# for someone such as myself working in the social care sector
it's great that Gervais is making careworkers look like fucking idiots who have nothing going for them other than kindness.

That was an utterly pointless pile of fucking wank, with the odd bit of lazy slapstick thrown in to substitute for the lack of any kind of functional comedy in the script or concept. It reminded me of a clip for encouraging donations on comic relief, presented by Gervais doing a shit impression of a retard.

# As someone said on twatter...
"Compare Derek, which is about Ricky Gervais, with Jo Brand's brilliant 'Getting On,' which is about truth.

# yes, I agree with this
I suspect Gervais has anecdotal 2nd-hand experience of care and clearly has at the very best, a superficial understanding of it. It's hard to see what he was trying to achieve. It didn't seem to be anything humourous and was hard to see if he was trying to convey anything positive whatsoever.
