Ricky Gervais started filming new David Brent film Life On The Road on Tuesday (November 17) and is set to continue for the next five weeks on location in and around London and Slough. Aside from Gervais, it also stars Razorlight and We Are Scientists drummer Andy Burrows, who will play the drummer in Brent’s band, Foregone Conclusion. Gervais picks up his The Office character 12 years on from the series’ end in 2003 – David Brent is now a travelling salesman taking his band on a self-financed tour. See the first nostalgia-inducing images of the shoot in London via fans’ posts, below:
