RT Visits the Set of Cemetery Junction
"He won't do it," says Ricky Gervais, striding over to RT. He's referring to his round-headed friend Karl Pilkington. Last time we sat down with Gervais he'd suggested Pilkington -- co-star of his phenomenally successful podcast series with Stephen Merchant - as a film reviewer for the Tomatometer. "I said, 'They'll pay you £50.' He wasn't interested. I said, 'We'll dress you up as a giant tomato.' He went, 'Oh, this is getting better and better.'" But while Gervais has failed in that particular recruiting mission, he and Merchant are on fine form today. It's late July and RT has come to the Shepperton Studios set of Cemetery Junction, their first feature film together after success on the small screen with The Office and Extras.
