Everyone is curious how Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are going to pull off “The Office” China-version. The Guardian writes, “Given that media outlets in China operate under tight state control, the level of Gervais and Merchant’s involvement could be smaller than that it has been in other incarnations, although one suspects David Brent’s broad alignment with the philosophy of 90s pop artist Des’ree – “Money don’t make my world go round, I’m reaching out to a higher ground” – would fit fairly well with the convictions of the Central People’s Government.”
In other wonderful Gervais news, he, Merchant and lovable Karl Pilkington are currently working on a series called “An Idiot Abroad,” which sees “the hapless former radio producer and alleged possessor of a notably spherical head sent around the globe in a bid to broaden his mind.”
Can’t wait for that.
