First topic message reminder :

what a sanctimonious load of old twaddle.
I have just watched the first episode and found it quietly charming and not played in a spiteful way at all.
Derek is not the butt of jokes but a child like character who see life through different eyes. He sees the good in everyone.
there are not the belly laughs that might have occurred in the office, but there is humour there and it is not spiteful humour. There is a real tenderness and vulnerability in Derek. the funniest bit was when he fell in the garden pond.
Carl Pilkington is also surprisingly good as his best mate and handyman. Although the part was written for him so there is a lot of carl in it.
IT seems that some people see ism's and phobes every where they look and that I suspect says far more about their view of the world than the reality of what actually is.
