Conclusive proof after all that Ricky Gervais is, as suspected, a one trick pony.

 

[StevieV]

The office was immense
His stand up acts are hysterical
Extras...is ok.

2 tricks at least!

 

[Hungry Joe]

This thread is funnier than Extras, especiallt Magoo's and Clapham Gull's contributions.

 

[Beefy]

I thought it was really funny.Basically the Office all over again but is that a bad thing?

 

[Rookie]

Funny, not as good as last weeks but still funny compared to the other tele that is on offer

 

[clapham_gull]

Personally I think stars playing themselves and sending themselves up in sitcoms very rarely works now.

"Sending yourself up" has become an established career move.

Slightly off topic, but what the f*ck is Kate Winslet doing walking round "her neighbourhood" in Camden Market with a credit card in that advert ?

I've never seen her and I worked there for 10 years.

Thought she'd done a Jane Seymour and buggered off to the states.

By the way Camden Market is rubbish, don't bother. The whole area is a dump full of alcoholics and annoying tourists.

 

[Bluejuice]

Ricky Gervais' new sitcom. Some funny moments but it's just not The Office is it?

 

[Gritt23]

I've seen them all so far, and I think they are excellent. The one with Ben Stiller had me in bits.

"You, erm Starsky or was it Hutch, I dunno."
"Was that supposed to be funny?"
"I dunno, you were in it."

There's a group of Mancs on an architecture site I visit (yes, I'm a bit of an architecture geek as well), who were comparing Camden with the Northern Quarter in Manchester http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=213518 Surely the Northern Quarter has far more to offer, and is very much up and coming (Manchester Seagulls?). I've always thought Camden was rather run down, and didn't offer much, though there is a good steak restaurant, and the canal looks very pleasant in that area.

 

[Gritt23]

Merge alert!

 

[clapham_gull]

No its a shit hole. The only thing the canal has to offer is the odd dead body.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

I must admit all I saw of the market was wide boys selling fake Burberry scarves.

and she was in Grange Hill!

I thought parts were funny, the bit where he was introduced the vicar made me laugh!

Watched it last week. Couldn't be bothered this week. Ironed my work shirts instead.
