Brent leaves a wheelchair-bound worker in the stairwell during a fire drill (“We’ll come back for her later”) and makes his secretary cry in a practical joke gone awry. He’s joined by office sycophant Gareth Keenan (Mackenzie Crook), who sticks to the rules and sells himself to the ladies: “I am caring, and sensitive. Isn’t ‘Schindler’s List’ a brilliant film?” The show was a nuanced, naturalistic firecracker of a comedy, where...
...BRAND X PICTURES/GETTY. MANIPULATION BY GARETH BURGESS console the 1,750 passengers who had paid up to $79,000 to flee the British winter. But some memories of the fiasco might be blunted by P&O's provision of free drinks while it tried to make the 76,000-ton luxury liner seaworthy.

"The studio wasn't, because they didn't know the world was changing. George did know the world was changing. I mean, he changed...
...Gareth, a typical Swain surrogate, finds it all a bit odd, but what the hell. The whole place is weird anyway. For instance, a reservoir created by a dam has been drying out, revealing a once-sunken village. Swain shows us the fish that have formed a churning mass, forced ever closer by the waning pool. The mystery of Ross - whether he's turned feral by choice or by circumstance or ill luck - remains unanswered. The reasons don't matter. For Swain the mystery of the world is what makes it interesting. You have to give in to her ambiguities...
