Just a matter of taste! I can see why people wouldn’t find him funny – I didn’t think his stand up material was any good at all but in terms of sitcom character realisation he is up there with John Cleese and Steve Coogan IMO

The Tim-Dawn relationship in The Office, and increasingly the ever evolving Andy-Maggie friendship add an emotional dimension to Gervais' shows. Only Fools and Horses was probably the last sitcom I can remember that had the abilty both to move you, and to make you laugh.

I sat here for a good five minutes then trying to disprove your comment, but failed. Still can't talk for a good ten minutes after each time I watch the Office Xmas special....I must be going soft.

Must be old age Radders..... I can remember shedding a tear or two myself, the first time I watched it. I'm blaming excessive Xmas lager and wine consumption though

I'm blaming excessive Xmas lager and wine consumption though I did too It was so well done the way they made it seem impossible, and then she walked back in the room during 'Only You' Loved it when he finally stood up for himself in front of Finchy too and told him to 'fuck off'.

Good actor
