Ricky Gervais 2003

It's 2003 and The Office Christmas special is set to debut on our screens in a matter of weeks. With that in mind, Ricky Gervais popped in to Radio 1 for a quick chat with Newsbeat’s Carrie Davis. What followed was peak Gervais madness, and we’re releasing the whole interview, for the first ever. A genuine treat for Gervais fans and a nightmare for the person who had to find a short clip for Newsbeat, all those years ago.This is uncut audio from the BBC Archive.
