Ricky Gervais Celebrates David Brent on YouTube

Ricky Gervais is set to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the hit sitcom, The Office, with a special YouTube series. The comedian will present 25 of his favorite David Brent moments, offering viewers exclusive content.

This series promises "never-before-told stories, the lowdown on the inspiration behind iconic lines, and the backstories on the scenes that nearly had to be abandoned because of laughter on set." The content will be rolled out on Gervais' personal YouTube channel.

Alongside these exclusive David Brent features, the channel will also host archive material from Gervais' other acclaimed shows, such as After Life, and his stand-up performances. New content made specifically for the channel will also be available.

Meanwhile, a separate BBC documentary celebrating The Office's legacy will feature former co-stars Martin Freeman and Mackenzie Crook. Gervais and co-creator Stephen Merchant were reportedly approached but were unavailable to participate in the BBC special, titled Mackenzie Crook and Martin Freeman Remember...The Office, which is scheduled to air on Wednesday, July 8th. The original UK version of The Office, created by Gervais and Merchant, debuted in July 2001 and ran for two seasons.
