The Trip To Greece review
Very sad, very funny television from two of Britain's best comic performers.
The Independent, 4th March 2020The Trip To Greece review
Several times, Brydon's inspired improvisations reduced Coogan to authentically helpless mirth.
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 4th March 2020TV review: The Trip, series 4, episode 1
It's a gentle, warm affair, and though if it's a series you've not had any time for then this latest instalment won't win you over. But for fans it's a delightful half hour spent in the company of two masters of comedy, who talk about a number of fascinating subjects and four series in even though the concept is a simple one it's not something I'm getting bored of in the slightest, to the extent that it will be a real shame if they don't ever do any more after this.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 4th March 2020Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan are back to play lightly fictionalised versions of themselves for the fourth outing of their series, a whirlwind recreation of Odysseus's 10-year trip through Greece. Beginning in Assos in Turkey and undertaking another series of gourmet meals, there are, of course, the impressions of Ronnie Corbett, Stan Laurel and Tom Hardy to contend with, as the pair bicker and meander their way through discussions on the nature of acting and the potential press response to their deaths.
Ammar Kalia, The Guardian, 3rd March 2020How comedy for men became touchy-feely
A more authentic, softer side to men is being reflected and celebrated on screen in ways it never used to be. Ben Dowell gets a warm, fuzzy glow.
Ben Dowell, The Times, 3rd March 2020The Trip To Greece review
The comics' semi-fictionalised food tour ends in the Med, as they deepen the moving pathos behind their celebrity impressions and endless bickering.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 3rd March 2020The Trip To Greece review
Four episodes left; which is roughly 17 Michael Caine impressions. Savour them all.
Chris Bennion, The Telegraph, 3rd March 2020TV review: The Trip to Greece, Sky One
Perhaps I'm being too picky. Maybe this series has been overshadowed but the slightly stylistically similar much more more good-hearted Mortimer and Whitehouse fishing series. It is always fun to spend time in the company of the incredibly talents Coogan and Brydon but in this instalment they do not quite match their previous highs. Hopefully they will scale that Olympus later in this series.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st March 2020Watching the most entertaining people you know dominate
Coogan and Brydon continue to aggressively impersonate Michael Caine over risotto - and yet, within that, there is art.
Joel Golby, The Guardian, 29th February 2020Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan interview
The Trip is heading to Greece for its fourth - and possibly final - leg. What has 10 years of sparring done to its stars?
