18-5-2020: Wow. Took me five years to find this and I binged watched it in two days. To me this made me laugh, smile, cringe, cry, and think about the meaning and value of life. There are real life folk such as Derek, and Ricky you must have had some contact in your life to portray this so well. Ps bloody hell, the dog scenes got me and I’m a bloody 50 year old kiwi in the upside down world.
the character Derek has helped me so much, i love that guy and i love Ricky Gervais obviously but, Derek is the kind of person all people should strive to be. "just be kind"
Like or loath Ricky Gervais you can't deny his ability to write the most stunning drama's, Derek and Afterlife. They're so well written, they make me laugh and cry uncontrollably in equal measure. The office and extras were both great , but his later stuff is just amazing.
I completely.... DISAGREE. I love Gervais but his later dramitic shit is so poorly written, the shows are repetitive and follow the same reductive pattern of manipulation- an OTT reflective monologue (where characters inexplicably start talking about their views on life in overly verbose and deep ways) whilst some sad litle piano music plays over the top. Tat is not good writing, that is eaasily achieved. His early work was very good, and the dramatic moments -without the paint-by-numbers emotional blackmail- were good too. This is transparently mawkish shit.
wow - 6minutes in karl really nails home a great point about saving people and the spider under the door scenario to make themselves feel better. greatly put. I see where he is coming from but they are great actors also.
The real Gerv/Smerch/Dilkington crew will get this. I was listening to this but not looking at the screen, at approx 5:45 when Karl says "...when I nearly died from that..." and I was expecting him to say "the Mr Freeze Pop..."
For me Karl is one of the most real characters in this. I don't know why he left, but he was made for this role. Karl has said he isnt really an actor, but I think he under estimates himself...everything he does has such a sense of realism, that his scenes become not like a scene at all; more a behind the scenes.
He said he wasn't happy because he felt insecure. He thought he didn't belong on the set with such experienced performers, although I don't think they would agree. The pressure was mainly in his mind. Ricky wouldn't have cast someone who couldn't keep up in such a big role. It's a shame, because he played Dougie so well, and he wasn't just playing himself. The character was based on him but there was a script-he had to do proper acting and he was brilliant at it. He has natural talent, and he was able to improvise. Also, he claims he didn't like the shooting schedule/time commitment-long hours on location away from his DIY, etc. I suspect his twisted relationship with Ricky was another factor.
I can't help but look at Derek (the program, not the character) through a kind of Gervais/Zeitgeist lens. I wonder if Derek would have been given this life were it not for Ricky's only professional apology. Actually, that's probably what Derek is. An extension of his apology.
i had Dereks career until my accident in 2014 i havent worked since but anyway Ricky has done his homework as its pretty accurate ..oh I was a nurse in Brighton. had a TBI
People slag off Ricky Gervais cos he tells it like it is and I don't know of any other comedy actor who is English and living next door to Robert de Niro, Ricky please come back and make another program like the office or Derek, Ricky Gervais is liked by alot of British people and we need U
I thought Derek was one of the most thoughtful and tender comedy/docu comedy shows ever.
when derek is talking about animals it's the most real and touching thing...I love derek so much
It's all so true. :)
That’s how I feel about animals 🐑🦌🦆🐍🦅🐴🐗🐺🐛🐜🐢🐙🐟🐬🐳🦀🦖🐞🐝❤️❤️❤️
"Whats your favorite animal?" "Oh i like horses" "OH HORSES! I like horses, do you like the small ones?" "Dogs?"
It’s just like Ricky himself, he really loves animals
Amazing show again Rick. Changed my life it really did,Derick is the truest human being there is.
A truly brilliant sad touching and downright hysterical series and a genius in writing by Ricky Gervais
Ive been honoured to have known a few Dereks in my life.
❤
Derek is not shit it's very smart and very thoughtful, it made me cry
Aright Norfolk chill out
Who said it was shit?!
Stop doing school, stay in drugs
@@Cygnus0lor ha! I'm having that! Lol.
@sparkyinbath ha yea, of course. Where in the hell is your sitcom?
This all should have been in the shows. There is not nearly enough Derek on tv. Please bring it back. I've watched them all 4 times.

@@ots1634 So you're on the fence then 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nigel2093 yeah lol
even the deleted scenes are genius
Derek is the best part of all of us.
I love Derek. I've NEVER watched a series that made me laugh and cry every episode. I wish the series had continued. "Fuck it". :)
Totally agree didn’t want it to end :(
@Rowan Melton I can still dream. 😊
Tell you what! Ricky smashed this character 👏👏👏👏👏love Derek..... Makes me laugh & cry..... We all need a Derek!!!!!!!!
Totally agree ❤️
great show, very happy what this show has given us
Never seen this before...its just plain beautiful!!!💝
Just watched Season 1 Episode 6. Balled my freaking eyes out! This show is incredible
Apex I couldn't stop crying. When the car stops and he runs back to his dad. Wasn't able to contain myself.
Gavin McLeod Exactly. As someone who has Dad issues himself, this resonated so true with me. I completely lost it.
+cowslaw me too! It's so emotional. I love Derek!
Agree with you all ❤️Xxx
I love how Ricky almost laughs at 1:00 at the "miserably" Karl threw in.
Still one of my favorite shows.
Karl genuinely gets annoyed lol.
Doom
By far my favourite series!
I wish the show went on longer
I absolutely love Kev think he's class especially the scene at 4:42
wow - 6minutes in karl really nails home a great point about saving people and the spider under the door scenario to make themselves feel better. greatly put. I see where he is coming from but they are great actors also.
Maaaaaars BAR BAR BAR
+sobchak1 Well it's not a mars bar, you said it was a twix. So that's rubbish. That's rubbish.
Blerg Blerguson couldn't find Twix, so I had ta sorta, change the chocolate
DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT SCIENCE! PLEASE give me TELEVISION
only true karl fans will know
Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why don't they play the game of swingball.
Hannah's face during the caretaker interview! Was waiting for karl to come in and shout BULLSHIT! 😂😂😂
The Beatles who simple rock and melodies, then they wrote Rubber Soul, Rikki Gervais wrote The office and Extras, then he wrote Derek.
The real Gerv/Smerch/Dilkington crew will get this. I was listening to this but not looking at the screen, at approx 5:45 when Karl says "...when I nearly died from that..." and I was expecting him to say "the Mr Freeze Pop..."

Everyone should have a Derek in their lives. Sweet character
the spunk monologue was impeccable, how that was cut god only knows
People was getting Kev all over...
One of Ricky's best creations.
*because it’s OVERLOOKED BY THE ESTATE*
the 5minute in part - god! I'm in tears!!!! the shooting his cream bit. the wording also! haha
Lol 8:01 was like Ricky taking the piss out of Karl for leaving the show
"..because its overlooked by the estate!"
Ricky Gervais is a genius
I love the dialogue at 7.00 with Kev and Vicki. "Why would anyone want sex with me? Can't be right in the head" :)
Gervais is just brilliant.
god I loved this show and still do I wonder why the cut the seen with Derek giing the hobo the pound I thought that seen was perfection
animals don't look at me funny ;(
😰❤️
Other superb bit of TV created by Ricky gervais
I can't help but look at Derek (the program, not the character) through a kind of Gervais/Zeitgeist lens. I wonder if Derek would have been given this life were it not for Ricky's only professional apology. Actually, that's probably what Derek is. An extension of his apology.
"Why read books when you can read a neck "
3:41 I hope gribbons and meringue utans made it into the episode.
Please give Kev is own show!
I wish Derek was a real person he is so sweat its heartwarming
Kev is truly inspirational.
Please say there will be a season 4!!!! I love this show!!
i had Dereks career until my accident in 2014 i havent worked since but anyway Ricky has done his homework as its pretty accurate ..oh I was a nurse in Brighton. had a TBI
you can tell Ricky wasn't in the room for those Karl scenes...no way he could make it through those monologues without laughing
Did karl sort of write his own scripts or something? hes speaks like he normally does just as a different person
the caretaker in the second series was pants
People slag off Ricky Gervais cos he tells it like it is and I don't know of any other comedy actor who is English and living next door to Robert de Niro, Ricky please come back and make another program like the office or Derek, Ricky Gervais is liked by alot of British people and we need U
Its a super sweet show in the end
Derek's voice becomes more like Ricky in the '£1' scene.
Bless your heart mate ❤️
Please bring back another series
