This is one of many scenes that caught my attention with the pilot episode. These are the strongest characters n the show by far. I love the way they both manage the situation.
bit weird how Derek started off as a character who lived with his nan etc and it was just ricky gervais taking the piss out of the "mentally handicapped" or "mongs" and when he belatedly realised that was unacceptable it suddenly turned into "a show about kindness" LOL pull the other one, son
@@brandonluke9245 he's correct, Ricky has had the character for many years almost as long as David Brent and has shifted his perspective as time has gone by. it doesn't make ricky a bad person, because Comedy has shifted within that time frame as well. Like the fact that everyone loves Only Fools and Horses but forgets that the early episodes David Jason would more than once refer to the "Paki Shop" culture & comedy changes with time. simple as that.
