amazing. Paul McMullen is almost too much of a caricature to be true. He's like a character actor for 'amoral tabloid hack'. It must be an amazing existence to have virtually no understanding of morality.
2:33 'You take 5 million a movie then bleet about your phone being hacked' I'm sorry, when did the amount your paid for a film have ANYTHING to do with having your phone hacked?
‘Freedom of the press’ doesn't give you the right to resort to criminal behaviour to turn the public against celebrities over what they chose to do in their own private lives. That being said, I feel sorry for anyone who buys the Daily Mail or The Sun and takes it anymore than a joke.
Try working on a building site for 6 months (I'm not slagging off all builders here btw). The thinly veiled xenophobic attitudes of the tabloid papers in the uk and constant fear mongering is completely trusted and believed by a lot of people. I think the internet in some way has forced papers to become more sensationalist in order to survive. It's a bit scary sometimes.
I buy the Daily Mail every day. No other newspaper an boast such an enviable list of cartoons (including Charlie Brown and Garfield), crosswords, sudokos, and they have this great puzzle called the Gogen. It's addictive you should try it.
I find it odd when people single out specific papers, lets not fall into the trap of thinking that ANY newspaper doesn’t mislead, misinform and misrepresent, The Mirror and Guardian are no better than the Sun and Mail, they are all abhorrent and should all be consigned to the dustbin.
@@bobsocks7575 But also don't fall into the trap of thinking they're all as bad as each other, it's simply false. Tabloids (The Sun, The Mirror etc.) are much worse regardless of their position because they use sensationalism as a tactic. Can't blame them, it sells better. Just look at how many libel scandals The Daily Mail has had over the years, compared to The Guardian or The Times. Then again, in 2022 how many people are buyings newspapers who are under 70? Probably not many. People get their news from Facebook and other internet forms now, much worse than even the tabloids.
Credit to Steve Coogan for keeping his temper and exposing Mcmullen for the gobshite he clearly is, and also for not punching his lights out as his body language clearly implies at the end of the clip :). I hope Murdoch's whole bloody empire crumbles around him and he lives long enough to realise he was the author of his own misfortune. BigArfur9
i expected Coogan to say to McMullen ; "if you saw a lovely field with a family having a picnic and there's a nice pond in it, you'd fill in the pond with concrete, you'd plough the family into the field, you'd blow up the tree and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife who's also your brother" missed opportunity Steve
"And, also, archers. I hate archers, “The Archers” and Jeffrey Archer. You’re all deceitful cowards. I just realized then, that only applies to archers and Jeffrey Archer. But not “The Archers”, who… to be fair, are a mixed bag. Goodbye."
I haven't bought a tabloid newspaper for approx 15 years, so when I leaf through a discarded one on the train it's like reading a comic book. I fucking hate the world we now live in & have pretty much turned into a recluse. I'm not morally superior & I do things that are illegal, but those immoral/illegal things only affect me & involve nobody else.
The most worrying thing about this whole affair is that 4/10 Sunday newspapers bought in the UK were the News of the World. WHO THE HELL BUYS A MURDOCH RED TOP LET ALONE A MURDOCH MEDIA OUTLET.
Never thought I'd feel sorry for a journalist, especially this dude. But wow Coogan wiped the floor with him, he looked like someone shit in his cereal by the end.
+richards9407 I bet you have lots of old film, and images of old Adolf in you special hidden security room. I bet you also knew he was a vegetarian non-smoking teetotaler.
Actually I knew he was vegetarian but not a teetotaler or non smoker. Strange how someone can not believe in eating animals but then murder people isn't it?
Paul Mcmullen comes across as a very nasty, (self) hateful man, and he seems very angry and it seems he loves to get other people angry. Hes jealous of successful people and the presenter nailed it when she said hes a tortured soul.
oh, and you've got a 30 minute slot with Newsnight tonight. And I've told them you'll be late to allow for complications. Excellent Lyn.... that was textbook.
Ah, such accountability from the oh so honourable BBC. Oh no wait, only a year later was the full horror of their beloved presenter Jimmy Savile unveiled. The BBC have more blood, hurt and shame on their hands than all private owned newspapers in Britain put together.
The world needs more enlightened people like you, you're so intelligent why squander it here on youtube!? Your enlightenment NEEDS to be shared with the world
Wow, Paul McMullen should have just stood up, took down his pants, bent over and said "Please be gentle and use Lube" Steve Coogan: "No, fucking, chance."
You know what Steve? Tough! You're a rich celebrity and as much I like you you knew what it would be like when you got into comedy come on are you five? Unfortunately no journalist is interested enough in Paul McMullen to camp outside his house! Imean I know it must be hard but I struggle to sympathise with rich celebs, even ones I like like Steve.
He's a celebrity because he writes brilliant comedy. He's rich for the same reason. What does that have to do with anything? Why is his personal life anyone's business? If you were to make a lot of money through whatever it is you do does that suddenly give people the right to know what you do behind closed doors? No, of course it bloody doesn't.
I can't believe this has been uploaded to youtube before it's even been encoded on the iPlayer. Get it sorted, BBC, random internet users are outclassing you!

You feed beef burgers to swans.
Perhaps you could tell me what's wrong with feeding swans beef burgers?
I've seen the big eared boys on the farms..
***** all you farmers with big noses and stop getting bond wrong!
jesus shaves bash your arse!!
***** back of the net!
Crash, bang, wallap, what an interview!
This is incredible. Even down to the state of his tie. How did this man become entrusted with defending the paper on TV.
amazing. Paul McMullen is almost too much of a caricature to be true. He's like a character actor for 'amoral tabloid hack'. It must be an amazing existence to have virtually no understanding of morality.
Lets applaud Paul McMullen and the hard work done by Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks for preventing Hitler taking power in England.
I was watching this last night and could hardly believe it was even on. What a piece of television. Go on Coogan!
2:33
'You take 5 million a movie then bleet about your phone being hacked'
I'm sorry, when did the amount your paid for a film have ANYTHING to do with having your phone hacked?
Hugh Grant plays this guy exactly in The Gentlemen. Once you see it you can't unsee it
I bet he rang Lynn after this.
Good comedians are usually excellent actors and highly intelligent. Coogan is a step above that.
Coogan is a comedian ..he should stick at comedy the left wing fckn prat .
Paul McMullen's crappy day court suit makes this all the more tragic.
you journalists, you dont like outsiders do you.. like to stick to your own..
+filmneek hahah no they dont! They only like fellow inbred, sold out, establishment kissing "presstitutes". What pieces of shit.
Mooooooooooooo!
Needless to say, I had the last laugh
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coogan's ace! I can't help seeing him as Partridge, which makes it even better.
+Joseph Buckton getting more of a tommy saxondale vibe on this one
Mike Ryan what the hell are you talking about you weirdo
oh i see, youre having an anti tabloid rant. i dont much like them either. i do however enjoy the comedy stylings of steve coogan.
SMELL MY CHEESE!!!
When Coogan said "Let me finish" I wanted to say "NOW YOU KNOW HOW ROB BRYDON FELT!!!"

Free speech is free speech
Marxists don’t like it
He might have kept his temper but he didn't want to let anyone else talk.
Paul McMullen, what planet are you on?
He believes he is the hero of the story.
You can tell Coogan is really getting into this as he is not stuttering.
I’m not driving a mini metro. I’m not driving a mini metro. I’m not driving a mini metro......
i expected Coogan to say to McMullen ;

missed opportunity Steve
Thanks for putting up
He went so Partridge when he said "its BS"
"And, also, archers. I hate archers, “The Archers” and Jeffrey Archer. You’re all deceitful cowards. I just realized then, that only applies to archers and Jeffrey Archer. But not “The Archers”, who… to be fair, are a mixed bag. Goodbye."
I'm surprised there's a lot of one-dimensional Alan Partridge jokes here and yet no one picked out the quote at 5:13?
I haven't bought a tabloid newspaper for approx 15 years, so when I leaf through a discarded one on the train it's like reading a comic book. I fucking hate the world we now live in & have pretty much turned into a recluse. I'm not morally superior & I do things that are illegal, but those immoral/illegal things only affect me & involve nobody else.
How Steve refrained himself from cracking that guy in the mouth as soon as they were clear, I’ll never know. A better man than I.
Many thanks for posting. I'm stuck in USA and would have had no chance of watching this.
Could we get Coogan to do it again as Tommy Saxondale?
'Oh I didn't realise you were on a moral crusade' tickled me
My jaw just hit the floor before Steve said anything. I was 13 years old when this happened and I, like everyone else was deeply appalled.
The most worrying thing about this whole affair is that 4/10 Sunday newspapers bought in the UK were the News of the World. WHO THE HELL BUYS A MURDOCH RED TOP LET ALONE A MURDOCH MEDIA OUTLET.
Never thought I'd feel sorry for a journalist, especially this dude. But wow Coogan wiped the floor with him, he looked like someone shit in his cereal by the end.
Coogan destroyed his cereals
That title was wrong, it should be Steve Coogan: actor, comedian, genius !
Steve Coogan is wrong. Hitler wasn't nice to dogs. I saw some old film of him walking his Alsatian and he had the lead far too tight.
richards9407 Bastard. I was on the fence about him but this has pushed me over the edge.
+richards9407 I bet you have lots of old film, and images of old Adolf in you special hidden security room.
I bet you also knew he was a vegetarian non-smoking teetotaler.
Actually I knew he was vegetarian but not a teetotaler or non smoker. Strange how someone can not believe in eating animals but then murder people isn't it?
Yes. And his tart.
+richards9407 There you go - Vegetarianism: not always a good thing. Can in some extreme cases lead to genocide.
@GlengarryGlennBeck Whats your favourite muse album?
Do you know there are only 1000 dutch elms left in the Norfolk area....absolutely disgusting
Paul Mcmullen comes across as a very nasty, (self) hateful man, and he seems very angry and it seems he loves to get other people angry. Hes jealous of successful people and the presenter nailed it when she said hes a tortured soul.
He hasn't bounced back, has he?
@@inspectortanzi Pulped.
Haha go Coogan you absolute hero!
You can see in Paul McMullen's eyes that he absolutely despises himself.
Technically your life isn’t worth insuring Paul.
oh, and you've got a 30 minute slot with Newsnight tonight. And I've told them you'll be late to allow for complications. Excellent Lyn.... that was textbook.
Just became a major Steve Coogan fan. Tear him up stevo!
Ah 11 years ago, back in the days when people were held accountable and facts mattered.
Ah, such accountability from the oh so honourable BBC. Oh no wait, only a year later was the full horror of their beloved presenter Jimmy Savile unveiled. The BBC have more blood, hurt and shame on their hands than all private owned newspapers in Britain put together.
cheers man
@cobster048 So that means it's right for a private phone to be hacked?
The world needs more enlightened people like you, you're so intelligent why squander it here on youtube!? Your enlightenment NEEDS to be shared with the world
" STEVE COOGAN " TOP CLASS "
She mentioned the fake sheikh while listing the NOTW's achievements, you couldn't make it up!
Steve Coogan is a legend! Blobby!!!
Smell my cheese, McMullen.
Steve Coogan is clearly very intelligient. This NOWL guy should be put behind bars.
Imagine science allowed the same amount of minimum fact as the tabloid stories . I find this a good perspective
How come there is 5 pages of comments and only 301 views? Now that is very strange.
Gaw on, Steve! 🥊😠🥊👏👏👏
all u haterz just dont understand him, the man just loves high quality goss
2 people out of 34,203 actually read the News Of The World.
Yes steve
LOL! One thumbs down, gues Mr McMullen signed in to see how he looked! :D
coogan 1 - mcmullen 0. Classic clip
Nice one steve. Top man!
I have watched Paul McMullan try to defend the indefensible several times and he appears to have demonstrated he has no soul or conscience.
This is great. I wish more Americans would see this.
Why do you care what Americans think? Are you a clichéd poodle?
If only the media truly held power to account.
After the interview Coogan went out the back to destroy his cerials!
coogan's Freudian slips are very well placed
Every time he clicks his pen a tabloid newspaper dies.
Coogan is 100% right here.
Needles to say, Steve had the last laugh
Steve Coogan = Awesome
Dan !!!
Paul McMullen...what can be said about such a deplorable individual
I agree with you.
Most people would not accept the gift of integrity even if it was given away for free.
Wow, Paul McMullen should have just stood up, took down his pants, bent over and said "Please be gentle and use Lube"
Steve Coogan: "No, fucking, chance."
Comparing Coogan 11 yrs ago to now, he has aged exponentially.
Everyone ages. It's nature's way
Was hoping him to break out a "You feed beef burgers to swans"
Who's sleeping with 'whom' Steve. In his autobiography he states he's a stickler for grammar.
aha
this is radio norwich now chris rea
You know what Steve? Tough! You're a rich celebrity and as much I like you you knew what it would be like when you got into comedy come on are you five? Unfortunately no journalist is interested enough in Paul McMullen to camp outside his house! Imean I know it must be hard but I struggle to sympathise with rich celebs, even ones I like like Steve.
There was definitely a few moments where ALAN came out
Paul McMullen is closely related to something smelly I scraped off my shoe the other day...
'what right do you have to listen to someone's messages?' - 'errm'
After watching this my suggestion box has suggested "Luther" and "Sanctuary".Way to go Utube.....show me the money.
Steve coogan should have seriously pulled out some Alan Partridge insults here!
paul mcmullen must have an iq of 50
Coogan needed a haircut.
Emily needed to stop interrupting and let them go
@barleyarrish we are not far from it. keep spreading the truth. peace
'Grubby, shallow lives'
haha- he is one to talk!
Thanks. Very interesting. That Paul Mcmullen is bloody slimy and can't justify such actions.
DO YOU DENY THAT?!
He's a celebrity because he writes brilliant comedy. He's rich for the same reason. What does that have to do with anything? Why is his personal life anyone's business? If you were to make a lot of money through whatever it is you do does that suddenly give people the right to know what you do behind closed doors? No, of course it bloody doesn't.

Correction £5 million and all his houses.
the sooner the advertisers cease to deal with murdoch and his rubbish papers the better.
NOTW was worse than the Daily Mail and that’s saying something.
Pleasure it is you with debating.
the idea of snooping is a throwback to communism
