    First series was genius, with a moving end.

    Yes, top comedy all the way through. A difficult subject was handled brilliantly by the cast. I presume that the same team are in Series 2 - now that Karl Pilkington has done all his Idiot Abroad stuff I hope he hasn't dropped this one.

    Really looking forward to it. I'm probably in the minority on here but I think Ricky Gervais is a fantastic actor, whatever he is in

    Ive never seen it but I'll give it a go, I love Gervais live but didn't like The Office or Extra's, so I'll see.

    I just didn't think the first season was funny at all. Not my thing. Wouldn't pay for us all to be the same though.

    I think Gervais said all he needed to say in the very first episode TBH, since then every episode has been almost exactly the same and going nowhere, one series was too much, two series is far too much, anyone other than Gervais and it wouldn't have been commissioned.

    I'm with Dougie, I can't take it anymore, I'm out.

    I find The Office to be quite unfunny. The US one on the other hand is one of the best things i've ever watched. But I know plenty of people who think it's the other way round. Each to their own, I guess. Gonna give Derek a watch though when I get round to it.

    Not so many laugh out loud moments in Ep 1 and Dougie does appear to be out of it but I wonder if he will just come back next week.

    He didn't have much of a part but the spider bit was hilarious
