For those that are unaware of the show, it's the latest done by Gervais/Merchant. It's a comedy mockumentary about the life of Warwick Davis (The little fella from Willow/Harry Potter/Leprechaun) and follows him as he struggles to book work and run a "dwarves for hire" acting firm, while going through a divorce.
As per usual there's a few celebrity pop ins, Liam Neeson was actually pretty hilarious, they had Johnny Depp, Helena BC, and Steve Carell too.
Didn't think I'd like it, as I have not got into anything Gervais/Merchant have done personally, and even though it smacks of their style I actually found this pretty enjoyable, and this last episode (5) was the funniest comedy show I'd seen in AGES.
I'd recommend it.

Been watching this myself, up to episode six now over here. Its had a fair bit of criticism for recycling so many scenes from 'The office' and 'extras'. Personally I think it is better than 'Extras' and Warwick Davis is doing a pretty amazing David Brent 'impression', his physical acting is awesome.
