Rob Brydon on impressions, The Trip, and Green Eggs and Ham - from RHLSTP 510 

“but they’re joyless” i lolled

As Brydon said in the full podcast, it's only on the RU-vid clips that he can read the comments, or I can leave one. Thanks.

Rob gets more hair every year. In a few years he'll have a massive afro.

Talking about impressions, I always love the way Richard speaks like a skipping record sometimes, it's like he's writing better drafts of a sentence while saying them, but I think that makes it definitely a difficult thing to attempt to replicate. So that's some job security haha. "uh, look, I di - I didn't see this perf - particular perform - this particular performance" "i mean you know but it's fu... the, he clearly has fun - in the trip - doing them in in and in as much as he said"

Such a lovely treasure of a person.

Ah great. Rob is always very entertaining.

Absolutely hilarious Coogan and McCartney anecdote

He was right about the Grand Budapest Hotel! ❤

On the longer podcast, Brydon does an extended showbiz anecdote about Paul Mccartney, which confirms what you probably think about Mccartney if you've never met him, that he's an incredibly irritating twat. Although he wrote some very nice songs in the 1960s.

Caroline Quentin's let herself go

Love to see Rob talking about Regis and Matt Friend

Ooh... Is there a little bit of a reveal that Rob isn't Steve Coogan's biggest fan regarding some of his behaviour? "You can make fun of him for personal things.. But (not) the career.." bit. I've always regarded Coogan as a brilliant performer in a lot of his work. But an atrocious human being regarding his attitudes towards others. And simply can't watch him any more in anything.

Marion and Geoff is all the legacy anyone needs, one of the greatest comedies ever made.
