Gervais and Merchant just seemed to have made Warwick Davis into David Brent, and then thrown a few of their famous mates in, as in Extras. The scene a week or so back involving the Catholic priest and the jibes about touching kids up were the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
No, I'm afraid that I hated it - but I'm not keen on Ricky Gervaise so I change channel with any programme that has him connected to it. On the other hand, I really enjoy "Rev".
