Losing my Religion

I'm setting up a new group, to support a growing group of people in the United Kingdom.

Ten years ago, many people believed in Ricky Gervais. His comedy of embarrassment in The Office, representing a bungling buffoon who does not understand his own crassness, seemed to be a comedy classic.

It has now become clear that in fact Gervais had merely wandered onto the set under the impression he actually worked in that office. When the other actors came out of character and cleared off at the end of the series, he just carried on regardless.

I realise that for many people, losing your faith in Gervais can be hard. But help is at hand. In our support group you can come to grips with your new knowledge that Gervais does not really exist - it was just a name we gave to David Brent. You can discover that in fact "Gervais", "Bernard Manning", "Jim Davidson" - they're really just names we give to the unknown fear that other people might be as valuable as we are. You can meet other people who've stopped believing in Gervais, and in time you can find a real freedom.

Living Without Gervais - you really can do it.

    I guess we will have to - didn't they crucify him a week or so ago?
