Of course Olly, which is why "it can't be denied" got my intial (tongue in cheek) response.
I don't mind Gervais myself - though appreciate how he may come across as a bit smug or smarmy - and loved The Office. Only saw a very tiny bit of Life's Too Short though.
I've totally missed all of this programme so far , heard a trailer on the radio which sounded quite funny , is it just about making fun of short people?
Gervais should make programmes about the same overweight, ugly, beardy twat who laughs like a hyena at his own unfunny jokes............oh yeah he does that now. Marmite is right and I effing hate marmite! Life is all about opinions....

Anyone who thinks this show is totally about taking the piss out of dwarves has missed the point completely.
Yes the stuff with Johnny Depp and his Rumplestiltskin part was funny.
But equally Warwick's painful hi-jack of the best mans speech was classic.
Tonight's episode was pretty poor, I still find the series funny but it feels like i've heard the exact same jokes told in the exact same fashion time and time again. Gotta say, Cat Deeley was smoking.
Will be amazed if we see series 2.. I love Ricky to death but this has felt tired and ropey maybe 1 laugh per episode
Its miles ahead than some of the other stuff that got a 2nd series. Miranda is the biggest load of crap i've seen in recent times and that got another season.

why are you bothering then ?
Probably so he can come on here and moan about it.
If we had great programmes on television every day then I could understand people not being a massive fan of LTS, but seeing as there's so much crap on tv day in day out how is this programme (at the least) anything other than a breath of fresh air in a sea of reality tv, decorating programmes and repeats.
The Office was very good, brilliant in parts, but I think it's a bit over the top to say it introduced a "whole new spectrum and style of comedy".
Have you never seen Operation Good Guys for example. I'm sure Gervais and Merchant watched it, very closely.
Also "People Like Us"
Thank You!!!! When I first saw The Office, my initial thought was "Oh, like Operation Good Guys", but no one seemed to have heard of it!
As for Life's Too Short, I do enjoy it, but I find the 'celebrity cameo' bits so needless and self-congratulatory. The funniest parts to me, are without celebrities playing themselves. I loved that Liam Neeson bit in the first episode, btw, but in all honesty, any serious-sounding man could have played that part and read those lines.
The funniest bit in last night's episode was the steps up the back of the door to the spy-hole, that was about it. The programmes have got worse each week unfortunately, almost certain it'll get a second series though.

Les Dennis, Barry, and Keith Chegwin.

Fading star's actual celebrity fails to match his self-image. Throw in a few A-Listers being bizarre/obnoxious. Repeat until fade.
Chirpy- loved Operation Good Guys.
