Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly, 7th May 2010Review: The Ricky Gervais Show - Is he having a laugh?
The worst thing about the series is that it didn't really need to happen in the first place. The podcasts were brilliant as they were so, if you did find yourself chuckling, treat yourself to the podcasts and let your imagination do the rest.. I gaurntee it'll look better than the slapdash animation here.
