Which is a shame as he didn't just help with the Office, Extras etc..he was co-writer, director and co-star in Extras. Even if they have fallen out, Ricky should still acknowledge Merchant's contribution... it's just weird when he acts like the office etc was all just him.

Seems disingenuous to suggest one was carried by the other.

My thoughts exactly - actually Ricky seems to have a habit of freezing people out of his life once he’s done with them - ince, merchant, pilkington. To even slightly imply the ideas of the office can solely from him is embarrassing.
