    the truth is, as much as this is a funny song, it contains genuine pathos and melancholy. The joke is on Dave Brent, and on Slough, but its also truthful and wistful. Ricky Gervais sees the sadness behind the mundanity of life & a character like Brent and that is why Ricky is so talented, and such a brilliant writer and observer of life

    Ricky I have to say I absolutly LOVE the show Derek. I'm watching it now. I work here in the US in an independent living facility for the elderly and this show is making me laugh, cry, all emotions. Heartwarming show. I loves old ppl. The elderly, babies, and animals, all have something special about them and we cherish every moment we have with them. I'm also a HUGE Office fan UK/US. And your golden globes speech was phenomenal. You are truly a class act 🏆.
    P.S. This song rocks.

      Think of it as a mini Walmart that opens late. We also have Sunday trading laws so shops have to close at 4 or 4.30 on Sunday. But Tesco Express is allowed to stay open late on a Sunday. I can't remember the reason why.

    It doesn't matter where you're from
    You wanna work? Then come along
    The station's just got a new floor
    And the motorway runs by your door
    And you know just where you're heading
    It's equidistance 'tween London and Reading
    Oh Slough
    My kind of town
    I don't know how, anyone could put you down
    To the West you got Taplow and Bray
    You got Hillingdon the other way
    It's a brilliant place to live and work
    It was in Bucks now officially it's Berks
    Don't listen to what the critics say
    Like it's soulless, and boring and grey
    See for yourself, what you waiting for?
    We're on the Bath road, that's the A4
    And you know just where you'll be heading
    It's equidistance 'tween London and Reading
    Oh Slough

I must go on RUclips and look up “best of Kev in derek” weekly. It always makes me laugh and cheers me up. The possibilities are endless, there must be so much material there to do. You could make it as a documentary about him. Some low budget production by some “do gooders” who want to video the plights of a man who’s life is rock bottom. Could follow him around his hang out spots. Boozing on street corners, kids parks etc. He could have a bunch of low life mates too. We’re in a world of too much political correctness at the minute. Someone who’s as crude and disgusting as Kev would give these sort of people nightmares. It would be so refreshing. Hope this message reaches you mate ❤️
