In a recent interview with the BBC, the comic actor was talking about The Office turning 20 and made a joke about the show being retroactively cancelled due to offensive jokes.
"I mean now it would be cancelled. I'm looking forward to when they pick out one thing and try to cancel it," he said. "Someone said they might try to cancel it one day, and I say, Good, let them cancel it. I've been paid!"

@@LiterallyMark1 Sadly its not quite that simple, the outlets available to advertisers is at an all time high already and the revenues dropped like a rock since RU-vid and other media. The gains to the BBC wouldnt go anywhere whats needed to produce what they do. Also...more advertising has a hidden cost.....when an advertiser uses media to advertise who do you think pays for it ?....you and I as costs for products increase to pay for that advertising spot. Nothing is free in this world.

My hairdresser’s husband went for a job with the Post Office. The bloke training them turned up in a tight shirt and no tie. He was obviously a gym fanatic and couldn’t do the last few buttons up. He then looked to all the females in the room and said “Don’t be looking at this ladies” pointing to his exposed chest “It’s this you should be concentrating on” circling his face. As she recounted the story David Brent popped into my head.

@AW-kr9fl День назад

I’d actually love someone like Brent as a boss. He’s actually very fair and there’s never anything bullying or malicious about him. He’s desperate for friends and would always go for a drink with staff. Many managers are nasty bullies who have an army of arse kissers around them. They target people they don’t like, socially isolate them and manage them out. Ironically, they are usually the most vocal about being “woke”. Brent, despite being cringe and incompetent wasn’t capable of behaving like that.

@tomservo4299 2 дня назад

Lol does anyone think that is progress?....I mean antons a lovely bloke.....

@shirleymental4189 2 дня назад

For the love of Jebus, never make another show about Brent. 12 episodes and a Christmas special. Perfic! And a film, yeah? The law of diminishing returns, init. Now a spin off about Pete Gibbons is another thing. Sounds like a fun bloke.

Why doesn't Ricky call everyone a mong anymore? It was great when he called everyone a mong. Then the woke brigade had a go at him for it. Now he's scared to call anyone a mong, when he used to call everyone a mong. Political correctness gone mad. And Derek was funny, when he played a spastic. And that bit in the After Life when the dog knew that the character, Ricky Gervais, was going to commit suicide and the dog made an intervention, saving Ricky Gervais' life. Now that is what I call writing.
