y'know I'm really not impressed by Gervais anymore. He's singularly failed to do anything as ambitious as the Office, and his podcast was the same old self-indulgent Karl-baiting he'd been doing on Xfm since 2002. I won't be d/ling any more of em. You?
I think that I'm at the different end of the Gervais spectrum to you, bro. My experience has been so far limited to the Office, and a couple of Extras episode, so I'm not sick of him yet, but I totally understand where you're coming from. I think the fame is getting to him, and he's about to hit the "difficult 3rd album" stage, which will make or break him creatively. If he chooses to go down the Coldplay road and give in to the deanery, that would be a shame, but hopefully he will try something ambitious again. Hard to say right now...
