me). He's Nigel Tufnel. A bloke who could be very good at something, and then got very well paid for being good at it. I'd have been snorting dwarves & fighting sharks too but my life ventured elsewhere

*(And if he were alive, as I suppose I must add.)
aaahaaaaa fantastic.......brilliant.....his madness is like we all are..thank goodness.
These two got me through sinusitis-based insomnia last week...
There was a character on Brookside called Alan Partridge
Great ☺ Entertaining ☺
Stewart Lee actually says that there were different comedians pictures on the wall, but enough of which where of him to make it weird.
absolute gold
That one was class
So long as he wasn’t in my eye line.
Brilliant
I remember him from the short films on the krypton factor
All the way through that interview, I was racking my brains thinking who Richard reminds me of - Charley Boorman, innit.
SLRist His face is a lot less red.
Great interview. Loved this as well as the Louis Theroux episode.
Also - so refreshing to see someone with fame and respect answering comments - most read the comments but pretend they don't.
Brilliant
so was it this that put the final nail in your metro column's coffin
why did they fall out with Marber?
The only time I've picked up a copy of the Metro was to put it on top of some vomit on the seat of the tube...
Just saying ☺
1:04:16 is so Partridge. I can just imagine that line on Mid Morning Matters.
This is a top business aid!
he looks like prince charles
That little grin after releasing "Paul Dacre is a cunt". That little grin which says "yes, I worded that fucking brilliantly". And that he did.
Jack Grove According to wikipedia, Daily Mail editorial meetings are called "the vagina monologues" because of Dacre's constant use of the c-word.
surley if you see steve coogan in the street you just repeatly shout Dan, Dan, Dan....
Vaped some marijuana, slept very well, woke up not crisp. Ill give the full cbd oil a whirl.
@Brain Davison Adam and I have youtube history, my comment wasn't just a non-sequitur. But I appreciate the sentiment
Bring Steve back in some form as Tony Wilson again
I just want him to getting hounded by the members of the The Wake for money and hearing their song Joke Shop while driving home.
"you shouldn't take the piss out of.. blind beggars" words to live by
Given all he does for Partridge is change his hair, it’s amazing how easy it is to separate him from the character
The podcast is dangerous for the eeears - sound levels!? Sssssssshaha
rich, when's frankie coming on?
"Bag of shite."
That's was ace, great chemistry :)
Sorry but those chairs look so fucking uncomfortable. It's either the cushions, or the chairs themselves are just too high - not sure.
I think it's the the back, actually. It's neither too low nor high but situated at an annoying height.
I agree, its to make them look relaxed but they can barely stay on them. who actually sits like that?
The cross examination bit is great.
"I saw them" etc :-)
Saxondale, the BEST.
Did Steve use Rich's 'barefeet bit' in this to form the bit in Nomad where Partridge meets Steve Backshall walking in barefeet for charity? Have you got your fee for this, Rich?
Hilarious 😂😂😂
Stop getting Steve Coogan wrong!
I thought hamlet 2 was pretty good
Stewart Lee has been working out.
I so get the Rowan Atkinson sex thing!
You so do.
Sexy Steve coogan a thoroughly charming man. Iove how he picks apart comedy and almost seems to educate herring about the way write jokes. Hah
His laughter is infectious too, good to see him 'avin a laff'
Steve's bed (ish) hair in the end... delicious.
You dirty little bitch.
Really good sport, never showed any inclination to go with the jokes.
I was at this recording ❤️ fuckin love Coogan
Chris Evans has gone mad?! oh, not that one.
lol @ persons in the south thinking Bolton would have an abbey
40:00 "Its just not possible." There was a supposedly sex education programme that I watched a decade or so ago where they filmed a man actually doing that, and he wasn't particularly Endowed. It wasn't clear whether he'd used Yoga or sheer persistence.
I was there. I seem to remember that he stood on a chair to do it.
Isn't it Dan O'Connell, not Christian? Love the podcasts btw
There is a DJ called Christian O'Connell as well - he does the morning show on Absolute Radio
Shame he aint back on the box...
All the people I did impersonations of have been arrested... lol
You too?
What the fuck, are you cold????
I'm watching this at three in the morning thinking how funny Coogan is and around the world in eighty days comes on the television. Oh well. You can't be funny all the time.
I hate Patrick Marber too
I just left a rather scathing response to the Stephen Merchant episode, then watched this one.
Richard, you were way better in this episode.
It’s not quite a true representation of how the Leveson inquiry lawyer reacted to the “he chose the venue” line, as you can see in the clip available on TH-cam. If anything he actually acknowledged it as a telling comment and certainly doesn’t appear annoyed or embarrassed. th-cam.com/video/3xlBr_3vWu4/w-d-xo.html
