'The Trip to Greece' is the last of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's insult-lobbying, celebrity-impression-heavy travelogues—and one of the series' best. Our review
And there’s the mixture of meta aspects and melancholia that Coogan, Brydon and director Michael Winterbottom have used as a baseline for the series, with the latter emphasized more than usual this time.
But from the moment Brydon recites the opening lines of Homer’s epic over a former military camp turned tourist site,feels a few shades darker than its predecessors. The passage of time hangs heavy over the proceedings, as these two middle-aged celebrities trod down the path of warriors and kings, leaving less of their own footprint behind. What was once home to an empire is now a Mediterranean vacation spot, with plenty of ruins and antiquities perfect for snapshots.
Coogan, especially, seems deflated by the fact that he isn’t instantly turned into Alexander the Great by setting foot on ancient soil — that, and the fact that Brydon knows more about the origins of the theme toleaves him feeling like a jerk. The young, pretty hospitality workers are now immune to his charm offensives. Having seven BAFTAS, as the actor reminds his traveling companion at every opportunity, has given him a sense of self-importance.
