FANS of David Brent in South Oxfordshire have been pleasantly surprised by a shout-out to Didcot in the latest video for the TV character's upcoming film.
Today Ricky Gervais released the ironic video for David Brent: Life on the Road in which he describes spotting a pretty traveller by a lake south of Didcot.
Any song that can get 'Didcot' in its lyrics has my vote. 'Lady Gypsy' video from David Brent... (AKA @rickygervais) https://t.co/PDkc4nnasm

Mr Gervais goes on to sing a song titled "Lady Gypsie" which is a comical video about falling in love with the woman he stumbled across in the Oxfordshire town.
The film is out on August 19 and tickets can be booked from davidbrent-movie.co.uk
Cannot wait for this!!! "By the lakeside, just south of Didcot" is possibly my favourite lyric ever 😂😂 https://t.co/moJZAV33QZ
