Anyone see the Christmas Special last nite? It was as good as i expected!! Gervais and Merchant are geniuses!!
 
Thought it was a nice ending and was impressed by the rant at the end.
 
very good alright.

i like the scenes when merchant, dean gaffeny and Barry from eastenders all working in Carphone warehouse dancing about

george michael was good too
 
As usual the whole thing had class coming out of every pore. From the guest star point of view, Gervais' interplay with Ramsey amused me a lot and i thought the ending was probably the most appropriate I have ever seen for a TV show, no whimping out or anything such, just that rant and then he fecks off, brilliant.
 
Yeah loved the bit where he was doing the 'OK' hand signal to Maggie for her to say he was a good boss and when asked the question she replied 'Wanker'! Class
 
Fantastic, as always. Loved the ending, I thought it was very fitting. One of the best scenes was when Clive Owen was going on about how he would never pay to sleep with Maggie and ended up with him wanting to throw shit at her. Also the scene with the Journalist, typical Gervais brilliance, taking a relatively normal situation and making escalate into cringeworthy embarrassment for his character.
 
Why has this taken so long to get to UK TV...I downloaded it 2 weeks ago when it aired on HBO.

Great final episode.

Because it was billed as a Christmas special, very much like the final episode of The Office, so had to be shown at Christmas time.
 
I must admit though, i did find it a bit sad that Darren and Barry (for all we know) ended up working in The Carphone Warehouse for the rest of their lives!! But i suppose thats about their level anyway so its probably fair enough. Possibly the best rant ive ever heard in the Celeb Big Bro house!! Him welling up while in the middle of it was brilliant. Then when he made the apology (obviously to Maggie) and it flicked to Darren thinking it was for him was so funny!!
 
Pissed off i missed this.
There must be a repeat on somewhere in the 999 channels.
 
It will be interesting to see what Gervais and Merchant do next.......
