I wonder how Merchant feels about these experiments with Brent.Feels like he's had very little imput (to me at least). Cant help but get the feeling the working relationship between the two is on the wane.
I doubt Merchant had any input at all. I don't think they'll be working together again - LTS was appalling and I think both have different ambitions now. Merchant has a new sitcom coming out sometime next year I think in the US while Gervais has Derek, his Brent stuff and another Golden Globes to present.I wonder when/if we'll see Karl again.
Anyone seen the full length new video?
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.
Link?
Crosby Nick never fails.
Just watching the Christmas Special on Gold at the moment, what a brilliant ending.
He never shows mercy, he would put 6 past your sons school team.
And that is why Fitzy is the true GOAT.

I wish Gervais would leave the Brent stuff alone.It was great how they left it for the best part of 10 years and went to do other things; most of which I liked. Also they left it with one of the greatest TV finales ever and it wrapped nearly everything up very neatly.It rarely works bringing something that iconic backFavourite episode was the Quiz, "Who's the Cuban Leader" "Fray Bentos" and "This is the Real Quiz". Quality stuff
I was only young when this first aired so missed out on it originally. Watched them all on Netflix recently and it's now amongst my favourite shows ever.I've just gone through this thread laughing at all the quotes despite having heard them all already over the last few days.One scene not mentioned in here is when Brent is told he's getting fired, and then he stands up with the charity costume on. It's not as genius as a lot of the lines in the show, but it made me laugh more than most for some reason. Also in the Christmas special when an incredulous Neil walks in and finds David introducing all the staff to his dog, Nelson.
People go, "Why is it important, a question about Mr. Spock?" Oh, I go, "It's like saying I've got a new pedigree dog breed. It's half Alsatian, half Labrador". I go on to Crufts, I go, "Can I enter this dog in the Labrador section?" "No." "Why?" "Because it's not a Labrador." "Correct." "Can I enter it in the Alsatian section?" "No. For the same reasons. Now get that dog out of my sight." "Thanks, I will. You've proved my point." And that's Crufts. All right.
I would honestly let Wijnaldum jizz in my face right now
It won't end well.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
Gervais is desperate. Knows that Derek is turgid, the Pilkington well has run dry and he has run out of ideas. So he's going to shit on his body work to squeeze every last drop out of his career. Real shame.
