Steve Coogan uses The Trip to avoid lengthier driving ban

Coogan’s letter to the court read: “I have a series of important film commitments scheduled for 2025, many of which involve driving as a central component of the work.

“I am due to appear in a well-established TV series called The Trip which as the title suggests requires me to drive.

“This starts filming towards the end of June 2025 and if I were unable to drive, the production would likely be unable to proceed.”

The Trip is a largely improvised comedy show directed by Michael Winterbottom, which stars Coogan and Brydon as fictionalised versions of themselves, dealing with life and often doing impressions while taking foodie trips around the UK, Italy, Spain and Greece.

Coogan won the Bafta TV Award for best male performance in a comedy role in 2011 for his part in series one of The Trip, which bagged best sitcom the same year.

The star previously argued for a shorter driving ban on another occasion in 2019, noting how an an extended disqualification would mean he could not film the new series of Alan Partridge.
