Steve Coogan has inadvertently announced a new series of The Trip while shirking a driving ban for speeding at almost 100mph.
In August 2019, he narrowly avoided a full six-month driving ban after a magistrates court took into account the “hardship” it would cause for people working on an Alan Partridge travelogue series.
Coogan revealed that the series will start filming “towards the end of June 2025”, adding: “If I were unable to drive, the production would likely be unable to proceed.”.
