    This was gently funny, but Steve Coogan is really showing us how to revive a British comedy:

    I know I’m in the minority here, but if you actually watch Derek, it’s not having a laugh at the expense of the developmentally disabled. It’s really well done, I promise! More a showcase of an oddball Christopher Guest-type character than an exploitation of the cognitively impaired. Like this, which we can all agree is wonderful and not mean-spirited: http://vimeo.com/46245944
