After Life - Season Three (2022 Ricky Gervais)

Favourite moment - throwing a potted cactus through the back window of a car that hasn't stopped at a zebra crossing.

Gervais's pot shots are about self-publishing authors, swingers, men reclaiming malehood (and acting like wankers), super-superior teachers..

I would have preferred some of the super-gross material to have been omitted, but you have to forgive him for his series finale, featuring sick kids in hospital, and the way in the end everyone seems to find someone and some previous characters including Tracy-Ann Oberman and Steve Speirs appear. The importance of the dog (played by Anti) is most evident also. And the way he finally accepts that care home patient Dave Hill is his 'dad'. (Though perhaps the disappearing characters in the final shot is one touch too many.)

Tom Basden, Tony Way, Diane Morgan, Kerry Godliman, Ashley Jensen, David Bradley, Penelope Wilton, Jo Hartley, Jo Wilkinson. It's Hemel Hempstead.
