Last nights TV.

Not perhaps Gervais' finest hour as an actor but a worthy treatment of an uncomfortable subject.

At least it is drama.

Put me in mind of 'Play for Today' which was a regular fixture of the TV schedules when I was a kid.

A change from the Hollywood megabucks.

I saw the advert for that and was worried that it looked a bit crap and would ultimately skew my perception of Karl Pilkington.

I'm going to give it a watch tonight.

Not much of a first acting stretch for Karl.

Basically he is playing himself.

The bit with him driving the MiniBus was the funniest but it is more Drama than Comedy.

I thought it failed miserably.

I applaud his attempt to tackle uncomfortable subjects with his comedy, but I don't think this one worked. He is capable of better.
