He also talks about his voice acting work on Spitting Image before running through some of his repertoire - Sean Connery, Kenneth Clarke, Donald Sinden, Roger Moore, David Bowie, Prince Charles, Ronnie Corbett, Michael Caine, Edward Fox, Ben Elton and Sylvester Stallone all get a brief run-out.

😂😂😂
monkey tennis?
Smell my cheese
He needs to lap dance for it.
@@matt3719The game show Skirmish, surely!
You can see Coogan creating the character of Alan Partridge in real time as he watches Alan Titchmarsh
There's certainly a moment or 2 here when Alan is going a bit Partridge
Alan Titchmarsh writes novels?!
@@Francoberry yes he does. Wrote a few.
John Inverdale was the original model for Partridge, although I imagine that Titchmarsh contributed to the character as well.
also wally webb from bbc radio norfolk@@anonUK
Alan Titchmarsh is often mentioned by SC as one of the influences for the creation of Alan Partridge. One wonders if he was taking notes here!
It looks like he was it was like he was almost trying not to laugh when he looked at him lol
Alan Titchmarsh writes novels?
Titchmarsh is nothing like Partridge,
I don’t agree he’d go to Legoland
Massive amount of the legend that is: Richard Medley
Steve Coogan was middle aged even back in his early twenties 😆
He's autistic. Probably answers your question.
he was a party boy coogan
That is, absolutely first class impressionism. It's very, very good. It's... it's a bit like when you go to a pub, have a lovely roast dinner with Yorkshire pudding, and just to really 'kick it up a notch', there's a truly excellent covers band playing Level 42.
A Partridgism right rhere!
Excellent banter
😂
Lovely stuff
Back of the net.
And he became so much more. Looove Coogan. Alan Partridge is my favorite comedic character ever
But can he do small man trapped in a box?
😂 that's Rob Brydon isn't it
She was only 17
He absuleteky CAN'T!! THE TRIP addresses this delicate issue with tact. 😂😂
But we don't mind Stevo, cos you did something so much more important for the lives of us Alan fans waiting in the wings for something none of could have seeing coming. The most genius character in Brighton comedy since....... Eric Morcame.
And more specifically, a small AMERICAN man trapped in a box
Love Steve Coogan. Got to meet him at one of his book signings as Alan Partridge. My life was made lol!
Amazing to see him starting out here. Woe he really went on to be a household name didn't he. Such an amazing comedian and straight actor too
Can always find something great like this on BBC Archive.
He’s always been such a phenomenal talent…….
@@matt01506 No. Phenomenal is correct.
@@matt01506 I expect your mum must be wondering where she went wrong with you?
@@matt01506 Liberals make the only decent comedians. Conservatives just have one joke.
@@matt01506 YAWN…….rite on man……you made that up all on your own……??
@@matt01506 "muh liberals are the devil", try to dip your brain into holy water, son.
His impression of Jimmy Savile was class! Excellent acting 👏🏽
😬
Had close contact with the fella.
@@bushwhackeddos.2703 When?
@@T--xk3hf You're commenting that as if he likes him... Obviously he means it as he found him taking the piss out of him funny.
Coogan looks and dresses exactly like a student from 1990.. I was the same!
I still am
I was a student in 1990, and I approve this message.
Fair play to Steve Coogan. He has done alot for British comedy, his production company has given alot of comedians their big break.
I hope not, Big Break was awful, Jim Davidson.
Yes, I went to his Production Company for a job and they threw me down the stairs.
I used to go watch Steve quite a bit during the early 90s. Still, in my humble opinion, the best impressionist out there. Good bloke too. Always ready to chat to fans.
He does a great Alan partridge impersonation
The man with the child in his eyes
I remember this like it was 33 years ago
you’re never gonna believe this but
Do ya Hattersly!
That's great banter, it really was.
His Neil Kinnock shouting at a waiter, an impression he did for Chris Morris to try and spoof a Sunday Newspaper was incredible. It’s here on RUclips somewhere
That is tremendous!
Haha i remember that, get me a bloody drink😂😂 remember morris put on a Wakefield accent to try and sell it to the daily mail 😂😂
@@DB-pv2ej "How much would you pay for this tasty morsel?"
Amazing! To my shame, even as a massive Alan Partridge fan, I had never heard of/come across Coogan doing impressions, had no idea. What an extraordinary talent.
Have you not seen "The Trip" with Rob Brydon, very funny with loads of impressions... quite a lot here on RUclips
@@skeezoideluxe thank you! No I haven't but I will go in search of that on RUclips shortly this evening. Appreciate the recommendation, thank you!
You must be young then. When I was at school that was the first thing he was known for!
@@baronmeduse ha ha I wish that were true, I'm 39 but thank you! No I was just ignorant in this case, I had been missing out!
You're not ignorant.
Whomever approved the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre, however, definitely IS ignorant.@@VoiceOfVoiced
Steve Coogan does Sean Connery impression
Alan Titchmarsh: 'Go on, do your Sean Connery!'
This reminds me of the Alan Partridge radio show where he interviewed Patrick Marber playing an impressionist. Classic Coogan.
Absolutely gifted
He didn’t say, “The name’s Bond. Jones the Bond. Double O th-even. Licensed to kill-ch!”
One of those Welsh ones!
Steve was 25 years old here on this appearance on Pebble Mill in 1990 - I wonder if he had any idea how far he would come?
Probably. Most guys know the maximum distance of their ejaculate.
Over 30 years later he’s playing Jimmy Savile.
This studio was right next to my house ... amazing... they should've kept it
@@djjeevz2139 BBC have a habit of selling off their studios
i wonder what happened to the power pack
Have never heard Ben Elton done so accurately!
He did the voice of jimmy savile on spitting image at the time too
Savile. Only one l :)
Its Saville
@@aerialexplorer772arsehole
He did his Savile impression in front of Jimmy Savile in one clip somewhere on RUclips, as weird as that is.
@@gaztambo139 😬
Back in the mid-1970s, I used to relish missing school through illness, etc, just so I could watch Pebble Mill at One. Daytime TV has never been the same.
It seemed to go on for hours …
Brian Turner patiently waiting for his spot to begin at 5:46
Lol
The bloke impersonating Alan Titchmarsh is quite good.
Seems quite talented, I hope he makes it in the business.
Lovely stuff, not my words - but the words of Shakin’ Stevens
I love Paul Calf and ofcourse Alan Partridge. Coogan's so funny and talented, he makes it look easy.
He does an Amazing Alan Partridge impression, hate to say it, but his Saville is tremendous.
Definitely deserves a second series.
These are excellent. Never knew he did so many.
You need to watch the Trip.
Classic reluctant yet confident British sense of humor...
Humour
He’s not bad, hope it works out well for him 👍🏻
Well, he had briefly found success around this time fronting the pop duo The Pet Shop Boys.
@@petergivenbless900more like Soft Cell
Ohh Ruddy hell...
You can see AP in the way he was talking even then 😆
Never knew Robbie Fowler could do impressions.
😂
Lol
Just considerably more better looking. 🤭
There’s a bit in radio 4 series of KMKY where Partridge interviews a young edgy comedian who does voices for spitting image.
His voice hasn't changed a tick
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are an English electronic band formed in Wirral, Merseyside, in 1978.
An unusual bit of spam there
...lucky for you I LOVE SYNTH MUSIC.
@@ThatCoalSoulGlenn Kitson has confirmed that this was Andy McCluskey impersonating Steve Coogan
🤣
Looks like his eyebrows were warming up for that Sean Connery impression long before he did it.
Classic , good times when people on day time tv had actual real talent
Titchmarsh? Turn it up...
This Steve Coogan bloke looks hell a lot like Alan Partridge.
Do you write your own scripts?
Sounds just like him too.
He did the partridge laugh/snort at the start of the interview 😂
That was the best thing...since sliced bread!!
Mike Yarwood and Phil Cool. That takes me back.
feeling the pressure. sweating like mad
Lovely stuff
This is great banter!
Could this be the moment Alan Partridge was conceived?
4:00 it's Brian Bandonde from face jacker
Him and Chris Barrie were very similar at this age.
I remember Steve from his early impressionist days. Loved his career ever since.
Idea for a light hearted twee midday programme...
It’d be cheap to make and if you don’t do it, ITV will.
Monkey Tennis?
Omg we're all so old now aren't we 🤣😭
10 IF "WE" = OLD THEN PRINT "YES"
When I say ‘impressionist’, you of course think of Sully Bitcup, Lars Blikksberg, Wonka B. Hammerhead and Miriam Miriam Henchworthy.
It's a young Alan Partridge!
He's exactly the same as now. Just younger 😂
He'll be famous one day
"Do your Wogan for us!"
3:28 "sorry, "spidding?"" Alan wouldn't like that...
You're a complenm cunm!!
That was the best Steve Coogan impression I ever heard.
So ruddy bloody brave
Shame we didn’t hear from him ever again. He’d have been good on the radio.
This guy seems cool and funny, I think he will go far.
Wow, he looks so young. I'm always interested in seeing other people's impressions!
Lovely stuff.
He's very smooth...
He basically sent himself up in this, in the radio original version of KMKY with Alan Partridge, probs only a couple of years after this.
Sounds like half the script of The Trip had been written by this point.
Never seen an impressionist able to move so quickly from one impression to another. They usually require a moment or two to gather themselves, reset for the next one. Coogan, instantly, on cue.
A quick mind, that one.
Steve, you’re a cracking good impressionist. I always liked your shows and despite what some people have said I thought you were outstanding in saville.
Damn, he must've been only 23/24 here, looks so young!
Yes.. It’s an extender!!
Someone should give this guy his own show, a lot of potential here.
Wow, him and Jim Carrey, legends
Surprised he wasn’t asked to do Gerry Adams on helium. 🤨
"yir tone is antagonistic and yir making me ERY AHNNGRY!"
I was imagining Partridge being interviewed at this age all the way through this.
FINALLY an Edward Fox!
that snort laugh
Ah gorgeous young slip of a lad, the bros era clothes - rolled up jeans, bomber jacket with a badge; those were the days
Hi la Ben Elton impression sounded similar to 1 of his future characters
What a funny story
Never knew Steve Coogan did Pebble Mill At One haha Rob Brydon must have been seething!
Crazy to think that Alan Partridge hadn't been imagined in to existence here. Coogan and Partridge are almost symbiotic so seeing one without the other is just bizarre for me as a life long Alpha Papa fan
This Steve Coogan lad could go far with the proper guidance and concentration
I’ve got … 104 friends…
Awh man, I hope this guy appears on more stuff.
Alan Partridge introducing Alan Partridge
Do your Titchmarsh. Do your Titchmarsh.
This is at Pebble Mill which isnt there now!
That tv critic was Shakin' Stevens
It’s always the oddest thing an impressionist just sitting there while people say “do xxxxx…”. The audiences tend to appear rather uncomfortable, and the pressure to make your impression ALSO funny is huge.
Steve does a few really well but it’s an interesting point about the puppets doing the work on Spitting Image, Then your brain hears the rest.
You may remember the Alan Partridge radio chat show Knowing me Knowing You where a young impressionist is a guest and Partridge goes through a list of people he wants the guy to impersonate.
@@toffeeriot4219 I do totally forgotten that!! I remember stumbling across its predecessor On The Hour and being totally taken in for about 10-15 mins. Such was our naivety then!
“I set out to be an actor after drama school” was delivered with exactly the same intonation as so many Partridge lines.
shame he never appeared on TV again 😢
I said 'Alan Partridge writes novels?'
He said 'You're Alan Partridge'
I said 'Alan Titchmarsh writes novels?'
Thank goodness for Steve Coogan and Nallons. Until then we had Mike Yarwood doing impersonations of Mike Yarwood
