Life's too Short - Postmodern text
Ricky Gervais' new comedy - Life's Too Short - is starting this Thursday 10th November 2011 on BBC2 at 9pm. This will be useful for you to watch in preparation for later in the year.
It is a classic postmodern text as it parodies the documentary style, is very self-referential and knowing, has celebrities mocking themselves etc. All the best parts of The Office and Extras combined and it's contemporary!
There is also 'The Making of...' on iPlayer at the moment which gives a good insight into what they want to achieve with the programme.
