When the British version of The Office first aired, starring Ricky Gervais in all his awkward goodness, modern television changed for the better.

Sure the Americans spun out a number of seasons of their own, but the genius of Ricky Gervais and co-creator Stephen Merchant is that they always leave you wanting more.

Now, after far too long a wait, David Brent is back in the movie Life On The Road. Here’s the YouTube synopsis:

Directed, written by and starring Ricky Gervais, “DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD” is a feature length film which sees a documentary crew catching up with David Brent twelve years on from the mockumentary ‘The Office’. Brent is now a travelling salesman, chasing his dream of rock stardom by self-financing a UK tour with his band, ‘Foregone Conclusion’.

Yes I know you think Steve Carell was great but come on – let’s take a look at some of the best moments from the proper version:

The movie will show in UK cinemas from August 19 – bring it on Brent.
