A Cock and Bull Story
“Because everyone loves an accurate period piece.”
Steve Coogan, an arrogant actor with low self-esteem and a complicated love life, is playing the eponymous role in an adaptation of "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" being filmed at a stately home. He constantly spars with actor Rob Brydon, who is playing Uncle Toby and believes his role to be of equal importance to Coogan's.
Directed by Michael Winterbottom, Jeff Abberley, David M. Thompson
