Channel Four’s new show ‘Derek’

[betlarge]

I eagerly tuned in to this new series expecting to hear the dulcet tones of Derek Thompson informing us that he’d had a word with the trainer and, hey, tell ya what big fella.. (etc etc).

Imagine my outrage when I was confronted with a bittersweet comedy-drama starring Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington.

Quite frankly, this is yet another kick in the teeth for British horse racing. If so-called ‘Channel Four’ are expecting me to pay their so-called ‘licence fee’ any longer then they are barking up the wrong end of the stick.

Disgustedly yours,

This latest comedy ( I use the word very loosely ) offering from Gervais has plumbed new depths – even for him.

It’s not only embarrassing, it’s also in poor taste. Gervais is not a comedian – and he is certainly no actor.
