Novice (and failing) stand-up Duncan Thickett welcomes back the chain-smoking Paul Calf and his 'dead sophisticated' sister for a live performance. Pauline's had her hair done, her belly pierced and a misspelt Chinese tattoo; while Paul has a new girlfriend Cheryl Denton (played by Karen Taylor) and has souped-up his mum's disability buggy. There are also some surprises: Paul treats us to a love song while Pauline performs an excerpt from her one-woman show, 'Floss - The Story of Florence Nightingale'.

An unconventional look at the best of Steve Coogan's television work and character comedy. With classic archive moments and some rarely seen early appearances, this one-hour special includes interviews with well-known faces who have collaborated with Steve, including Julia Davis, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, while Steve himself appears as his Irish auntie Peggy and Mickey Gold - his first showbiz agent.

There comes a time in every man's life when he must end his ten year hiatus from live performance and embark on his 86 date sell out tour. For Steve Coogan that time came in October 2008. Armed with nothing more than a hire car, a Little Chef loyalty card and a support staff of 35, Coogan criss-crossed the nation, reintroducing us to some of his best-loved characters. Paul and Pauline Calf, Tommy Saxondale, Duncan Thicket and, of course, Norwich’s favourite son, Alan Gordon Partridge are all featured on Steve Coogan's first live DVD for over 10 years.

As premiered on Sky Atlantic HD. Steve Coogan’s Stand Up Down Under charts the highs and lows of Steve’s 2009 tour across Australia and New Zealand. This is a candid behind the scenes look at one of the UK’s top comedians as he tours with some of his most well loved characters, from Paul and Pauline Calf to Alan Partridge. Steve Coogan gives us his unique look at Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland whilst giving us an insight into the backstage banter and what life on the road is really like as a touring comedian.
