Here’s a clip from Life’s Too Short, the new BBC series from Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Warwick Davis. Here we see Liam Neeson announce that he wants to start his own career in comedy, and has a go at some improv. We know Neeson is a badass (see him here fighting wolves), but who knew he could be this funny? You will have to watch to see how good he is at being bad at it…yeah.
“Life’s Too Short” premiered on BBC Two on Nov. 10, and focuses on the 3 foot, 6 inch actor Warwick Davis, who plays a fictionalized version of himself. HBO will broadcast the series next year after its BBC run.
See all our LTS news. For all those who enjoy their other series ‘An Idiot Abroad‘, enjoy this.

Here is preview video from BBC’s upcoming show Life’s Too Short created by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Warwick Davis. The video below shows Davis introducing Depp to Gervais, there seems to be heat between the two after Gervais’ Golden Globes jokes aimed at the star. Forget the Tim Allen burn, I love that someone took a dig at Tim Burton casting his wife in everything he does. Watch below:

Here is your first glimpse of what Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant have in store for Karl Pilkington in series 2 of An Idiot Abroad, it’s going to be great. American Horror Story premieres on FX this October from creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. If Murphy’s track record means anything, a lot of people will hate this show and a lot of people will pretend they hate this show (see Glee).
Watch both teasers below:

I really hope people keep in mind when watching these promos and trailers for Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s upcoming comedy Life’s Too Short, that it’s just that…comedy. I’ve seen comments on others sites saying that Ricky is mean for what he says and does to Warwick Davis – who is a 41 year old man who helped create and stars in the show. I think he’s in on it if you ask me. The Internet kids, when will they learn? [see Ricky Gervais with Elmo and Warwick Davis]
Life’s Too Short created and written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and is described by Gervais as being about “the life of a showbiz dwarf”, with Warwick Davis playing a fictionalised version of himself. How can it get better than that?

Raise your hands in the air, and wave them like you're just not concerned.
Welcome to The CoF Weekend Preview where we take a look at what’s going on this weekend in entertainment. Check back Sunday night for the Box Office Report and return Monday for The City Strip. Don’t forget to check out the CoF Summer Movie Guide 2011 for what else is coming soon to theaters. The City of Films Show Episode 3 is happening next week, check out the previous episodes here.
Horrible Bosses – IMDB – RT (76%)
Sadly I have a feeling that this great looking movie [trailer here and here] isn’t going to fair too well up against the returning robots and Kevin James falling all over the place. Still, strong word of mouth and images like this one won’t hurt business in the long run.
Zookeeper – IMDB – RT (15%)
Go see Horrible Bosses.
Other:
Curb Your Enthusiasm – (HBO, Sunday) – The Season 8 premiere.
Speaking of bosses, the Office UK edition is celebrating 10 years, we did our part with Ricky Gervais Week II but here is a classic scene below with a retrospective with Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Best boss ever.
