He was good - the man who walks on backwards. I would put him third behind Partridge and Paul Calf as characters.

I also liked Ernest Moss - 'bleeding radiators!' mainly because I worked with a health and safety bore. Huge regret is refusing to go up on stage with Coogan at a live show, but he was in the character of Tony Ferrino at the time, so I knew I'd be embarrassed. Idiot. :)
 
Quick bump of this thread just in case it has gone under anybody's radar. I've listened to most of it and there is some excellent material in it I'd never heard before.
