| | 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. |
