Fans of the U.S. version of The Office might feel a little disappointed upon discovering that the U.K. version holds the crown for the best Christmas episode of all time. The Office (U.S.) delivered some great Yuletide episodes that are not-so-surprisingly among the top-rated sitcom Christmas specials. However, Ricky Gervais crafted something truly magical with the series finale of The Office U.K.

Among the two-part special episodes of Series 3, the episode Christmas Special: Part 2 achieved the highest IMDb rating for a Christmas episode. Gervais and co-creator Stephen Merchant decided against producing a full third series, opting instead to conclude the show with these brilliantly written specials.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s The Office has been remade once again, this time in Australia. Here’s the trailer.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s original version of The Office launched on the BBC in 2001. It introduced the world to boss from hell David Brent (Gervais) as he attempted to look good in front of the cameras documenting his workplace, paper merchants Wernham Hogg, alongside staff including Tim (Martin Freeman) Gareth (Mackenzie Crook) and Dawn (Lucy Davis).

All while trying to stay onside with bullying best mate Chris Finch (Ralph Ineson) and, in the second series, his new boss from the Swindon branch, Neil (Patrick Baladi).

Gervais and Merchant took cringe comedy to the extreme, with Brent becoming a byword for social awkwardness and inappropriate behaviour.

Since then, there have been 13 international versions, with Greg Daniels’ American version starring Steve Carrell being far and away the most successful,...

The Mavericks’ journey to the Western Conference Finals, led by the indomitable Luka Dončić, included a 4-2 series win over Oklahoma City. Dončić’s ability to control the game and deliver in clutch moments has been pivotal in propelling Dallas through the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have emerged as a force to be reckoned with, thanks to the stellar performances of Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. Minnesota’s resilience and adaptability have been on full display as they navigated through a tough Western Conference bracket, knocking out the Denver Nuggets — last year’s champs — in a full seven-game series.

One of the most anticipated aspects of this series is...

Quick Links The Witch Is the Performance of Ralph Inesons Career Ralph Ineson Can Capture Galactuss Authority and Malevolence The Best Possible Galactus Actor Ralph Ineson's experience playing menacing villains in past roles makes him a surprisingly perfect fit for the Marvel villain Galactus. Ineson's nuanced portrayal of the tragic villain William in The Witch demonstrates his ability to capture both authority and malevolence. The unlikely choice of Ineson for Galactus could potentially be the breakout role that propels him into the mainstream spotlight.

At long last, after several years of speculation, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally found its Galactus. This week confirmed that next years Fantastic Four will see the feared Devourer of Worlds make his debut, played by Ralph Ineson, best known as Chris Finch in the BBC version of The Office, Dagmer Clefjaw in Game of Thrones, and the titular character in The Green Knight.

The Fantastic Four reboot finally found its villain, Galactus, in British actor Ralph Ineson. Earlier this year, the movie had already announced its main cast, comprising four team members. Ineson has been part of several popular projects, and today, we brought a detailed article about the seasoned actor’s works and achievements. Keep scrolling for more.

About the actor-

Ralph Michael Ineson was born in Leeds and studied at Woodleigh School and Pocklington School. He studied theatre at Lancaster University’s Furness College and worked as a teacher and cricket coach at York Sixth Form College.

Ralph Ineson is widely acknowledged for his deep voice and heavy Yorkshire accent. From Harry Potter to Game of Thrones, he has been part of famous shows and movies. Marvel is known to catapult actors into a different level of stardom,...

Following the unveiling of the starring cast members of The Fantastic Four, it's now been revealed who will be playing the villain. It's also been confirmed that Galactus will serve as the villain of the film, though this had been expected by many fans.

Per THR, actor Ralph Ineson has officially been cast to play Galactus in The Fantastic Four. Ineson will reportedly play Galactus, a supervillain created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby who's derived from Marvel comic books. He was previously featured as a CGI cloud in the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. There had been rumors that Javier Bardem and Antonio Banderas were in consideration to play the supervillain for the new Fantastic Four movie before Ineson's casting.

Stars: Dean-Charles Chapman, Finn Cole, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ferida Walsh-Peelo, Ralph Ineson, Travis Fimmel, Conleith Hill | Written and Directed by Eoin Macken

About 4 or 5 years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing an up-and-coming director about his debut feature Leopard. A really low-budget independent Irish flick that had all the integrity and power of a Shane Meadows movie and showed us that Eoin Macken was well on his way to be more than just a leading man on American hospital drama The Night Shift. I was genuinely smitten with Leopard and thought it was a powerhouse story told with style, grace and intelligence. Macken was a director I was now aware of and would have to keep an eye on going forward. What would follow was a hell of a run on American hospital drama The Night Shift as Tc Callahan; and a role on the prematurely cancelled George R Martin show Nightflyers for Syfy.

For a generation of Brits (and a good-sized number of people around the world), he’ll forever be Chris Finch (or Finchy!), the painfully awful and sexist bully from the original U.K. series of The Office.

Fifteen years have passed since the 2003's conclusive Christmas special (where Ricky Gervais’ David Brent triumphantly tells his supposed friend to — finally — “fuck off”), and Ralph Ineson is the first to admit his career had been “trucking on very nicely” since leaving the Wernham Hogg paper merchants. A steady lineup of roles across British film and TV (including the penultimate Harry Potter and...

Well, hello all of you crazy kids out there! It’s your nerd with the word, Melissa here, and I have a treat for you…

Recently, I got to attend the Winnie The Pooh junket at Disney Animation Studios. I was like a kid in a candy store! Not only do I love movies… but I love to draw! Hooray!

We started the day with a screening of the movie Winnie The Pooh with an introduction by the Producer, Peter Del Vecho.

Next, I got to go into the recording booth and attempt to do a voiceover for Piglet. They showed me a clip from the new film, and then I had to read the script while attempting to also see when Piglet’s mouth was moving. It was really hard, but super fun! (So, if anyone wants to hire me… I am tooootally available! Hint, Hint… Wink, Wink!) Even...
