I have been totally enjoying it too yeah. Sure, a lot of the gags are the same ones from earlier Merchant and Gervais stuff, but damn there have been some utterly hilarious moments. I love Merchants role as the hapless agent, and the dizzy blonde is great character too. But my god it can be dark stuff too. The Les Dennis episode was just too much. This is what Gervais does best though. He is so watchable even in the dark moments. His facial expressions are what make so much of it. Has it finished its run by the way? I only saw 5 episodes.
it doesn't matter if the series ends up crap as a whole. In fact, it doesn't matter if it turns out to be secret paedo code or a recruiting video for Al Q'aeda.
All that matters is that episode 2 contained the line "you're like a dead horse, get some minge around it",and that's all you'll ever need from a TV show.
bahahah so true Dan. Christ that scene was so utterly awesome. I was rolling about on the floor. But not *just* because of that line, but the context of it. The preceeding Kenny G 'falling in love' moments right before it were of course what really made it.
My fave line: "its got a pube in it".. [its not a pube,.. its a dog hair] <swipes massive finger through his mash to get hair> "its okay guys, its not a pube its a dog hair, and if you've got one he just puts his whole hand through it"

I watched them all in one sitting, with mini breaks to code a project I should be doing.
