Derek: Season 1, Episode 4

After Work Reactions

LOL it was bogus. I agree I did like when he read her =]

Joe Jerome

Bit of a late comment but wow Josh, you looked genuinely pissed off when that lady came demanding back her ring! Can’t say I blame you 😂 but it was satisfying when Kyle gave her a piece of his mind!

After Work Reactions

Thanks bud, I am enjoying it so far and I will for sure be checking out the outtakes soon =]

Sam Dilks

Derek is one of those shows that I do generally like, although some of the writing is just plain obvious especially the greedy woman from this episode. But I'll always love, and look forward to your reaction, to the outtakes - they are hilarious, Ricky Gervais always has quality outtakes, you can tell everyone enjoys working with him

Landon Sweeney

I have many a night like this, it now seems to be a bed time thing, watch these videos then sleep. Its something to end tyhe day on a high with.

After Work Reactions

Hey bud I will watch the outtakes for sure!

After Work Reactions

Thank you I am excited for it!

After Work Reactions

LOL that was great.

Austin Stratton

Oh well I get two shows tomorrow now then 😂 Night all :)

Austin Stratton

Hoping Red Dwarf drops before I gotta leave for the night shift.. checking regularly as it's midnight now 😂

Hi josh I hope once you have watched this season you watch the season one out takes after. It kind of takes the sadness out of the show to see the cast laughing and Ricky not being able to do his lines for laughing so much. I hope you check it out it’s seriously funny

Louis Hessey-Antell

Looking forward to you watching After Life.

Landon Sweeney

He plays virtualy the same character in After Life too.

"They turned the machine off immediately when they seen what they produced" lmaoooo

Jack Veazey

I love the character that plays the pervert, he's so brilliant haha

Caine

I've seen someone's relative being spoken about like they aren't sat 2ft away, the amount of dehumanisation with the elderly is disturbing

After Work Reactions

Thanks bud I appreciate that. I am loving this show so far =]

After Work Reactions

I will for sure bud!

After Work Reactions

LOL thanks bud!

That is a challenge because I know they want to do something nice for a caregiver who they will look at to as a friend. But Tay had an instance before where a client's family gave her a gift card for Christmas a couple of years ago and the company she worked for made a big deal about it because the client told someone and her boss at the time complained at her about it. It is a fine line because of laws and not wanting to hurt clients feelings.

This was a great episode man and Karl was awesome in this one!

After Work Reactions

That is true. Death brings out the worst in people.

For me this episode really shows the best and the worst of Ricky Gervais' writing. The part with the ring was very true to life, but it felt over emphasised to make the point obvious. Almost like he wasn't confident enough to know that the audience would get it, without hitting it home with lines like "We've got better things to do than this". I always thought that Steven Merchant was needed to keep things subtle, while making the same point. Especially on After Life and the Brent movie, which are guilty of the same thing.

Mick Mills

This one of my favourite episides. I can see that Karl is no actor, he got emotional because he was convinced to. Not forced, co-orced I guess. Its just such a great show with emotion and comedy.

Caine

What are your thoughts on at risk people giving possessions to caregivers? There seems in my view to be a concerning reality that people may try grooming care users out of their valuables. Also do you think your mom would of accepted gifts while working with the special souls?

Mike Doel

You must watch the Series Outtakes on YouTube Hillarious

Ethan furness

Mr T 😭😭😂

Tony Smyth

Alan Partridge knows Bill Oddie's mobile number. He never answers. Probably too busy.

Andrew G

Hi Josh glad your getting the feel of the show comedic, drama and real issues. I like when you said you don't even know the older characters yet you feel emotion for them. Ricky's great at creating characters we can all relate to. Good review and reaction

HobbitJord

Its also Mandy from This Country in case you have seen that

Gary Tamblyn

Sorry to hear that, that sucks. A friend of mine in the States was a live in carer for his father for many years. After he passed away, distant family members, nobody had seen for decades, started popping out of the woodwork, contesting the will.

Gary Tamblyn

Think the money grabber was the same actress that ate all the food in the mini bar that David Brent was staying in on Life on the Road.

Kieran B

The novelty bust thing you asked ‘who’s that’ it was Prince Charles, and Hannah wasn’t an hour late for the restaurant but that she works so much that leaving work an hour late was effectively leaving on time for her

David Lyons

Bill Oddie is a former member of the 70s comedy trio The Goodies, but is probably better known these days for presenting wildlife programmes such as Springwatch and Autumnwatch, where he does a lot of birdwatching, hence Derek's suggestion to call him. His first suggestion was to call Rolf Harris, an Australian entertainer who at the time was best known for presenting the show Animal Hospital. (But just bear in mind Derek was filmed before Rolf's, ahem, Gary Glitter style fall from grace, shall we say?)

Like when my Grandparents died, the family split apart because they all wanted their share from selling the house. They still don't talk to each other after 16 years.

Landon Sweeney

Take a walk outside, enjoy some sunshine. Don't worry about it.

Claire Prowse

I remember karl saying he was really shaking after filming that scene with Shelley. He was so angry even though it was just acting. You see this so many times in life. As soon as someone passes away, scumbags like that circling like vultures😡 grrrr!!

When are you going to update the banner? It still has Brasseye, Blackadder and Phoenix Nights on it. If you don't get enough time to update it, I'd rather you skip a reaction one day and update the banner instead. I won't be the only one.

Congratulation. Always nice to see 'First' as the first comment and not "When are you going to react to Jim'll Fix It?" as per every other comment thread.
