But not too informal; it's not Nigel Pinsent's "In Depth" but neither is it Wally Banter's "Junk-Box"

Mid Morning Matters was superb - locked off cameras, very minimal, Steve doing Partridge, and the icing on this car crash of hugely embarrassing moments was Tim’s ‘Sidekick Simon.’ The chemistry was just brilliant.

I love Tim Key's brand of comedy - he is so completely off the wall and full of surprises.

Key's character on Saxondale wasn't selling timeshares but asks Tommy if he's considered consolidating his credit card debts. Tommy replied, "No, but I've thought about caning them all into the red then faking my own death."

Tim Key's Late Night Poetry programme is a jewel of a show. Perfection. Just got Chapters and the two lockdown books are outstanding. Honourable mentions from below the line for No More Jockeys. Tim is so much more than a sidekick!

That was lovely, I could listen to those two all night. As to Steve Coogan, his talent knows no bounds - just look at the Stan and Ollie film. To channel the essence of one of the greatest comic actors so thoroughly that you forget you're watching an impersonation and go away feeling like you've seen the real thing. He is definitely up there with the likes of Stan Laurel himself as one of our top performers.

Anyone else find this man wildly attractive? In so many ways? Just sitting there in his footie gear. No pretentiousness just wonderful wit and humour and humility. He's a total one off. Good luck to him.

I could listen to these soothing voices anecdoting & chipping-in all day long. Brilliant interview. Tim is so funny & cute, I love him ❤

Tim is amazing! And Chapters is great. Get his lockdown books too. Very on point and hilarious.

The scene in This Time they are talking about with the interactive screen is just brilliant. The bit where he looks looking for the phone calls, and he gets to a screen where every icon is a phone 📱📞☎️ is sublime. We are lucky to have such brilliant people making comedy

I think the Kathy Burke thing was "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", a differemnt Abba lyric :). As for money films there is "The Color of Money", a sequel to "The Hustler" with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise...

Mid Morning Matters is the best Partridge and Sidekick Simon is a big part of that.

Utterly delightful. Two of my all-time favorite people.

key is so lovable. chipper-inner 💗

Tim Key was brilliant on taskmaster!

A chipper in... Yes. A special talent unto itself.

Truly wonderful. Thank you

An extra lovely element of this is Tim wrote an article for the independent about how much he loves holding hands 2:24

Great to Timkey, a shame he didn't play his magic flute

The scene where Simon has betrayed Alan by going on the Branning show is wonderful ❤

The biggest compliment I ever heard paid to Tim Key was from Steve Coogan himself. He said Tim's funny but he doesn't know how he's funny, and that because he fails to be able to pinpoint this it intrigues him.

I was racking my brain as to why that voice was so familiar, and then it clicked. He sounds like Nick Mohammed, and I Just recently binged Ted Lasso. I've seen Tim first, but watching this now, just makes it clear!🤯😂

Tim Key has worked with both Coogan and Gervais

Lynn, idea for spinoff podcast ‘Trousers Off With Rob Brydon’ oh and can you collect my dry cleaning.

Quite enchanting and an excellent guest. That Technology part of the show with Partridge was hilarious...Partridge a late substitute Presenter a la "One Show" introduces a "rare, special talent" that he has discovered and introduces "Simon" to the Narion amidst glowing praise and, gradually, thru Simon's total ineptitude gets more and more embarrassed by his "find" and cuts the segment,to which Simon enquires if he can still do the weather later and Coogan gives him the darkest look imaginable. Brilliant!

Bohnson & Moggeth Bohnson waddled out into the garden… the sun was hot hot hot!. His rays bounced off the side of the house that he rented and into his scruffy, urine coloured hair. He put his fists on his thick hips and surveyed the proceedings; he liked what he saw, put it that way. “Staffers Unwinding” - that’s the headline news! Caps flying off beer… senior politicians wrestling… policy makers unfolding Twister. Finding a flat bit of lawn to peg it down. Bohnson smiled, his tennis shorts bulging with pride. Moggeth handed him a couple of Swedish meatball wraps and ladled some punch down his throat. “Oh Moggeth, you see the vibe?” There was a Government affiliated DJ playing chilled Tory beats, and Bohnson’s trotters started jiggling on the turf. He checked his watch… “well that’s me I reckon” Mogeth almost choked on his Bullmers… “You ain’t fuckin’ off already are you?” Bohnson winked and did an ‘under the thumb’ gesture. He smashed a tin opener against a bottle of Bollinger… “Right, I’m off you ‘horrible lot!” They boo’d, some had their tops off, some had coke running down their chests. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, chaps!” “Narrow it down boss!” The laughter grew & grew, it swept Bohnson back through his French Windows, it rose over the walls and drifted like poison across the city. Tim Key. Genius poet.

This is golf, i mean gold...apart from the absence of cork glass mats, good job.

The Kathy Burke/James Dreyfus series wasn't called money money money, it was called Gimme Gimme Gimme so Tim can use money money money.

The answer is of course Rob Brydon, whose voice appeared alongside those of Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan in the classic Robbie the Reindeer: Legend of the Lost Tribe.

Tim Key was brilliant with Coogan on mid morning matters

I suspect Coogan will take Partridge and develop him til the end of his life, we'll get 90 year old Partridge, a bit like Peter Cook who performed his characters into old age. So much to look forward to, I hope he never puts it too bed, so much to mine! elderly senile Partridge
