nine months after it's pilot episode (april 12, 2012), "derek" retunrs to uk's channel 4, for a six
episode first season.
"derek" is a bitter sweet comedy drama about a group of outsiders living on society's margins. derek
noakes (ricky gervais) is a tender, innocent man whose love for his job and the people he cares for
shines through. he's 49, adores animals, rolf harris, jesus, deal or no deal, million pound drop and
britain's got talent - but his main hobby is autograph hunting. he works in a retirement home with his
mate and landlord, dougie (karl pilkington, in his debut acting role). derek cares deeply for old people
because they're kind and funny and tell him stories about the olden days. hannah (kerry godliman) is a
care worker at the home and is derek's best friend. she's smart, witty and hard-working, but unlucky
in love, and like derek, always puts other people first.
