The Office USA Vs The Office UK: Top Moments
Like everything from cultural imperialism to one specific type of muffin, The Office was a British idea copied by the Americans. Both the British and American versions of The Office have been stormed the ratings, both the British and American versions of The Office have mined comedy from awkward and mundane situations and both the British and American versions of The Office have spawned movie stars, as seen in everything from Get Smart to Love, Actually to Pirates Of The Caribbean to that rubbishy George Clooney film about American football. But which is better - the British Office or the American Office? It's a debate that everyone has an opinion on but nobody has comprehensively won. And that's why we're here now. Using a complex scientific algorythm based on five categories, we've decided to find out which version of The Office is best. You may disagree with us if you like.

The Invention of Lying – Movie Review
It’s hard not to feel jealous of Ricky Gervais, since he seems to have Hollywood in the palm of his hand. Not content with appearing in any old cinematic guff swimming out our shores, one cheeky snaggletooth smile and he is whisked away to star in… well, any old guff swimming out of the US. Alas, the man from sunny Reading has managed to attract a whole host of star-wattage toward his latest project - The Invention of Lying. Taking on co-writing and co-directing duties, not to mention starring in the film, you may think that this film is just a rehash of 90’s Jim Carrey vehicle Liar Liar.

Ricky Gervais Lands Role In Grand Theft Auto IV
Slightly obese humourist Ricky Gervais has landed a role in the new GTA game, due for release on April 29. The man responsible for some of the decade's greatest television has teamed up with the creators of the decade's greatest computer game, in what has been described by one man as ‘a slightly interesting event - I'll probably have a look’. Ricky will appear as himself, performing three minutes of new material, as well as some jokes from his recent Fame tour, in the Liberty City Comedy Club. Make no mistake about it, that’s a tough crowd - one poorly-timed dance routine and Ricky could soon find himself on the receiving end of the old ‘rocket up the arse’ heckle.
