TV Series (2013-2014). 2 Seasons. 14 Episodes. Filmed in a mockumentary style, it stars and was written and directed by Ricky Gervais. It is set in an old people's home and centres on a helper at the home, Derek, played by Gervais. The titular character is based on one that first appeared in Gervais' stand-up show "Rubbernecker" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2001. The show portrays the home's workers and residents as unhappy outsiders who struggle in life due to being disadvantaged, excluded from and unwanted by mainstream society. Derek goes beyond his job description to help residents, including buying a lottery scratchcard for a resident. It wins £10, but she dies shortly before he returns to tell her.
