This is the latest creation from the man who created paul and pauling calf but also ALAN PARTRIDGE.
Do not compare the two, it would be unfair, what we do have here is the story of old roadie tommy saxondale a man who longs to cling on to his dreams (and stories) whilst working as a pest controller, all the while he must deal with his anger management issues, this is another great coogan character!
Buy and thank me later.
Very funny and very different to previous incarnations and for that is the reason this series is a difinitive purchase.

Not a series that grabs immediately the way Alan Partridge did but well worth sticking with. Coogan creates a rather sad character who can see his best years have passed without really achieving anything. The series' real strength is in the supporting charcters and Coogan generously giving them space, most obviously Morwenna Banks' poisonous receptionist, Ruth Jones as his long suffering girlfriend and there's some beautiful underplaying from the excellent Rasmus Hardiker as Saxondale's assistant.

Steve coogan is the master of character comedy and just as he did with Alan Partriddge, he has created a legend in Tommy Saxondale. Like Partridge, Saxondale is plagued with ineptitudes and personality defects but despite this is very funny, likeable and in fact becomes something of a working class hero. Coogan has not dissapointed with his new incarnation and all i can say is Steve Coogan God Bless yer, you bloody bloke!
