The second series of Derek has been just emotional and heat warming as the first and the finale of the series will not disappoint.
The press release tells us the plot of the episode is,
‘Derek goes on a date with a girl from a dating website! He’s excited but worried about his dad’s health.
True to form Geoff nearly ruins things for Derek, but Kev stands up to him.’
The episode will star Ricky Gervais, Kerry Goldliman, David Earl and Holli Dempsey.
To celebrate another successful series of Derek, here is a countdown of the character stories we followed this time.
Episode one – in episode one, following on from the finale of the first series when Derek was reunited with his dad, his dad moved in with him.
Episode two- Kev cleaned up his act in order to get a new job and Pete visited Derek, causing some problems.
Episode three- we seen Derek’s dad go on a date in this episode, with Tom’s nan and we seen the heart wrenching moment when Kev calls on his brother Cliff for help.
Episode four- Ricky Gervais took to Twitter just before this episode was aired, to explain that this episode was his favourite in the series. In this episode, the Meadway animal shelter came to visit the home, much to Derek’s delight, but unfortunately things take a turn for the worst when Derek gets bad news.
The first series of Derek had some mixed reviews, with some viewers finding it to poking fun at those with disabilities. Even with these reviews, Channel 4 commissioned it for a second series and now some think the second series has taken a slightly softer approach to the issues the characters face.
The final episode for Derek series two will be aired on Channel 4 next Wednesday at 10pm.
