Innocent Accused	'Fury as Ricky Gervais ridicules Down's syndrome children with 'two mongs don't make a right' Twitter posts' www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2050854...ren-sparks-fury.html
Bo Selecta	I was taking a masters degree at Birkbeck College London a few years back. As I was walking downstairs, Gervais was walking up (presumably to the bar - university of London alumni privilages) with a very young blonde floozie on his arm, who was evidently eating out of his hands. As we passed, Gervais had a look at me and then made a snide comment to his bird, at which she naturally became hysterical with laughter. I guess it's a rare privilage to be the butt of a famous comedian's joke, but sometimes I do wish I had just laid him out there right then. I think the Bo Selecta take on him was probably very accurate : youtu.be/QHbUuS9ThPY
Prunella Minge	I think he's become wildly overrated. He was cynically smart to use the specious argument 'Fawlty Towers only had two series: ergo finishing after two series is proof of real class' to lend lustre to his own shows, but I thought the second series of Extras was a shambles - no logic (essential in a great sitcom), characters allowed to act incoherently and a few guest stars used to cover over the cracks. Before The Office, he's alleged to have asked Stephen Fry why he was so unpopular with his peers. 'It's probably because you're a c*nt,' Fry is said to have replied. I hope he did. Stephen Merchant, on the other hand, seems a far smarter, and likeable, writer and performer.
veritas	I'm a huge fan of some of his work. The Office was superb but Extras was pure genius-especially the extended film version. As an actor in other works he doesn't work for me.
steveimp	I love The Office, but I'm not really a fan of Gervais, I find him an irritant, but can cope with his character in the programme. I know it sounds odd, but its also the same with the Vicar of Dibley, love the programme, but can't stand Dawn French!
