Derek - C4 tonight

[andyjo1982]

Anyone know if this is likely to be any good?

[Jasandjules]

Looking at the advert, No.

[Big Fat Fatty]

Probably not, and I like most of Gervais' stuff.

Can't stand that Pilkington cockend.

Whilst there will be funny moment, its not an outright comedy is it?

I'll give it a chance I think, but my expectations are low. I do like Gervais stuff usually, but Lifes too short was poor imo...

[Goa'uld]

Is it the 1st episode tonight? I thought it was on last week and couldn't work out why it's not on 4OD.......this would solve that little mystery!

[Steamer]

I'm looking forward to.

'Life's too short' - was lost on me, didnt find it funny at all.

The trailers for Derek have put a smile on my face already though.

I think its going to be good but from the trailers ive seen it looks like its based around all the funny stuff that karls said already so we'll have to just wait and see how it goes

This is NOT the usual Ricky Gervais thing.

I have not seen it yet, but I heard the review of it on Five Live. By all accounts it is more drama than comedy, so don't expect the usual awkward laughs.

It seems that Gervais is genuinely looking to show he is not a one trick pony.

And by all accounts the press viewing was good. Cynical Journo's going there to shoot Gervais down, pretty much universally liked it.

I will track it down on 4OD I think..

[CivicMan]

Didn't like it , uncomfortable viewing.

[The_Burg]

Anybody else think this is the real Ricky?

Not seen it yet but the trailer did not look good.

Tbh, everything since Extras Series 1 has been a bit crap. Hate to say but somewhat of a one trick pony based around uncomfortable situations.
