When The Office celebrated its 25th anniversary earlier this year, there was one notable absence from a BBC documentary special – Ricky Gervais. Now, the star and creator has addressed why he skipped filming and hit out at claims that it was a “snub to the BBC”.
Gervais, who created and starred as cringe-inducing paper company boss David Brent in the award-winning sitcom, celebrated the mockumentary’s anniversary on his YouTube channel with a video looking at the character’s 25 greatest moments.
