@@TheCornishCockneyRicky very rarely if ever misses when it comes to shows or movies he writes and produces himself. This is why he can't be cancelled because he funds, writes and produces all of his own work. Whatever he wants to make he makes it and he doesn't have to answer to anyone. This is why Hollywood can't stand him because he's from a working class background and he's independent from the rest of the industry and loved by the average person.

I am from Reading and went to the same school at Ricky (Ashmead) He was a few years older than me. I was reminded he did a school assembly as the band. I remember the Assembly but at the time I did not know Ricky so no comprehension of who it was on stage. I suspect not many people have seen his band perform. Love that he is proud of his background (living on Northumberland Avenue) and constantly references his home town in his work.

You have to watch UK Office. It's challenging - the humour is very unique, it will have you cringing continually, but it's a masterpiece. The David Brent character invented by Ricky is outstanding. There's also a spin off called David Brent on the road, where Brent gets a band together and does a tour of small pubs etc. It's so clever, reminiscent of Spinal Tap at a much lower level where Brent has to pay the musicians to do the tour. Full of cringe. Don't watch the US Office first because that's a whole different animal - watered down, family friendly, mainstream in comparison.

He is genuine and relatable, no BS, average Brit who has the balls to say what we might think but don’t like to admit or wouldn’t dare say. Even his most offensive jokes, it’s what a lot of us think, especially people his age, pair all that with the fact that he is hilarious, wrote one of the best sitcoms ever and very successful stand-up tours, then had a stroke of luck with meeting Karl, getting the sky deal etc. But he’s become a casualty of the woke movement, also his last stand-up wasn’t so good. The way he exposed Hollywood too, representing the average person amongst those who are so out of touch and hypocritical.

I used to think the same but he seems to have changed. Whether it’s his age or what I don’t know. Going back over his past material he is not quite so clever as he thinks he is and makes the odd error mainly in word meanings. His tv series are brilliant and loving in a way. I think he’s stopped being loving and is gradually becoming an old embittered neo conservative slagging off people that hold contrary opinions to him. He may be right in most cases but that doesn’t make him omniscient.
