Ricky Gervais: Was he really David Brent all along?

Ricky Gervais has lost it from Guardian Unlimited: "It's hard to say exactly when Ricky Gervais stopped being the endearing, ingenious wit behind The Office and became the tiresome embarrassment he is today."

Wow. I didn't see him in any of the performances Shelley mentions, so I can't really speculate on the matter, but the comments are an interesting read.
