Always the same: very much so, to some extent, not at all, don't know.

Gervais is the comedy genius but the part of Keith was played superbly by Ewen. RIP big lad.

You’ve spelled “Merchant” wrong.

Oh yes sorry. How could I have forgotten about his co writer?

I'd have said "ask him how he’s spelling Merchant" but "you've spelled Merchant wrong" is alright, I suppose.

I don’t get it.

(I presume it’s a reference to The Office, which just makes me more annoyed that I don’t get it)

He's insinuating that Stephen Merchant is the genius, not his more famous co-writer; Ricky Gervais.

Nope - that’s what I was insinuating.

Edit - thanks for trying, though.

Got the poster mixed up. Oh well, at least it should make sense to them now though.

There's a joke in the (bad) David Brent film, "ask me how I'm spelling coming"

Oh ok. Thanks. I have seen the film but not multiple times, like The Office, so I feel better about missing the reference now.

It really was a pretty awful film, which just backs up my point that Stephen Merchant was the real genius behind the Office.

Don't think either of them has written anything very good since The Office and Extras, personally.

After Life is brilliant IMO.

Hello Ladies is quite good, and The Outlaws was funny when it tried to be funny, although the “dramatic” bits left me cold.

Derek and After Life (sorry Fretters) were just mawkish sentimental claptrap though.

All imho, of course.
