Ricky Gervais’ ‘After Life’ park bench vandalised

Netflix and Ricky Gervais in conjunction with the comedy series After Life, has been vandalised.The bench at the Heath is inscribed with the words “Hope is Everything”, a quote from the Netflix series which heavily focuses on the theme of mental health.To mark the end of the series last year, mental health charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) partnered with Netflix to place 25 benches in parks across the country — each one with a QR code linking to CALM’s resources.However, local writer Zoe Margolis, who says she always sit at the spot when visiting the Heath, described her shock after noticing that the bench’s plaque was missing on Sunday (October 15).“Seeing the show’s motto ‘Hope is Everything’ carved into the bench must surely offer those who sit there a moment of peace in these troubled times – a chance to gather their thoughts or share them with other people,” she told Ham & High.“I think it’s really sad the bench has been vandalised in this way, because it undermines the message of compassion and care.

‘Peep Show’ writer reveals abandoned plans for a stage adaptation

Peep Show co-writer Sam Bain has revealed that they received offers to turn the hit Channel 4 sitcom into a play.Speaking exclusively to NME, Bain said that he and fellow co-writer Jesse Armstrong (Succession) had to reject the proposal because they couldn’t figure out how to make the show work on stage.Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, Peep Show documented the increasingly tragic lives of bank manager Mark Corrigan (played by David Mitchell) and his layabout flatmate/ occasional musician Jeremy Usborne (played by Robert Webb).The iconic comedy was shot through a POV perspective with the actors performing to camera, while the characters’ internal thoughts were added as narration. This format proved to be revolutionary, but it was one Bain and Armstrong knew they wouldn’t be able to replicate on stage.“There was an offer to do a live Peep Show, a stage show, after the last series, which we did carefully consider because it was coming from some proper people,” said Bain.
