Paul Calf's Video Diary
Paul Calf's Video Diary is a British comedy written by and starring Steve Coogan.
It was produced by Geoff Posner and David Tyler for Pozzitive Television, and resulted in the follow-up video diary Pauline Calf's Wedding Video, which won the 1995 BAFTA for Best Comedy.Overview
The main plot revolves around Mancunian wastrel Paul, who has decided to chronicle his life via a video diary. The cast included Steve Coogan, playing both Paul and his sister Pauline, John Thomson as Fat Bob, Patrick Marber as Roland, and Sally Rogers as Paul's long-suffering girlfriend Julie.
The character of Paul Calf was resurrected in a one-off episode of Coogan's Run, entitled 'Get Calf', which aired in 1995. Talks were underway with the BBC about the possibility of a Paul Calf spin-off series, but this never came to fruition.
