The Office - where are they now?

What has happened to the actors who helped to make The Office? We never did hear much from that man Gervais again...

David Brent: Life on the Road review

"Still the king of cringe".

Radio Times, 11th August 2016

Music review: David Brent and Foregone Conclusion

Ricky Gervais's band can be a lot of fun, as long as you never, ever take him seriously.

Nick Levine, The Independent, 11th August 2016

David Brent: Life On The Road, review

The film sees Gervais on sparkling form as his most famous comic character, picking up just where we left him; despised by most of his fellow workers and still pursuing his Walter Mitty dream of 'Brentertainment'.

Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 11th August 2016

Film: David Brent: Life on the Road

As performed, written and directed by Ricky Gervais, our hero is still office-based (he's a sales rep for a toiletries firm), and still a master of hopeless quips.

Kevin Maher, The Times, 11th August 2016

Film review: Life on the Road

In terms of comedy it is in decent working order.

'David Brent: Life on the Road': film review

David Brent remains an enduring comic grotesque, but this sporadically amusing big-screen resurrection is more cash-in reunion tour than killer comeback album.

Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter, 10th August 2016

Film review: 'David Brent: Life on the Road'

Ricky Gervais' most enduring creation hits the road for one last attempt at cracking showbiz, in a funny if meandering big-screen adventure.

Catherine Bray, Variety, 10th August 2016

David Brent: Life On The Road review

Ricky Gervais justifies bringing back The Office star, but it's not quite Partridge.

What Culture!, 10th August 2016

Review - David Brent: Life on the Road

The film delivers all the familiar cringe-worthy, embarrassing and inadvertent humour of The Office and then some. Definitely try to catch one of the promotional Foregone Conclusion concerts before Gervais lays his greatest brainchild to rest.

Frances Lai, The Upcoming, 10th August 2016
