The Ricky Gervais Show Review: Drawing A Blank
I'm a fan of a lot of Ricky Gervais's work, including his audio podcasts with Karl Pilkington, and I inevitably enjoyed this as well. The whole point of a cartoon in this context, however, infinitely evades me.
Tom Ford, On The Box, 22nd April 2010Top 10 British comedy films
At last Ricky Gervais has done it. He's finally made a film that's good. And this got me thinking about my favourite all time British comedy films. And here they are, in chronological order to avoid favouritism.
Dave Heckler, UKTV, 22nd April 2010Ricky Gervais on The Ricky Gervais Show
'You don't want to hear two people trying to be Stephen Fry'
Tim Lusher, The Guardian, 21st April 2010BBC announces new Gervais and Merchant sitcom

British Comedy Guide, 21st April 2010Gervais's comedy army
Bill Hicks, Stewart Lee and a nursery rhyme with a 'blue' ending. Ricky Gervais reveals the moments that put comedy hairs on his chest.
Andrew Dickens, ShortList, 15th April 2010Ricky Gervais went on diet after gorging on sausages
Ricky Gervais has disclosed how he went on a diet after disgusting himself by gorging on 11 sausages in one sitting.
Heidi Blake, The Telegraph, 14th April 2010Ricky Gervais 'says no to bank's £1m offer to perform'

Natalie Jamieson, BBC News, 14th April 2010Office creators Gervais and Merchant get serious
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant explain why they have left the world of TV sitcoms behind to make a coming-of-age drama set in 1970s Reading.
Neil Smith, BBC, 13th April 2010Jonathan Ross is on his way out, but all hail Graham Norton, whose chat show is breezy, silly and a perfect nightcap at the end of the first day of the working week. I particularly like the way all of his guests end up on the sofa together, rather than each scurrying off to the green room after their moments in the spotlight to giggle self-consciously while everyone else has their turn. Some of the best bits of the last series involved high jinks between the stars, like the hopelessly solipsistic Katie Price coming under the withering gaze of a mischievous Jo Brand. Or model/actress Lily Cole looking lost as she droned on about her new film, while Sue Perkins and Isabella Rossellini were there just to enjoy themselves. Tonight's guests Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant should be good value as they discuss their new film Cemetery Junction. They'll be joined by actress Christina Ricci, and there's music from Pixie Lott.
Alison Graham, Radio Times, 12th April 2010Stephen Merchant interview
Ricky Gervais's low-key creative partner Stephen Merchant explains why there's no shame in schmaltz.
