anyone watch the new series that started last night? it was hilarious, i love steve merchant and barry from eastenders, in this they are so funny together, oh barry, what a legend :lol:

It was fab! Orly was actually good in this. I was laughing my arse off. Sheer brilliance.

I think it was even better than the last series, if that's possible. I laughed the entire time, and it was amazing to see Orlando Bloom doing some good acting - in the other things I've seen him in he always seems quite wooden, but it this he was great.

i loved that womans face when orly kissed maggie. sheer brilliance!!

i know what you mean, it was hilarious, the only prob is with such a brilliant starting edisode then it could be tricky keeping that high standard, but we shall but see.
cant wait for next week with the legend that is Mr David Bowie :worship

I caught a couple of the first ones and I know Daniel Radcliffe's making an appearance soon, when's it on guys? I guess it's BBC 2?

BBC 2, thursdays at nine. I've seen a clip of the one with Daniel Radcliffe and I nearly wet myself I was laughing so much. Pure genius.

Yeah, it's going to be good I think, but the reason he's in a scout's uniform in it is that they couldn't have any reference to the HP films, apparently, so he couldn't even be in school uniform. Weird :) but it looks like it's going to be a fun one, hehe.

Really? Thats so bizarre! It's not as though Harry Potter were the first films to include School uniforms. Showbiz is very odd indeed.

yeh i thought ob was surpirsingly good- i have a theory that he's a lot like Tom Cruise, in that tom's only had one great role ever- in magnolia, because he was playing a bad guy. to actually be good they need to play against type and they're both very Good-Guyish, so whenever they play bad or slimy characters they're great!!

I hate Tom Cruise - But I agree about him playing against type. He's superb in Interview with the vampire.

Definitely, one of Cruise's best (and I'm not a big fan). Interview with the Vampire is an ace film, love it :D

i didnt like him in magnolia..he was my least fav character!! i do love that film though bit confusing and i still dont see how there all connected...the soundtrack is great!!

i cant wait for the daniel radcliffe 1.

apparently he gets the hots for maggie...
:wub:

dandandandandan dan dan dan dandandandandandandan
AHEM
do u think he'll bring his wand along? :wub:

:( eh?

Daniel Radciffe is going to be in an episode. I think madelinenancy's a bit excited about it. ;)

Oh I see!

*thinks to herself* ... Actually I still don't get it, but I'm just gonna nod and smile and back away slowly from the forum...

I thought she was quoting Alan Partridge, the episode Steve was in. DAN! DAN! DAN! etc

Ok I'm even more confuzzled now!

It's on after the break if anyone wants to see it and needs a reminder :D

this episode was ace, i loved bowie song about andy, "pathetic little fat man" :lol: and again i think steve merchant and barry for eastender stole the show, what legends :D

I have to admit that, while I fund it amusing, just like the office, I found that episode in particular more cringeworthy than funny. I think that's what Ricky gervais must do best. I liked the ones in the first series, I saw the one with Ben Stiller, Kate Winslet and the guy who played Grant Mitchell. They were done in a very different style I think. What does everyone else think?

Yeah, I didn't think last night's episode was that funny, it just made me feel uncomfortable. I know that's what Gervais does, but the first series felt a lot lighter and more fun.

I liked it, it was very well written, but I didn't find it as funny as past episodes. I liked the way Andy and the celebrities interacted previously due to his being an extra (if that makes any sense) - now that's changed, as he's more on their level.

i dunno if the humour's exactly to mi taste.....

its better wen stuff's random

WOW. I actually think Danny boy was quite good. A kind of bad Harry Potter. :rude

:blink: excuse me. *runs away*

Ah shite, was it the HP one yesterday? I missed it :cry

Was it good? Will it be repeated??

It was good, but I'm not sure about repeats. Have you checked Youtube?

No, I was worried all there would be were clips, not the actual episode
don't BBC three and stuff do repeats? That's how I got to watch Dr. Who when I had to babysit saturdays. I'll have a look-see :)

Found the whole episode on BBC, here :)

I loved the Daniel Radcliffe bits :) fantastic, because he's such a lovely kid in real life, hehe.

"Do you still have that cat suit you wore in Avengers?"
"Go away, Daniel"

:D brilliant.
