Gervais follow up to the Office.From the clips Ive seen I reckon its going to be quality but everything is set up for a big fat disappointment.

It looks good, got some top special guests like Samuel Jackson.

The problem is that the office was so good that people will always compare so even if it's good, some people won't be impressed.

Looking forward to it anyway.

Read a review in a Sunday paper and it's supposed to be cracking.  Not quite go the same been there done that feel of The Office but brilliant in it's own right.

I enjoyed it, thought Ben Stiller was very funny, Ricky's character was quite quiet though.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I liked it, yes.  Thought it was cleverly written - Ben Stiller's part (himself) was scripted well, and it was good to see that he was clearly up for a laugh with it - took the piss out of himself a fair bit.

Andy (Gervais) was a little like Brent - in that he's a bit of a brown nose, and slightly prejudiced - although he's a little brighter.

Thought it was good and will watch again.  

Anyone see Absolute Power?  Saw it for the first time last night and really enjoyed it.

BS - ''And who am I''
RG - ''Either Starsky or Hutch, I can never remember which one''
BS - ''Was that supposed to be funny''
RG - ''You tell me, you were in it''

I didnt watch it, I watched the Beslan documentary instead. really nasty. dead kids everywhere

Did anyone watch the "100 orgasms a day" program that was on at 11? these women had a condition called permanat sexual arousal syndrome. They ended up hating it as they'd need a wank every 10 minutes to relieve the tension :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I thought it was quite good, although some of it made me cringe and not in the way The Office did.

The show afterwards was quite good - the ginger sanctuary 8)

Yeah, some of the scetches in that show are awfull though, bits of it are good - like the ginger sanctury, yes.

The ginger sanctury was quality.  I must say though i normally hate that bloody woman, she does my head in.

Anyone else see tonights episode? I missed the first one, but thought this was excellent. Gervais is not as cringe-inducing, and there are some really funny moments. Ross Kemp was funny as fuck, and there was an excellent hard-man ( :-))( ) cameo by Vinster Jones. 9.5/10 ('cause nobodys perfect :wink: )
