My late dad and uncle were from sligo. I had the chance to show this to my uncle last year before his passing and he confirmed the accent is spot on and his voice brilliant
Adding IN the H is hilarious! There's a lot of very funny stuff in this. Some if it very very Irish and may need some explaning. And then Martins singing is actually beautiful 😂. This is an amazing bit
This is Coogan's best character after Partridge by a country mile. It's got serious legs under it. Would love to see it fleshed out more for a short series.
If your granda didn’t go to work in a shirt and tie!! And come home with his y fonts on the outside of his trousers, I don’t think he actually loved falling down the stairs every Friday full as a bingo bus and telling me it was my job to carry him up the stairs!!
I'm Irish, Alan has a free pass when taking the piss out of the Irish. If anything , he should be made an honorary irish man. Steve has the Irish down to a T. I broke my bollix laughing. If Anyone has a problem with this? They can fight me after I sing a little song 😂
Only the funniest piece of 'Oirish' television ever done, and done perfectly by Steve Coogan here. Every bit of it is spot on, by someone who knows his material well. (Well, he's Irish really...) It could have gone horribly wrong, instead it is magnificent, and will be forever replayed and loudly guffawed at. If you're going to take the piss out of us Irish, (or English,) as here, do it right.
His rendition of sweet 16 is stunning. Coogan spent a lot of time in Ireland with his family here. Nails the accent and the mannerisms of the west of ireland😊
“Double oh feckin’ bollox”!!! 😂😂😂. can we have ‘my little Armalite’ next time please? Or the stone cold classic ‘The sam song’? I’d pay the licence fee for that!! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪TAL 32 ☘️
He actually looks a bit like Alun don’t you think? Maybe distant relatives anything is possible; I’m sure in a different world Alun himself would be a republican loving tortoise stealing cow wanking farmer from County Dogshit……. Remarkable likeness
This is quite literally one of the most eye-wateringly hilarious pieces Steve Coogan has ever done. The genius is layered through, and it takes a few watches to catch it all, but the bigger picture is also just... wild! From the fake teeth to the lazy eye, the hooisms, just how did he get it past the BBC governance processes! Absolutely incredible - and all washed down with "Double'O Feckin Bollocks" and "Find out who booked them and sack her". 🤣 Bravo. This is Peak Partridge.
