    I once got slated by Tim Oliver (years ago) on UA-cam for posting 'he's just a fat bloke with glasses' not because I was trolling him but because that is what Ricky had just said in an interview on the Graham Norton show...and I even put it in quotes.. But honestly he's brilliant and has completely nailed all of Brent's mannerisms. And Tim did a video for my 50th 3 years ago which was so funny!! Love it!

    This guys great but there's something eerily similar, to not only Brent but Gervais, the way he touches his beard and purses his lips sometimes, the rasp in his laugh and the odd pronunciations rick has like "summit" for something, or WERM for worm. The man his invested all his energy into imitating a character and has somehow become the man behind the character. What's happened to the pre-office version of this gentlemen. Has someone else's meat suit taken him over and he's in Dalston somewhere pissing in a trolley?
