The first episode of Andy's sitcom has been broadcast and the critics have slaughtered it.
The viewing figures have been pretty decent though.
Andy thinks he is on the first steps of real fame. Even though the sitcom has not turned out the way he hoped.
This one is a real cringefest. The way Andy thinks he needs to give a homeless guy some money or else the guy will tell people Andy is a miser.
The ultimate humiliation comes when David Bowie sings a song that mocks and embarasses Andy. He ends up returning to a pub where some ordinary fans were mobbing him. He was embarrassed with them at first, but now he takes comfort in the same shallow but real fans.
I cannot help noticing the parallels to how Ricky Gervais must have felt when he first hit the big time with The Office.
