      he did loads of media stuff before this, he had a primetime tv show calledd the ricky gervais tv show that was mostly scriped other than the interviews(you can still find his interview with jimmy saville on youtube), he had sketches on not the 11 oclock show that he acted and wrote. the guy wasnt a star but he was a well known comedian before the office.

    I think they made a mistake making David a bad person. The legitimacy of his character is that he gets on with people in office and they like him. Rather than he’s this cliched boss they hate. 2nd series spends too much time making him loathsome etc when really the joy in office 1 is the moments that show people love him and respect him deep down

      Except that was never the case. They might have tolerated him more in S1, but after this betrayal they definitely resented him.

      @TheJohnCooperShow 9 місяців тому

      i do actually, but it takes a nuanced mind to spot it. its the same as with every great bully character, there is an innocent loveable person inside which the show hints at. Take Jonny from Karate kid - he made a great bully because there was a human side to him. And in fact the most aggressive bully was Dutch. Likewise with David Brent, Ricky has written it in a way, whereby he's awkward but to the trained eye, you deep down love him because you can see the pain in him and why hes developed the outer shell. And for his flaws you can tell people like Tim like him and accept him. However instead of allowing him to win more, they focussed on making brent more loathsome and a parody of the worst things from series 1 instead of showing the hints of loveableness that that intersperce in series 1 subtley, which makes him a believable boss. @@jaexiusnem1267
