Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox television Introducing Tony Ferrino - Who? And Why? A Quest was a mockumentary about the life of Tony Ferrino, the parody Portuguese musical megastar played by Steve Coogan. It was written by Coogan and produced by Pozzitive Television.[1]

The interview followed on from The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon, broadcast on New Year's Day, 1997, a spoof concert given by Tony Ferrino (Coogan) which featured pop stars Mick Hucknall, Kim Wilde and Gary Wilmot in cameo roles.[2]

Introducing Tony Ferrino - Who? And Why? A Quest was broadcast the next day, ostensibly as a follow-up interview to maintain the illusion that Tony Ferrino was a real character, in which Peter Baynham joined Coogan as the slightly put-upon interviewer Ross Woollard.[3]

Reception

The character of Tony Ferrino was positively received, with The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon winning a Silver Rose at the Rose D'Or awards in Montreaux.[4] Coogan revived the character in his 1998 national tour 'The Man Who Thinks He's It', described by The Guardian as "raucously funny".[5]
