Ricky Gervais’ return as David Brent draws ever closer (Pics)

Ricky Gervais has posted photos from the set of the new The Office film.

Gervais will return to the role of David Brent for the film Life on the Road, 12 years after the sitcom ended. Earlier in the week, the 54-year-old shared the following on his Instagram account.

Great to be back in the office. A new dawn

The film will see Brent pursue his dreams of becoming a rockstar, a far cry from the original series which saw him as an office manager as a Slough-based paper company. We can't wait and we're sure there's plenty of other people that are equally as excited. https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/675644762179899392
