Welcome to the SDMB, **peterbaby**.

Discussions on the arts belong in Cafe Society, so I’m moving this there – but then I’m going to close it, since there’s a pretty much [current conversation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=609745&highlight=gervais) about Gervais happening already.
