Ricky Gervais responds to claims that he “snubbed” the BBC’s documentary marking The Office’s 25th anniversary. He rejects the suggestion, saying the accusations are false.
Instead, outlets report that Gervais highlights his own approach to celebrating the milestone. Metro and The Independent both note that he releases or presents his own content related to the anniversary, including a YouTube show. The reports frame his comments as a direct rebuttal to public claims about his absence or non-participation in the BBC programme.
While the coverage focuses on the denial itself, the differing angle across outlets is largely in emphasis: The Independent stresses that he insists he did not refuse the BBC event, while Metro foregrounds his characterisation of the “snub” claim as “nonsense.” Across sources, the central points remain that he denies the allegation and points to his separate anniversary programming.
