'Too much!' Ricky Gervais forced to axe improvised After Life scene for being too rude

Brian’s entire arc on the show also proved popular as fans were quick to show their love for the character after the third run’s release.

Twitter user @mike13cowan said: “Not many better things on TV than #AfterLife. Each series is a rollercoaster of emotions that even manages to melt my own stone heart at times. @rickygervais is a genius and Brian has to be one of the funniest characters I’ve ever seen.”

Debbie Cockerill echoed: “@rickygervais you’re amazing and #AfterLife is just magical. Brian is my number 1, what a guy. Thank you for passing that onto us all x.”

While @ode8283 agreed: “Just binged #afterlife. Best thing I’ve seen in ages and something wrong with you if it doesn’t have you laughing and greeting in equal measure. Brian though, utterly outstanding.”

After Life seasons 1-3 are available to stream on Netflix now.
