Well if the critics slate it, I shall be spared having to make up my own mind and will remain none the wiser about RG.

I have to say he does fall in that extreme hate him, love him category! I find them all gifted and very funny but I too wish all of them (Ross, Brand, Gervais etc) can tone down their explicitness. Innuendos are great but these guys get a bit too crass sometimes, though I dont think Gervais is anywhere as rude as Ross and Brand! Gervais treads more dangerously into all things prejudice than the rudeness arena.

See for me Ross is fine compared to the others (sure I'm not convinced he is worth the money he's pa*d) but he's post-watershed and you know what you're getting (arguably the same with Brand, which is why I avoid him as well)... but Gervais... he needs to stop believing his own hype...!

You seem to have so many connections in high places! Very much like Gervais ;) I mean how does he get the likes of Sam Jackson and Robert De Niro to cameo in his little British comedy Extras?? Hope you have a great time come December and take Anakin with you, he's a big fan lol.
