Talk:Life's Too Short (TV series)

Similarities?
Could we create a table with what Office/Extras/Life's Too Short have in common? 92.20.181.25 (talk) 10:20, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, no. Seems too much like original research to me, and too much like trivia.  Are there reliable sources that are saying this? Stronach (talk) 08:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

It may sound like original research, but surely no one can complain unless it is original research? There's no reason for an article to be dull. 92.20.159.63 (talk) 14:17, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Reception
The critical response hasn't been great. Should there be a CR section? 92.18.211.26 (talk) 22:16, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

devlopment
Doesn't there seem to be a lot of minutiae about the development of the show - couldn't there just be a link to Gervais twitter feed rather than replicating most of it here (presumably). --86.148.34.134 (talk) 00:49, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Indeed - this article needs some serious pruning; at the moment it is a puff piece for the series, with not even a summary of the episodes. Ender&#39;s Shadow Snr (talk) 23:52, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Conflicting information
This article has seemingly inconsistent information about the origins of the show. In the lede, it claims the series was "based on an idea by Warwick Davis." However, under "Development," it claims that "Gervais first mentioned Life's Too Short on his blog in February 2010, when he and Merchant were writing and casting the project. They would go on to select Warwick Davis for the lead role after a number of auditions."

It seems unlikely that these things could both be true. If the show was Davis's idea, how was he not connected to it until after the show was cast? I suppose Davis could have had the original idea but was not actually cast for the lead role until later, but that is not at all clear even if that is the case. It's much more likely that the claim in the lede is erroneous, but I can't even check the source because it is no longer on the original site and the Wayback Machine is apparently down today. Can anyone offer any insight? 72.204.54.180 (talk) 22:52, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
