Life's Too Short.....

Stephen Merchant, Warwick Davis and Ricky Gervais

No, this is not a blog about someone on the verge of finding enlightenment or about someone who has wasted too much time in their lives worrying about non-sensical and trivial things rather than thinking about themselves.  

“Life’s Too Short” is Ricky Gervais’ and Stephen Merchant’s new BBC2 Comedy/Mockumentary. 

Ricky and Stephen are two of my most favourite comedy actors and writers.  From the days of The 11 O’clock Show, The Office (love Brent and the Og Monster) and of course Andy Millman and Extras, and let’s not forget Ricky’s untouchable and amazingly hilarious live stand-up shows, such as Animals, Politics, Fame and Science (love the dad wanking at daughter joke!)

“Life’s Too Short” centres around a middle-aged, middle-sized agent (small-sized really), who is perfectly and funnily acted by British legend Warwick Davis.  Warwick also co-wrote the series!

 Warwick tries to use his past credentials of being an Ewok in Star Wars and that small weird goblin/elf/midget/dwarf (homage to The Office...) in Willow as a means of getting more business and clients, all of whom are of the small or little persuasion.

It’s yet another great, funny and enjoyable  series from the Masters of Comedy, which deliverers brilliant comedy and cringing moments, much like the unforgettable ”The Office” and of course the amazing “Extras” series.  Much like Extras, Life’s Too Short boasts a massive casts of Hollywood starts, such as Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and Helena Bonham-Carter, not to mention cameos by Ricky and Stephen.

I won’t go into the detail around the workings and the details of the show, as I feel you should check this out yourself, but do watch it!  It’s shown on BBC every Thursday at 9.30pm.
