Exclusive: Sam Brown vividly recalls her visceral reaction to Steve Coogan. The BAFTA-winning actor was fresh from shooting a scene when he walked across a Cheshire graveyard in her direction.

Cook added that the unidentified mugger was armed and had an accomplice, both of whom ran before cops could catch up to them. (Ani)...
