[@jamesphlames7498]

I was i to the theatre in the 90's and Steve Coogan was my hero! My Dad absolutely loved him as well! Such a genius.

[@joeloxig6872]

For years I've been saying 'im goin t'chippy for a bit of nose bag' ...love Paul calf

[@metafis]

Amazing...within 30 seconds Steve has establised the character to such an extent you feel you know Paul Calf, even if its the first time you've ever seen the character.

[@sickistartform1]

We all know a Paul ;)

[@jamesandolini1087]

There were loads of blokes like that round our way in the 80s. The hair, clothes & gob shite chat 🤣

[@andrewp1075]

I remember watching this live and actually thinking it was just some random drunk bloke, who'd gatecrashed the stage (I was only young). Monday in school I was able to impress my mates with a new phrase "bag a shite". Steve Coogan....genius.

[@noway1635]

Paul and Pauline Calf were both brilliant.

And yet they never did a single live show together...

Remember hearing this ' bag O' shite' as a kid but great to put a name and face to the guy.👍

[@stevenrolfe1918]

I can’t remember how many years ago this was but it is as hilariously funny then as I find it now,, bag o shite

[@sickistartform1]

Love it when he corners a student outside the Cinema, hahahaha ;) " It was f**k'in sssshite ", hahaha ;)

[@brianpoole4369]

no...he's not taking the piss out out of south Manchester....he's from Middleton north Manchester....I'm a mile a way from there in blackley....I can vouch after 40 years of boozing up here...that he absolutely nails the north Manchester male....

[@SophieW-z9r]

Lol..I went to uni in Liverpool in the late 80' s & studied design/engineering at Hopwood Hall.( A really weird place that was owned by the water board) lol.I agree with you about his character being spot on😂😂

[@mrrolight]

@@SophieW-z9r Hopwood Hall was a further education college less than a mile from Cardinal Langley where I, and Coogan, went to school. Both places were run by Catholic de la Salle brothers. I remember in about 1979 the whole school going to catholic mass at Hopwood Hall on Founder's Day and singing the school song which went as follows: "Saint la Salle out dearest father, Hear thy loving children pray, Grant that we with thy protection grow in virtue day by day." But it was the time of peak punk and we bawled it with the gusto of Johnny Rotten and no one got punished because everyone was guilty. At the end there was whooping and hollering and applause and cheering. The very best Catholic mass in the history of the church. The deputy head, Jock Crawford, single-handedly tried to quell the verve, which made it worse.

[@stevecox7075]

Genius.

[@grahamblack1961]

I was a student when this was first broadcast and the joke about a student writing a cheque for a bag of chips was spot on. It's a bit dated now though, I doubt anyone under the age of 40 even knows what a cheque is.

[@eurochrissy2]

Steve said that after being on the show,he was stopped by the police on his way home in his car,the officer was convinced he was drunk after having seen the show,Coogan had to explain it was just a performance,so i read....

[@campfreddy3547]

That was absolutely true,my mate told that in the '90s.

[@drexlspivey5828]

I find it impossible to believe he left the studio and drove home in costume

[@BeasleyStreet]

Urban myth...

[@joekeefe873]

Couldnt help myself... Just had to repeat the bit where he says "fucking shite!" haha!

[@myfanwy7]

Having Calf as a City fan is Coogan having a laugh. He's a red in real life.

[@lucasm3879]

Mark Weatherall Pretty sure he's never been interested in football, listening to interviews talking about his upbringing.

[@SeeDaRipper...]

And?? he owned the show, that's what.

[@WesTheHunter]

Paul and Pauline Calf were Steve Coogan's best and nearly only funny character. But I think he put all his eggs into the "Alan Partridge" Basket because I think Americans found the obnoxiousness of him funny ? therefore getting a wider range of viewers where as Paul Calf doesn't seem like a character Americans would understand.

[@mrrolight]

Partridge is entirely aimed at a British audience. He has never been geared toward an American audience which is why all his references are way beyond the ken of Americans.

[@WesTheHunter]

@@mrrolight Partridge is aimed at "Some" British, Where as Paul and Pauline Calf is aimed at other British. I'm one and not the other
