    A bit of a disappointment, Derek seems a lot more articulate this series, I think Gervais has forgot how to play him.

    I can't. Dougie was brilliant.

    Although Kev had me in stitches.

    I gather we havent seen the last of Dougie. Maybe he'll come and back and tell Jeff to F*** off, as Brent did to Finchy that wonderful night.

    No one is playing themselves or anything like that. It's just a scripted mock-doc sitcom like The Office.

    That was just my take on it mate, seems to me it could have been open to interpretation. What did Ricky Gervais say about it

    This is what Ricky says .......

    I just don't get this program. How can anyone 'well up' because of a list that says obviously nice things, or an old woman singing an antwacky ald song? The sentimentality is so forced, it makes the show odd.

    I do find it a bit odd at how people welled up to this episode. I'm not a very emotional person, but come on...

    An abomination, it's like Channel 4 contracted Ebola for half an hour.

    An incomprehensibly bad and poorly written disaster, it's not only bad but it lessens not just the actors, not just the audience, but human civilisation.

    Oh and it turns out Derek is Oirish, so it turns out the first season wasn't mawkish enough.

    And why is there an alcoholic sex offender living in an old folks home, why is the managers succesful partner sitting around looking like a stroke victim, why did Derek's dad suddenly give up being able to live on his own, why is the new volunteer apparently a section 8 psychopath from Afghanistan, why am I even asking this.
    Hahahahahahaha :D (not my own words, by the way)

    What an awful, mawkish, laugh-free comedy this is.:confused: One episode of watching that gurning fool is more than enough for me. No more. Cant believe how low gervais has sunk since his Office days.

    kev isn't living at the home. He's a layabout mate of Derek. He's just using the home as a place to drink....

    Found this episode almost sickly sweet and didn';t see the point about all the fuss over Karl leaving?

    Never liked it, still there are elements of it that are mocking people with learning difficulties, at very least showing ignorance but JMHO

    Who else is on Twitter right now?

    That tweet was just sent when Vicky did it on TV. Very good.

    Not very good at all when you consider it was meant to be his first tweet.

    This was awful. Gervais really needs to get back with Stephen Merchant because he cannot write. He's also forgotten how to play Derek. Just plain lazy all round.

    Just pointing out how ridiculous it is for you to invent things to compliment the show on.

    Glad to be back : )
