Derek (TV Series) (2013) is a British mockumentary-style sitcom that aired from 2013 to 2014, spanning 2 seasons and 14 episodes. Created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais, the series is set in a nursing home and revolves around the character Derek, portrayed by Gervais himself. The character of Derek was initially introduced in Gervais' stand-up show "Rubbernecker" during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2001. The series delves into the lives of the nursing home's staff and residents, depicting them as marginalized individuals who face various challenges due to their exclusion from mainstream society. Derek, in his role as a caregiver, goes above and beyond his duties to assist the residents, such as purchasing a lottery scratchcard for one of them, which surprisingly wins £10. However, the resident passes away just before Derek can share the good news.
