i think it is real good of richy jarvais to give old bowie a comeback break on these show. sure old bowey is no phil collins but he still has some loyal fans and is probly stil reconised by many older poeple ;-)
@elzashan how come you dont see old bowies hands playing this?? collins is an accomplished all round musician who has evolved and doesnt rely on past glories. Also i dont remeber the cadbury gorilla singing a bowie song ;-)

I 'GET' most things and am well into my comedy. I sat stony faced through many joke-free episodes of 'Extras'. There,s something wrong there. Many of my friends felt the same. Maybe expectations were high after the 'The Office'..there was the occasional good episode of 'extras' but you just got the impression that everyone (critics etc) was kissing Gervais' fat arse..
seen him over 30 times, met him at least 4 times as his fave city is Toronto,Canada, as well as lovely Iman ,so pls no more emails from worshippers, just fans...jesus christ allmighty, give the guy a break.
J
T.O. the only place to live...ask any rock star...K...now let me clean the pool and have our Bar-B-Que...and hello to bowiesrebel90...who has a real brain, and is a true fan.
No rebuttals on my comments will be sent ,or heard from any of you....staff clear them as they roll in.
in 1824, a mental man was shipped all around to different asylums. a year later, he was in the showers and skinned a man (elbert simon)and slipred his flesh dry. they had to put him to sleep. they asked if he had one last request and he said yes. he went to the bathroom and carved 666 on his forehead.
Well, I have seen more "private" pictures of Bowie (that is pictures not taken in a public context), and there his face looks pretty much like you would expect for his age. Also he had a heart attack in 2004, and his appearance after that changed a bit, probably due to the medication which is known to have a "puffy" effect on the face.
God damn that's funny. I watched the whole episode recently and what's great is that the stuff that comes after this is screamingly hilarious and poignant as well! (Gervais goes back to the original bar where he felt like everyone there was a loser--but after being humiliated by Bowie now realizing that he's really no better than they are--and has a great time.)

The brilliant thing is, you have no idea how bowie's going to react, but you suspect it's going to be bad... then it's the most humiliating thing you can imagine!!!
this is genius, if you haven't seen the whole episode check it out, when David Bowie get's the inspiration and then has everyone singing together all you can say is brilliant. Ricky Gervais is a guy who is thinking about comedy on a different level
i've only seen one episode and i wasn't terribly impressed ... maybe i should give it another shot, every series has its worst episode. have you seen arrested development? that's the only one we've got right in my opinion (and it didn't last long because of low ratings)
Yeah, us brits are generally better at comedy than you guys, I mean, Will & Grace...come on. U.S drama is better though, all the way back to Xfiles and now 24, Dexter rocks too. Mind you, when I was a kid I ,loved Married With Children. And you can't top U.S Cartoon comedy, simpsons, south park, family guy etc.
our comedy really is pathetic. our second-highest-rated sitcom ever "friends" is appallingly bad. but do know what's really annoying? BBCAmerica does not give us quiz shows of any kind, nor does it give us Peep Show or anything other than footballer's wives. and you would not believe what they've done to Top Gear (edit out all the races, challenges and interviews i.e. only car reviews are left). i'm thinking of writing them a complaint.
I'm British and I'd like to agree that British comedy is usually better, that British dramas are usually shiter, and America has no competition here for adult cartoons. The only really funny one I can think of frm britain is stressed eric and that had like five episodes five years ago.
yeah both those shows are outstanding... especially the top gear races and challenges; near-perfect television for me. (the first one i saw was the race to monaco and i was hooked from that point on)
our highest rated sitcom is seinfeld which is mediocre (i don't know if you get it there). its obviously better than friends but that's not saying much.
I agree that the quality of Fawlty Towers is unsurpassed, it is still as funny now as it was 30 years ago. However, as I said that was only 12 episodes wheras Seinfeld was consistently funny over a period of 8 years. Pretty impressive I think.
When Bowie asked if the show was any good, someone in the background kinda yelled "naw sh*t", and both of them got a little distracted. It's this little bit that adds a lot to the comedy. Brilliant.
