Tim Key is genuinely just so naturally fun, just his demeanor and the way he speaks is entertaining.

This is great banter! It really is...!

Key's character on Saxondale wasn't selling timeshares but asks Tommy if he's considered consolidating his credit card debts. Tommy replied, "No, but I've thought about caning them all into the red then faking my own death."

I love Tim Key's brand of comedy - he is so completely off the wall and full of surprises.

Mid Morning Matters was superb - locked off cameras, very minimal, Steve doing Partridge, and the icing on this car crash of hugely embarrassing moments was Tim’s ‘Sidekick Simon.’ The chemistry was just brilliant.

The subtle 'I've got about 4" at 6'02" is hilarious. Even Brydon missed it.

Tim Key's Late Night Poetry programme is a jewel of a show. Perfection. Just got Chapters and the two lockdown books are outstanding. Honourable mentions from below the line for No More Jockeys. Tim is so much more than a sidekick!

Mid Morning Matters is the best Partridge and Sidekick Simon is a big part of that.

I think I am turning into a massive Tim Key fan just by watching this... what a lovely man!

Tim Key is truly a unique comedy voice

Will never ever get bored of Tim

It’s so rare to come across somebody with a unique comic voice. I watch the Witchfinder series practically on repeat just to marvel again and again at Tim Key’s performance and perfect timing.

Also, make sure you listen to The Adam Buxton Podcast episode 77 with Tim Key, one of the all time great podcast episodes!

PLEASE listen to Tim Key's Late Night Poetry Programme on BBC Sounds - it is radio comedy perfection.

Such a funny, warm, humble man. Love him.

I have never seen anybody nail comedic timing and subtle facial expression as Tim Key did with Sidekick Simon. Thank you

I think his performances in Cowards was very understated. Very cool guy.

Fantastic interview. Excellent chipping-in.

Anyone else find this man wildly attractive? In so many ways? Just sitting there in his footie gear. No pretentiousness just wonderful wit and humour and humility. He's a total one off. Good luck to him.

Martin freeman has worked with Gervais on the Office and Coogan on Hot Fuzz

I think the Kathy Burke thing was "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", a differemnt Abba lyric :). As for money films there is "The Color of Money", a sequel to "The Hustler" with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise...

I love Tim Key. Such a likeable guy.

That was lovely, I could listen to those two all night. As to Steve Coogan, his talent knows no bounds - just look at the Stan and Ollie film. To channel the essence of one of the greatest comic actors so thoroughly that you forget you're watching an impersonation and go away feeling like you've seen the real thing. He is definitely up there with the likes of Stan Laurel himself as one of our top performers.

Those little moments Rob pointed out are brilliant , Tim is absolutely perfect for his role…. Love it.

Tim’s such a great comedian,loved him in mid morning matters 😂

I love the idea of Carey Mulligan winning an Oscar and then saying, “I must do a film with that chap from No More Jockeys.”

I could listen to these soothing voices anecdoting & chipping-in all day long. Brilliant interview. Tim is so funny & cute, I love him ❤

My favourite one of these yet, Tim's a gem!

Tim Key is so naturally hilarious. His last line in this is perfect!

Tim is amazing! And Chapters is great. Get his lockdown books too. Very on point and hilarious.

Tim Key was brilliant on taskmaster!

The scene where Simon has betrayed Alan by going on the Branning show is wonderful ❤

Diane Morgan - the person Rob & Tim couldn't think of who has worked with both Coogan and Gervais is Diane Morgan.

Utterly delightful. Two of my all-time favorite people.

key is so lovable. chipper-inner 💗

Ben Stiller. Gervais and Coogan were both in Night at the Museum.

Tim key as Mushki… the new slave on Plebs was wonderful. Also. I think Tim should bring Tom Basden with him everywhere he goes to play a musical accompaniment when he speaks.

Truly wonderful. Thank you

I love the offbeat pace of Tim Key's delivery. Always surprising.

A chipper in... Yes. A special talent unto itself.

Cracking banter ! It really is

For me, Mid Morning Matters is peak Partridge, and Tim Key as Simon was obviously a huge part of that. A very talented comedy actor.

Great to Timkey, a shame he didn't play his magic flute

David Mitchell was in the film Greed with Steve Coogan and co-wrote the sketch show Bruiser with Ricky Gervais.

Tim Key interviewing Simon Amstell 12 years ago,on You Tube is golden,like this. The way Simon and Tim bounce of each other is superb.

I've shared a pint with Tim Key, a ruddy nice bloke

An extra lovely element of this is Tim wrote an article for the independent about how much he loves holding hands 2:24

the most brilliant and most funny thing I ever seen was Alan during a bit of improv saying "hey there baby girl" and the look on Tim's face totally cracked me up. Good team work and the camera to get Tims look was so clever. Priceless.

Love the Harold Pinter anecdote.... v.funny.

Whenever I hear Pinter mentioned I always think back to when I used to listen Derek and Clive (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore`s hilariously filthy alter egos). “Prick in the hands of Pinter is pure gold

The first 5 minutes were like an episode of between 2 ferns

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme was the sitcom with Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus not Money, Money, Money

Tim key is hilarious.

Tim playing a local tv journalist trying to interview Warwick Davis on Life’s Too Short is still some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

MMM was probably peak partridge - every episode was flawless

Two for the show........excellent.

Became an instant fan when I first saw him as Gerry, Jez’s replacement in Peep Show. He was like Jim Howick. Comedy and acting guns.

I don't remember Rob's anecdote about Pinter. Nice one!

THE WITCHFINDER! 🤣👌

I grew to love Tim Keys sense of humour through watching that UKposts thing he does with Alex Horne, no more jockeys

Lovely stuff

I was racking my brain as to why that voice was so familiar, and then it clicked. He sounds like Nick Mohammed, and I Just recently binged Ted Lasso. I've seen Tim first, but watching this now, just makes it clear!🤯😂

Excellent stuff.

Tim Key is such a funny guy his awkward sidekick Simon on Alan Partridge is hilarious

What a lovely chat

Best poet ❤️

Absolutely loved all of this and, especially, the first 4 minutes which were golden but a lovely Podcast. Thank You.

"I don't know any fashion words!" "Lynn wears a coat that was advertised with the words STRONG COAT FOR SALE" That wonderful scene with Seb Cardinal in This Time is so wonderful.

Saw Tim at the fringe in 2010. He was actually very good.

This is such a warm conversation. Affable and garrulous.

The biggest compliment I ever heard paid to Tim Key was from Steve Coogan himself. He said Tim's funny but he doesn't know how he's funny, and that because he fails to be able to pinpoint this it intrigues him.

Tim Key 🗝️ locked in to this interview 😊

Perfect ending 😂

Lynn, idea for spinoff podcast ‘Trousers Off With Rob Brydon’ oh and can you collect my dry cleaning.

Possibly the greatest video ever made, and the camera work is truly world class. Shit, I forgot to put a picture of a birds arse in my avi.

Clink of Crockery would be a great name for a podcast.

The answer is of course Rob Brydon, whose voice appeared alongside those of Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan in the classic Robbie the Reindeer: Legend of the Lost Tribe.

Tim Key has worked with both Coogan and Gervais

I wanted to hear the rest of the Impington to Footlights tale. Sometimes Rob just can’t resist hogging it.

This is golf, i mean gold...apart from the absence of cork glass mats, good job.

check out Simon key in a fantastic short film, called Wonderdate. Such a talented and nice guy

Bohnson & Moggeth Bohnson waddled out into the garden… the sun was hot hot hot!. His rays bounced off the side of the house that he rented and into his scruffy, urine coloured hair. He put his fists on his thick hips and surveyed the proceedings; he liked what he saw, put it that way. “Staffers Unwinding” - that’s the headline news! Caps flying off beer… senior politicians wrestling… policy makers unfolding Twister. Finding a flat bit of lawn to peg it down. Bohnson smiled, his tennis shorts bulging with pride. Moggeth handed him a couple of Swedish meatball wraps and ladled some punch down his throat. “Oh Moggeth, you see the vibe?” There was a Government affiliated DJ playing chilled Tory beats, and Bohnson’s trotters started jiggling on the turf. He checked his watch… “well that’s me I reckon” Mogeth almost choked on his Bullmers… “You ain’t fuckin’ off already are you?” Bohnson winked and did an ‘under the thumb’ gesture. He smashed a tin opener against a bottle of Bollinger… “Right, I’m off you ‘horrible lot!” They boo’d, some had their tops off, some had coke running down their chests. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, chaps!” “Narrow it down boss!” The laughter grew & grew, it swept Bohnson back through his French Windows, it rose over the walls and drifted like poison across the city. Tim Key. Genius poet.

KEYSEYYYYYYY

The Kathy Burke/James Dreyfus series wasn't called money money money, it was called Gimme Gimme Gimme so Tim can use money money money.

my favourite show back in the day was money money money with Kathy Burke and James Dreyfuss

Both worked with Ben Stiller actually in the same film Night in the museum

Quite enchanting and an excellent guest. That Technology part of the show with Partridge was hilarious...Partridge a late substitute Presenter a la "One Show" introduces a "rare, special talent" that he has discovered and introduces "Simon" to the Narion amidst glowing praise and, gradually, thru Simon's total ineptitude gets more and more embarrassed by his "find" and cuts the segment,to which Simon enquires if he can still do the weather later and Coogan gives him the darkest look imaginable. Brilliant!

26:07 - It wasn't Money Money Money. It was Gimme Gimme Gimme, lads.

Yes

Simon Pegg has worked with both Coogan and Gervais. Spaced and Hot Fuzz.

😂...Do you mean "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"?

Tim Key was brilliant with Coogan on mid morning matters

I don't mind it.

Please have Tom Basden on next Mr Brydon ❤

*A lovely bit of skirt!*

I suspect Coogan will take Partridge and develop him til the end of his life, we'll get 90 year old Partridge, a bit like Peter Cook who performed his characters into old age. So much to look forward to, I hope he never puts it too bed, so much to mine! elderly senile Partridge

Definitely have more of the hand holding in future episodes. But sparingly.

Rob. It's Gimme Gimme Gimme. 👍🙄

The answer to 'who has worked with both Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan?'..... Katy Wix.... She was a girl in a nightclub being hit on by Barry and the manager in Extras, and she was the sleep analysis expert in the recent Partridge stuff...

That was lovely, but I’ve got to say If you haven’t already go back and check the Tim key simon App Store, interview from Maybe 15 years ago now, not sure Just still one of the funniest things ever
