Another fantastic series of Derek. I've really enjoyed every episode: it has made me laugh and cry. I really hope another series is on the way!
Derek - Series 2 Page 7
Missed the first few mins but laughed all through the date scene. He's perfected that look to camera, creases me up every time. Far more comedy than I'd previously seen in Derek although I've only seen bits rather than full episodes. The date scene took it out of the home and suddenly I found it watchable and very funny. So imo, Derek definitely needs to get out more.
Also I've always found the soapy bits in The Office, Extras and Life's Too Short nowhere near as well conceived as the pure comedy bits. Gervais should forget the drama and pathos and go full out for comedy, especially the visual stuff, at which he is one of the all time best.
