1:02:03
- Are you meeting on anything interesting?
- Yeah.
1:02:15
I've got to say you were just fantastic...
1:02:19
in 24 Hour. No, seriously,
24 Hour Party People was just a knockout.
1:02:24
- I mean, brilliant. Great work.
- Thank you.
1:02:27
Really brilliant. It was...
1:02:31
And the reviews...
1:02:33
They were pretty fucking great.
1:02:35
I was amazed because it was...
1:02:38
I didn't think many people would get
all the cultural references.
1:02:41
Sort of, Manchester, early '80s,
the whole music scene.
1:02:44
You'd be surprised.
1:02:46
But a lot of people didn't have any kind
of reference to make to it because...
1:02:50
They know about the bands over here...
1:02:52
but the whole thing, your character,
and his running the TV show...
1:02:57
Do you want a cigarette?
1:02:58
- Sorry, they're French.
- No, that's okay. Thanks.
1:03:08
I'll save it for later.
1:03:11
Okay.
1:03:22
So, Laura said that...
1:03:26
you were really keen to meeting.
She wouldn't tell me what it was.
1:03:31
I didn't want to say it over the phone
because it would've sounded weird.
1:03:34
I can imagine how she thought.
This was coming out of nowhere.
1:03:37
I phone her up,
and she doesn't know me from Adam.
1:03:40
I said, "I must talk to Steve Coogan."
1:03:43
But I wanted to see you in person.
1:03:44
When I found out you'd be here
for a few days...
1:03:47
I thought this was the perfect opportunity
to let you know...
1:03:49
Anyway, I'll get right to it.
1:03:53
I'm so excited about this.
1:03:56
Let me try and put it in context.
