Comedian Ricky Gervais is bringing his most famous character out of retirement for a one-off TV appearance to raise money for charity.
Gervais will don his suit and goatee beard to play David Brent from his hit show The Office once again in a sketch for Britain's Comic Relief.
In
the skit, the embarrassing office manager will be trying to break his way into the music industry as a manager.
Gervais tells Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I thought it was time to revisit my most famous comedy creation to find out what he's been up to for the last decade - and, most importantly, what he's up to now.
"He is passing on his wisdom to younger would-be rock stars now. Well, really he is trying to worm his way back into rock and roll."
