 BBC News | FILM | Coogan's Manchester party time
Coogan, better known for his TV comic creation Alan Partridge than his film roles, is a Manchester lad - a "defiant northerner" as he puts it - and a fan of the music that the film, 24 Hour Party People, revolves around.
Coogan says that his own days of clubbing and gigging came in the fallow mid-1980s, when The Human League and Spandau Ballet were the height of cool and, with hindsight, "music was a bit rubbish".
Coogan charts how Wilson, a local TV news reporter, was inspired by a Sex Pistols gig in 1976 and founded Factory with just one contract, written in his own blood, saying that the musicians owned everything and Factory owned nothing.

Steve Coogan's inspired, off-the-cuff lead performance in 2002's Brit-rock biopic 24 Hour Party People had American critics heralding the arrival of a unique new talent -- but to U.K. audiences, his star turn was the next logical step for one of that country's most celebrated comics.

Coogan laughs at the convoluted insight of that statement.
