    Steve Coogan is such a great character actor, although unlike Alan Partridge he is seems to be very incognito as Hardy (or is it Laurel that he actually plays?)
    I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
    There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
    I'm having so much fun
    My lucky number's one
    Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

      I have to go this weekend to watch the film.
      When I was a child. Laurel and Hardy was always on. It was ny favourite comedy.
      I still watch the shirt films.

        Really enjoyed it. Laugh-out-loud funny and poignant in equal measure.

          Coogan = Laurel; Reilly = Hardy
          Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas - go figure!

                    I bet that they are both funny.

                    Speaking of Coogan, I don't think that I have seen that Alan Partridge film from 2013 - I believe it's been seen on TV a couple of times. I know it was doing the rounds in the cinemas in August 2013 - tried to see it on my birthday that year but it wasn't on.

                        Re: Stan and ollie

                        I did get that "We Need to talk about Alan" book from WHSmith during that bridge between Christmas and New Year in 2011 - when I had it on the bookcase at the old place, many visitors were impressed with the fact that I got a copy!

                        The only problems with playing a character such as Laurel or Hardy is that: A) it obviously is not an original creation unlike Alan Partridge; B) they were based on real people; and C) they came from a previous generation several decades ago. It's like a singer doing a cover version rather than an original - that is not criticism of course, but just observations.

                          I think the film is more of a biopic, the relationship between the actors and agents etc

                              It is about when they toured theatres in the UK, towards the end of their careers, because they needed the money. Apparently, they were well-received and quite grateful!
