AC1 3,565 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Usually the movie is never quite as good as the TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,391 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 True. But the surprise success and quality of the Alan Partridge movie shown that the mould can be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I adored Coogan's cameo from In The Loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 1,308 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yep, looking forward to this. Much prefer the original Office, and I've enjoyed Extras, Life's Too Short, Derek and his stand-up work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 5,273 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yep, looking forward to this. Much prefer the original Office, and I've enjoyed Extras, Life's Too Short, Derek and his stand-up work.Same here. Plus the Karl Pilkington shows, which are basically Gervais' and Merchant's baby. This should be good. Sweeping Strings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The Ricky Gervais Show was pretty good. Koray Savas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,971 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The Office and Extras are the only things I've liked Gervais in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 5,273 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The Office and Extras are the only things I've liked Gervais in.You should see DEREK. Brilliant show, quite different from those. Yes, there are bits of the 'embarassment' comedy, but it's mostly a poignant melodrama that made me tear up on multiple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,391 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I tried Derek and didn't make it past 20 minutes. It looked meandering and unfunny (the part where he falls into the pond I saw coming a mile off and that's where I switched off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 5,273 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Oh well. We all react differently to different things, I guess.I really hope they get a third season off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj_vader 407 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Bit Biased from me, I can't wait! I've loved all of Ricky's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,391 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Oh well. We all react differently to different things, I guess.I really hope they get a third season off the ground.It has a strong cult following so I hear. A third season is bound to happen if Gervais is still up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I wonder. Is Merchant the silent power behind the success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
