Settle down guys, I meant no disrespect and I think many people realize (myself included) where the show originated. Just realize it isnt as readily available over here.

Sorry rev, just a little dig meant for the US version certainly not for yourself.
It was a lot funnier before it became apparent Gervais was playing himself.
And after the first season or so, the American one became a very different show in a lot of ways, so comparing them is kind of pointless, but we love our tribalism on here.

His career was always on the downward imo. The Office, Extras and early XFM radio shows he did with Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington were excellent. Since then he's not come close to matching it. The 2 films he starred in were piss poor and the less said about Derek and Life's Too Short the better. Mind you his latest series After Life was pretty good so that just proves my theory wrong and I'm talking out my arse.

Haha, love how you lost faith in your argument there.

The Office and Extras are equally superb, and the podcast thing he did with Merchant and Pilkington was often quite good (tho he was generally the weakest of the three participants). Life's Too Short had its moments, but it was weak enough that I haven't bothered with anything else. His public persona has also been off-putting enough that I haven't been curious enough to investigate more.

I love Extras, though mainly because of Ashley Jensen and David Bowie's brilliant cameo.

This happens more often than I care to admit.
