We catch up with David Brent, as he still visits his old place of work regularly, despite successfully suing them for unfair dismissal.

Further details

Since we last saw David Brent he has become a sales rep for a cleaning products company, released his own pop single and has acquired a showbiz agent to look after his "celebrity appearances" (which result in a fair amount of abuse from the crowds).
