    Don’t mess with science. Science did everything first, science knows why you cry, science is going to stop the inevitable black-hole-end-of-all-things with a Pan-Dimensional Hadron Collider and Bucket of Paper Clips.

  Science’s big discovery this week is the long-debated half-life of talent: its ten years. Ten years from being a trailblazing cement-balled idea-fountain to facing a dull slide into rehashing the past-glories of the eighty-six million generations before you and dying, cold and alone, buried in a pit of money.  It’s happened to the best of them: Paul McCartney, Robert De Niro, Crunk Coco, and back in 2010, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

  The Office is brilliant: Cemetery Junction is the stuff they used to laugh at whilst thinking up David Brent in Wetherspoons, huffing ingenuity and running on Rustlers and cheap lager, and there’s almost exactly ten years between their two pillars of great/shit. You can see what they were trying; it’s a youth movie, made by grown-ups. It’s an escape fantasy, but delivered in a style that was haemoragingly boring and out of date even in the film’s heavy handed 70s setting. It makes you want to set fire to your sofa, just to watch a packet of Minstrels popping about as you burn. The actors aren’t at fault; this is all Gervais and Merchant’s mess, a cliché decathlon with 6th form dialogue and characters devised on the back of miniature cereal packets.   

  Pity the first-timers caught up in it, even the one whose acting style consists of staring at a wall for eight years, causing the hands of your watch to move backwards as boredom becomes your new stepdad. Pity Ralph Fiennes even more, forced to do his best with a villain so pantomime he might as well wear a cape and sit at the end of a pier downing Lambrini. It's awful, awful and all the more awful because it’s the stuff everyone involved used to hate.

  The Cemetery wasn’t the end for the former GENUINELY FUNNY MEN but it did represent a big old spit in the eye for any integrity they used to carry around as the result of writing one of the best sitcoms ever. Occasional flashes of the old dialogue slither through, but overall it’s the first skid on the slippery slope to Derek. The number one rule of science? It’s good to try different stuff, but not if it’s the same as awful things from thirty five years ago. Come friendly black holes, and suck up Slough…
