I

that big, sweaty slob. I’ve done everything for him, haven’t I? I was even in his show. I just see his freckly ass and everything, and he’s never thanked me. And now, he’s trying to take my award. This is dreadful.

Gervais talks about his Netflix series Derek:

I have folded a few stories in, but they’re not so much strict stories as things in general. I’ve got 20 or 30 years of stories, some funny and some really sad. I just thought, it’s such rich, fertile ground because these people have lived ordinary yet extraordinary lives, every one. I find it fascinating that you’ve lived on this planet for 80 years and what you’ve seen, the changes you’ve seen. And it’s just the best backdrop for Derek because it’s sort of a show about kindness.
