Dereck - WTAF???

[frustratedworkingmum]

I thought it might be irreverant and funny, but oh my effing jeff - WTF is all this about??? Now of course morbid fascination has set in - does this get better? worse?

Me too, DP and I are sat here in stupefied wonder. Not for much longer...

definately don't know what to make of this, i dont know whether to laugh or cry actually

I don't get it either. Am I missing the point?

Thought two female carers nice but as if they were in another show

I like it, I think he is brilliant at writing female characters

it's excellent. humorous, poignant and sensitive. great female characters too.

Is that the Ricky gervais rubbish? Managed one minute then changed to the news. Utter shite!

Yep one minute here too. Didn't want to hang around to see if he was actually taking the mick out of folk with ld? I dunno if he was I didn't watch any more. I hated the office though so maybe not for me anyway

I loved it tonight -thought it was really touching

I thought it was a gentle and sweet portrayal of people with LD.
I loved it.

There was a line I saw yesterday when a man was asking to get Derek tested in a hospital to see if he had LD,

Derek - "If I am 'tistic, will it change me in anyway... will I be the same person" "Yes"
"Don't worry about it then"

I am not sure what to make of it yet, but that line was class.

I think if it hadn't been RG i might have quite liked it, but i have always found him to be a piss taking cunt so can't quite put him together with a sensitive depiction of LD and people needing care. I found it hard to watch as my dad had dementia but i like how the young girl on community service came good. That was possibly a bit niave though.

Yep, utter rubbish.

Ex-H loves it and he used to work with adults with LDs for years. He reckons it's not dissimilar to his own experiences in that area. I just don't like Ricky Gervais so can't even bring myself to try watching it.
