One of Steve Coogan’s finest characters, surely it is now time for a third season?

[@tetsuoshima7385]

Tommy v the just stop oil lot would be sublime😂

[@NoContextRDH]

Coogans too woke to make anything good these dsys

[@chriswood1661]

Na. Always leave the audience wanting more. Besides, I don’t think it would work in todays climate. Too many people just wouldn’t get him.

[@RJ-wx3fh]

It'd be easy to overplay the caricature , but i've met many men of a certain age with stories of the old days, a harsh outer, but some real emotion when they open up

[@Benwheatleys]

💯!! Steve PLEASE if you read this make another season of it. The world Will understand it better in these days 💪

[@tetsuoshima7385]

Would love to see his take on the just stop oil lot😂😂😂

[@RadagonTheRed]

One of the most supremely underrated comedies of the last 20 years without doubt.

[@MattWilliams482]

That annoying neighbour is such a great character

[@Roflcrabs]

Hate to say it, loved this show as a teen 16 years ago on Comedy Central but annoying neighbor is tragically relatable now.

That annoying Dan Walker-esque neighbour is actually iconic. Saxondale was so good.

more Saxondale please! I would love to hear his thoughts on modern Britain, new advances in pest control and how they're related to 70s prog rock..... even if it's just a podcast

Absolute brilliance from start to finish. 'If i want to listen to electronic bleeps and farts i'll just stick me foot through the windscreen and listen to the alarm go off' 🤣 I wonder though if this could be Coogans real opinion or just Tommys.

For the love of god pls do another series

[@eileenflannigan709]

I think Tony Hayers put the kibosh on it

[@RJ-wx3fh]

If you enjoy saxondale, may i also reccommend loudermilk? Both great series in my opinion, with a similar premise of cantankerous former music industry person with a support group and both would be gratefully received by fans for another series

[@paulmarshall2007]

I think a new series where Saxondale launches himself as an independent candidate when the local MP has to step down following a sex scandal, would be great to watch. And only marginally less bizarre than current reality.

[@revilo314]

What a specific but good suggestion.

[@lloydwaycott8178]

Can't stand Coogan's loony political leanings, but isn't it about time the man was knighted? The quality of his writing, the perfection of his performance, high level consistency. Saxondale is a brilliant creation, so different from Partridge you forget it's the same actor. In a hundred years he will be revered as we revere Peter Sellers today.

[@trippymchippy8586]

His knowledge of the rave scene circa 89-2001 would be limited.

there's a version of him irl who'd know all about it. might be one of us.

[@horaceosirian8993]

The Color Climax Corporation skin mags are a sneaky reference to child porn (Danish company CCC was the largest producer of legal child pornography in the 1970s). *PS: DID YOU KNOW:* His Badgesty Lord Sir Doctor Brian _"Bri"_ May (MBE, OBE, PhD) accidentally invented speed metal in 1974, by playing lead guitar on the track _'Stone Cold Crazy'_ so fast that everyone thought it was a sped-up recording, but he wasn't trying to push the Red Special into the red zone. In fact he wasn't even aware that he'd broken the former landspeed metal record (while using a six-pence piece as a plectrum to boot), and invented a new genre of music entirely by mistake, however he _was_ extremely apologetic forever after, culminating in a 33-year tour in support of his one-man tour: *_BRIAN MAIDEN: THE MAN INSIDE THE SPEED-METAL MASK,_* in which he impales himself within an Iron Maiden spiked-coffin sarcophagus every night and proceeds to defile Queen classics in the style of Iron Maiden, and Iron Maiden classics in the style of Queen....everyone loses.

I absolutely loved Saxondale. Found Tommy a much more sympathetic character than AP. I think that the success of AP was detrimental to the success of Saxondale. Will always have a fond place in my heart for it.

[@nickmandleberg]

Coogan himself said the difference was AP was an irredeemable unlikable man with no self awareness but Tommy, although similar was aware of his shortfalls and trying to be a better person.
