David Brent is back! That’s extraordinarily good news for comedy fans (is anyone not a fan of comedy?) – after thirteen long years, the mad titan of Wernham Hogg will once again bestride our screens like a dopey, well meaning, terminally inept colossus.

Set long after the events of The OfficeDavid Brent – Life on the Road sees the eponymous idiot on tour with his band, Foregone Conclusion. That is pretty much the entire conceit: Brent, as charmless a man as ever drew breath, doing his darnedest to entertain halls full of dubious punters while his bandmates gut it out for their paycheques. And that should be all Gervais needs to bring the funny.

David Brent – Life on the Road is due for release on August 25.
