Massamá

Dizem-me que afinal não há finanças em Massamá. Ou seja, só tornaria a coisa mais interessante.

Good ol' Bob and David

Preparando um dos grandes acontecimentos de 2008 (2009? Não faço ideia).

Fico contente #2

When you imagine Gervais and Merchant in a room together, you'd imagine they'd take their inspiration from schoolboy pranks and juvenile jokes. The reality is rather surprising. 'We use mood boards. Poems, music, reminding us of the place, the time, of what we're writing. For The Office, for instance, Betjeman's poem about Slough was there, reminding us. For Men at the Pru it's Springsteen: "Thunder Road".

"You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright." Como se não houvesse razões suficientes.

Eu, que nunca li um livro na vida, por isto:

The one time I'm properly taken aback by a response, for instance, comes when we're talking books. What does he like to read? (I can only assume that he does.) 'I don't read books. I'm sorry. I can't. I can't read books, other people's books. After the first sentence, the first paragraph, I'm off on my own scenario. It's no longer their book. I'm not reading it any more, I've put it down before turning the first page, I'm writing my own chapters, fitting in my own characters, trying to make it take off my way. So this would happen, then that would happen, of course that character would ... no, it's hopeless, so now I just don't.'

E ele é o Ricky Gervais. E não lê. E vai fazer uma série nova com o Stephen Merchant. É sobre vendedores de seguros nos anos 70 em Reading, mas podia ser sobre trabalhadores das finanças em Massamá nos anos 90 que seria igualmente interessante.
