DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD - In UK & Irish Cinemas August 19.
BOOK TICKETS NOW at www.davidbrent-...
DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD sees the highly anticipated big screen debut of one of comedy’s best-loved characters, David Brent (Ricky Gervais). The film catches up with Brent twelve years on from the BBC mockumentary ‘The Office’ to find he is now a travelling salesman with Lavichem, a cleaning and ladies’ personal hygiene products company. However, he hasn’t given up on his dream of rock stardom and is about to embark on a self-financed UK tour with his band, ‘Foregone Conclusion’.
Assembling a group of session musicians who are just in it for the money, and talented rapper Dom (Ben Bailey Smith) in an attempt to gain street cred, Brent cashes in his pensions and takes unpaid leave in a bid to turn his dream into reality. Get ready to join David Brent on the road as he takes one last shot at fame and fortune.
DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD is written, directed by and stars Ricky Gervais, with original music and lyrics by Gervais, musical arrangement by Andy Burrows (Razorlight, We Are Scientists) and raps by Ben Bailey Smith.

"It's equidistant between London and Reading" is the greatest lyric I've ever heard

@morkofork 6 лет назад

@sexypoetry 6 лет назад

it should be on talking heads album "more songs about buildings and food" ...david byrne once said something like "i tried to sing banal lyrics with lot of emotion" and this is the modus operandi that gervais pilfered, with less success.

@themasteryourdaddy.6307 6 лет назад

I know right. I'm a bus driver. I feel like playing the song to my passengers everyday. But I can't, it would be illgeal. But love Slough. My bus company is awesome. So is the movie and the song.

@jeffoliver2298 5 лет назад

Ricky Gervais comes from Reading, so it's likely he would have written a song with a Reading reference in it.

@jeffoliver2298 5 лет назад

@@themasteryourdaddy.6307 'But love Slough', you say. I'm sure it has positive things to it but Ricky Gervais is certainly being ironic here. If there was a poll listing the greatest places to live and work in the UK Slough wouldn't be very near the top I am sure - no offence to Slough people. Because everyone puts it down all the time, he wrote a song 'praising' it, but obviously tongue in cheek. In the film, just before he performs this, he says 'Slough is the greatest place in the world' - if someone wrote a song about football and said that Dartford were the greatest football team in England it would be obvious they were being ironic, rather like Ricky Gervais saying Slough is the greatest place on earth is him being ironic.

As a Slough boy from the 80s, Slough was a fantastic place to grow up in the 80s and early 90s but unfortunately it's died a death and is only a shadow of what it once was, even Brent's intervention can't save it nevertheless this song brings back good memories.👌👌

@lazyeejay 3 года назад

@Jonathan Healey I think it's lack of investment, it was a thriving vibrant town with independent stores etc but I do believe online shopping, lack of investment and putting pound shops to fill units has led to a decline. I know this has happened all over the country but I have seen it with my own eyes, working in Slough in one of the busy centres for 10 years and seeing the gradual decline. The centre I worked in had wonderful staff and it was sold over and over again to simply make money.

@fraxis2007 4 года назад

He is a very talented musician, but kind of knows that doing it for real alongside his other stuff might be pushing his luck with critics a bit. I like how he found a way to have his cake and eat it though! My favourite spoof musical character is Brian Pern, but despite the character and mockumentary style being perfect, the songs and production are just weak ‘comedy song’ pastiches that undermine the idea that Pern is up there with Peter Gabriel. Gervais’s work is absolutely pro level.
