Steve Coogan has said his Irish character Martin Brennan will return – and he plans to sing us another song.
In 2019, Coogan, whose parents are both from Ireland, caused a stir when he appeared as Martin Brennan, Alan Partridge’s Irish double, in an episode of spoof magazine show, This Time with Alan Partridge.
The Sligo farmer, all bad teeth and plastered hair, could easily have become an offensive caricature but Coogan is of Irish stock so it was accepted when Martin sang his own rendition of Come Out, Ye Black and Tans.
