Possibly better if you'd said "bag 'o' shite"
But I entirely agree.

I think that could describe Steve Coogans entire career and possibly existance.

Not seen it, dunno what it is but if its Steve Coogan being slated im gonna have to step in and defend. Ive got his live DVD with two shows (man who thinks he is is and some other one)....and they are SUPERB. very very funny....alan partridge was obviously amazing but the other characters all grew on me. shame you don't like....its brilliant

It's quite good but not in the Partridge league.

Apart from when he was [the then unknown] Frank Skinner's best man and paid for the Reception- Frank living in Brum at the time.
Although he was pissed throughout....

The Jeremy Clarkson piss take episode wasn't bad. But the character's a bit too one-dimensional. Partridge in the motel series was infinitely funnier.

Gareth Cheeseman, Alan Partridge, Paul(ine) Calf all had their moments. Saxondale's just deeply unfunny. The writing's slow and Coogan's on auto-pilot. Pure Bernard Matthews.

Gareth Cheeseman .... now that was funny mate ,
i know what your saying about saxondale being slow, after watching mondays episode i think it's more me wanting to find it funny because it's by steve coogan than it atualy being funny
never mind i'll still be watchin the last two episodes
