THE FINAL COURSE.
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are hired to do their traditional tour of fine restaurants, this time in Greece, where the idea is to travel in the footsteps of Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca. The fourth miniseries in this franchise came with assurances from the director and the two stars that this would be their final outing. Bittersweet, even if thereās nothing here to raise oneās eyebrows. We get the mouth-watering meals, the old imitations, the odd bits of culture and historyā¦ and a tangible sense of death, as Cooganās father takes a turn for the worse back home.
