The Trip

Michael Winterbottom directs this BBC comedy following Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as they tour the north of England, sampling the best restaurants of Lancashire, Yorkshire and the Lake District.

Fiction and reality blur as the two comedians play darker and more desperate embellishments of themselves.

Gorging themselves on ever more elaborate dishes in the North's fanciest restaurants, they ruminate on masculinity, identity, love, relationships, ageing, fame and the nature of success - not to mention who can do the best impersonation of Michael Caine.
