Gervais is a master of creating awkward situations which just make you want to cringe, you forget that it's even acted.

[@matthewvarney6214]

Brent is not motivated by money, he is haunted by crushing loneliness and wants everyone to understand what a great person he really is. His ultimate goal even though most probably obscured from himself is more likely to be some form of connection I would think.

Not that much of a bunse because the film "David Brent on the Road Again" was a box office bomb and lost 7 million.

[@HelloJamesBond]

@@PreservationEnthusiast Lost £7M.......I find that hard to believe, by that account it cost at least £7M to make?

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@HelloJamesBond Budget was 10 million and it took 3 million at the Box Office. Therefore it was a Box office bomb. It may have made more at other outlets, I don't have the figures.

[@HelloJamesBond]

@@PreservationEnthusiast Wow I stand corrected......10M budget what were they thinking - typical Brent 🤣

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@HelloJamesBond The figures I got were from Wikipedia. I think two people financed it, Netflix and a BBC film unit or something like that. Gervais probably persuaded them it was going to be a huge hit on the back of the Office and Extras. But without Merchant, I think the plot and side characters are lacking. A shame because the music is good. I can see it being a cult hit in years to come.

When I was growing up Lilt was advertised on British TV for a few years by a couple of dancing Afro-Caribbean ladies. I think Brent's use of "Lilt" was an allusion to that, what with Dom being of, I assume, Afro-Caribbean heritage.

[@stealthy1086]
