- ርልዪረ23 maart 2025David Brent is the well meaning but clueless and incompetent manager of a small paper company in Slough and has allowed a BBC film crew into his office to film a documentary. While not quite up there with the all time great British comedies, it is still one of the best British comedies of the 21st century so far. Excellent performances from Ricky Gervais as the likeable but hopeless Brent who thinks he is the world's best boss and undiscovered comic talent. We've all worked for somebody like Brent at one time or another which is what makes this series so relatable and likeable. There is also excellent performances from Mackenzie Crook as Gareth, Brent's loyal and eager assistant and jobsworth who nobody takes seriously, Martin Freeman as Tim, one of the salesman who loves to wind up Gareth for fun and is in love with receptionist Dawn, another excellent performance from Lucy Davis in a rather sweet relationship plus various supporting characters. My personal favourite being the unnamed male cleaner who never says a word but stops what he's doing and just stares cluelessly at the cameras. It is funny and painful to watch at the same time mainly thanks to Brent who thinks he has to be politically correct all the time yet still manages somehow to offend everyone yet you can't tear yourself away from it. Every first series episode is introduced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant who wrote and directed every episode with interviews from the cast and celebrity fans of the show which can be interesting to watch but annoying if you want to skip and just watch the episodes giving you insight into how the series was made plus lots of other extras including a pre pilot like a tryout of the series that was never broadcast on TV.
