Interestingly Gervais actually tried to become a pop star in the 90s

After Work Reactions

After Work Reactions

Thanks man, the show is realistic to people I know and it just seems like it would be fitting for a more realistic ending.

Steve King

Hope Josh (and Tay) are OK?!?!?!?!

Publico

No income tax, no VAT, no money back, no guarantee, black or white, rich or poor.... Josh' not streaming season 4...... Carpets, hooky street, viva hooky street, long live hooky street, say 'magnifique', hooky street.....

It’s only one episode?

Spooony

I honestly wouldn't to be honest. Life of the Road is an ok standalone, but as a continuation of The Office it just falls very flat. It's also without the involvement of Steve, and I think it shows.

M Rob

Love the conversation’s with Gareth on this one. You can see he’s a lot more smug, confident and doesn’t idolise David anymore since taking his job. When they are doing the dating website is hilarious.....’squashhh’ gets me every time

Austin Stratton

Trying to remember which episode of Only Fools To Hull And Back is tonight.. If anyone knows, without giving spoilers, if I say Holland am I on the right lines?

I have only every heard the simply red version I didn't know they hadn't originally wrote that

Ian Webster

IF YOU DON'T KNOW MEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Oh yeah, just a little connection here, too. On the Bottom Xmas special, when Ritchie doesn't let Eddie put the TV on until the Queen's speech, and Eddie says "but it's Noel's Christmas family accidents!" he's talking about Noel Edmonds. I also can't stand Noel Edmonds. What an absolute turnip that guy is. I'm sure Partridge references him a few times, too. Basically, Noel Edmonds was absolutely ubiquitous in the late 80's and early 90's. His career took this huge dip in the 2000's before sky-rocketing again when his stupid game show, Deal or No Deal, appeared on TV in about 2008. OOHH Josh, watch the "Cake" bit on Brass Eye! That's got Noel Edmonds on it, getting stitched up like a fucking kipper, amongst other bland TV personalities. It's a mock public safety warning about a fictional drug, from the Drugs episode.

I like how you said you are not expecting a happy ending because they are more like normal people then comedic characters..i know you are talking about Tim and Dawn specifically but it got me thinking that .. .that’s what I love about all these shows, the main character is never the “hero” or "villain" It’s much more real and reflects real life where people are complicated and flawed. I think I like whatever the show is much more when the main character is morally unlikeable ... like Brent, Basil Fawlty or Blackadder, Alan partridge, Mark and Jez. They become, to me, more interesting and funny. Same could be said about Kenny Powers for the American East bound and down series. Also with this ep,... There is something unique and funny about Gareth and Brent just in a room together - like when they are doing the internet dating. They are so weird and hilarious together.

A bit out of season now but the show that David referenced at one point in the episode (Noels Christmas Presents) would have been a fantastic show to react to during the Christmas season. Each episode was aired Christmas mornings every year for about a decade which featured TV host Noel Edmonds doing charitable acts for sick or misfortuned people (delivering gifts to kids in hospitals/surprise christmas parties for the elderly, that sort of thing) some of the surprises he pulled off were broadcast live too- was so nice to see the people featured particularly the children getting their Christmas surprise actually on Christmas morning. Like I said it was a staple of Christmas tv viewing in the UK every year for almost a decade if I remember right, made for some really heartwarming viewing-would have loved to see your take on any episode in particular, you’d have to be made of stone not to shed a tear or two at some parts.

Kieran B

It is Maggie (Ashley Jensen)

W Martin

I've noticed that the documentary lady sounds spits of Maggie from extras. She's documenting on David being a performer. Possible connection to extras. This already may be a known thing btw

Mick Mills

Ahh really great to have an excuse to watch this again. Thanks bud.

SynphamyMusic

I'd totally recommend the David Brent movie if you want a bit more of him at the end. It got a mixed reception but i thought it was a fitting ending to his character.

Austin Stratton

IF Josh has managed to get a way to do it.. fingers crossed

Tom French

This was a nice surprise, completely forgot this was getting uploaded today. Can’t wait until next Thursday now for the finale 👍

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

Jesus that was painful lol. Your face when he starts saying the shagadelic baby part 😂

W Martin

I remember watching The Office when it first came out and could barely watch it as it was so cringe, but loved it at the same time. In my eyes it paved the way for a lot of the TV shows we see today

Connor

You probably have heard the song he covered before. Its If You Don't Know Me By Now - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes

Connor

"You can't drink and drive so what's the point?"

Super Mega Giga Chad

This part just sets everything up for part 2 to knock em down in the greatest finale to a series ever - don’t wanna hype it too much but it’s true

Toby Lewis

🤮🤮 completely ruins the Brent character and has the worst storyline ever

Danny

As a bit of trivia, Ricky Gervais can't drive a car so the scenes with Brent driving was actually Ricky in a car on the back of a trailer driving along instead haha. He said he doesn't see the point in driving when he can pay people to drive for him

mwdoom

Correct... at last... :) he's also the accountant on life's too short (which I hope you watch Josh at some point its amazing)

Duncan

Gregg

Are you watching the movie on the Thursday after part 2?

Just a suggestion for after you have finished the series Josh there is a compilation of deleted scenes which you might want to do for youtube there are some really funny ones on it.

Claire Prowse

Ooh this first part of the special is always painful to watch😒 ....can't wait for next week!! 🤐

Connor

Would never have noticed that. She sounds really different to me.

Kieran B

Not seen this in years, just realised Ashley Jensen who plays Maggie in Extras is one of the interviewers behind the camera

Kieran B

Looked like you were close to recognising David’s agent - he was Piet Morant from Dante’s Fires in Alan Partridge - who had the meeting at Alan’s door table £42,000 would be about $60,000 - closer to something like $77,000 when this went out. Ah those were the days...
