According to a featurette on the Season 1 DVD set, "Finding Leo", Jude Law was supposed to appear in one of the episodes but pulled out at the last minute, leaving Gervais and Merchant scrambling to find a replacement. "Finding Leo" follows Gervais' unsuccessful attempts to contact Leonardo DiCaprio.

Dialogzitate:

Maggie Jacobs: [trying to persuade Andy to ask Ross Kemp for a line] Just talk to him. Tell him you loved him in Eastenders, Ultimate Force, Spandau Ballet...
Andy Millman: He wasn't in Spandau Ballet. You're thinking of Martin Kemp.
Maggie Jacobs: Aren't they brothers?
Andy Millman: In Spandau Ballet, it's Martin Kemp and Gary Kemp.
Maggie Jacobs: So who's this one?
Andy Millman: Ross Kemp.
Maggie Jacobs: Who's his brother?
Andy Millman: I... I don't know if he's got a brother.
Maggie Jacobs: Yes, he has. The bald one, looks just like him, works in the Queen Vic.

Why do people insist on comparing this with The Office??????

Almost every review I have read on here today contains the words "The Office." Why can people not offer their thoughts on the quality of this programme as a stand alone piece? Ricky Gervais plays a different guy in completely different surroundings. He is limited as an actor (by his own admission) which is why some people have commented that it feels like they are watching David Brent. Gervais does not have the range to bring a completely new character to the screen and in effect plays variations of himself. It has a brand new cast supplemented by guest stars parodying themselves. Hats off to Ross Kemp last night, although Vinnie Jones stunk up the place a bit during his scene. This is a great concept which has been well written (so far) and I'm sure will grow into a firm favourite with regular viewers. Please give this a chance, it could be another classic.
