At the turn of this century, Ricky was preparing to star and direct a pilot he had written with Stephen Merchant for the BBC, called ‘The Office’. It went quite well and a series was commissioned. It first aired at 9.30pm on Monday 9 July 2001 on the BBC. The rest as they say is history.

It is the most critically acclaimed sitcom of all time becoming the first British comedy to win a Golden Globe. In all, Ricky has won two Golden Globes, three Primetime Emmys, and seven BAFTAS.

‘The Office’ is the most successful British comedy of all time being shown in over 90 countries with seven remakes. The NBC version is the most successful US remake of a British show for over 30 years. It reached the magic 100 episodes in 2009 and has started its first phase of syndication.

Ricky won his first Emmy as Executive Producer on ‘The Office’ (US) in 2006. He won his second for ‘Extras’ in 2007. Only two British sitcoms have won Golden Globes – ‘The Office’ and ‘Extras’.

Over a 10-year period Ricky Gervais has become the most influential British comedian since Charlie Chaplin. He is an award-winning stand up and his tour ‘FAME’ became the fastest selling UK stand up show in history selling an untouchable 100,000 tickets in 9 minutes! He played to 500,000 people that year including his first US tour, which was recorded as an HBO special at Madison Square Gardens. The show received three Emmy nominations.

He was named in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People In The World, one place behind Nelson Mandela. This annoyed Ricky who said of Mandela... "He didn't do anything for 25 years".

He is the only guest star of ‘The Simpsons’ to also write an episode. It became the highest rated Simpson's episode of all time on Sky One in 2006. He also appeared on ‘Sesame Street’, which he says is the highlight of his career.

In 2005, Ricky turned his hand to podcasting and is now in The Guinness Book Of Records as the most downloaded internet show of all time. He was the first to charge for podcasts the following year and has now clocked up a staggering 180,000,000 shows downloaded. ‘The Ricky Gervais Show’ has been the number one selling audiobook in the world since 2006. In 2009 it was made into a 13 part animated series for HBO. It is currently being sold around the world and will air in The UK on Channel 4 in March 2010.

In 2004 his children's book ‘Flanimals’ was published going on to sell over a million copies. It is currently being made into a Hollywood movie in which Ricky will star as the Puddloflaj- a fat sweaty wobbler - (The Puddloflaj that is).

The beginning of the next decade is looking good for the fat bloke from Reading too. He started the year as the first host of The Golden Globes since 1995, with an estimated world TV audience of 250 million. His new animation premiers in February. ‘Cemetery Junction’ is out in April and his new tour will spread to The US and other parts of the world.

William Shatner has cultivated a career that has spanned over 50 years as an Emmy and Golden Globewinning actor, director, producer, screenwriter, recording artist, author, and horseman. He is one of pop culture’s most recognizable figures and has also established himself as a major Hollywood philanthropist. Born in Montreal, Shatner developed an early interest in acting and started working professionally at the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) before he reached his teens. He found himself drawn to the theater and eventually joined the Stratford Shakespeare Festival under Sir Tyrone Guthrie. Tamburlaine, one of the festival’s productions, moved to Broadway and Shatner was immediately noticed by the New York critics. He later returned to Canada and won the Tyrone Guthrie Award. During his time at Stratford, Shatner also wrote plays for the CBC. He moved to New York and was a part of television’s Golden Age, working on programs such as Playhouse 90 and Studio One. He made his film debut in 1957’s The Brothers Karamazov, followed by Judgment at Nuremburg and The Intruder. During the same period, he starred on Broadway in The World of Suzie Wong and A Shot in the Dark. He has since guest starred in several hundred television programs including classics such as The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Mission: Impossible. He also recurred on other staples including 77 Sunset Strip and Dr. Kildare before garnering an Emmy nomination for his appearances in 3rd Rock from the Sun. In 1966, Shatner originated the role of “Captain James T. Kirk” in the television series Star Trek, which rocketed to fame — but only after the show was cancelled and then later re-launched in syndication. The series spawned a feature film franchise in which Shatner reprised the role of Captain Kirk in seven of the Star Trek motion pictures. He has since appeared in other movies such as Airplane II: The Sequel, Loaded Weapon 1, Showtime and both installments of the Miss Congeniality franchise. Shatner played the title role in the network series T.J. Hooker before hosting television’s first realitybased series, Rescue 911, for six seasons. Since Rescue 911 first aired in 1989, over 300 lives have been saved by people who learned life-saving techniques from the show. He made his feature film directorial debut in 1989 with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (in which he also starred and helped conceive the story). Since then, he has directed several other features, television movies, and series. Most recently, he directed (as well as co-wrote, produced and starred in) Groom Lake, a picture about the mysterious area in the southwestern United States. Shatner was one of the first celebrities in Hollywood to recognize the importance of the Internet. Since April 1998, he has served as the spokesman for Priceline.com. His enduring appeal has proven to be an integral part of the company’s ad campaigns and brand marketing program. As the celebrity spokesperson for Priceline.com, he contributes his trademark sense of humor and entertaining style to the groundbreaking and humorous series of television and radio commercials. In September 2004, Shatner won an Emmy for his recurring role as eccentric lawyer “Denny Crane” on The Practice, the David E. Kelley-created legal drama that finished its run in 2004. Shatner then reprised the role – this time as a series regular – on the hit program Boston Legal. As a result, he won his first Golden Globe in January 2005 and another Emmy that September. He has since earned four more Emmy nominations, a second Golden Globe nod as well as two SAG Award nominations. Currently airing on the BIO channel is Shatner's Raw Nerve, his own edgy and off-beat celebrity interview series. In each episode, Shatner spends a half hour getting to know his guest on an intensely personal level and touch upon subjects not normally visited on other talk shows. Guests such as Rush Limbaugh, Gene Simmons, Valerie Bertinelli, Tim Allen, Jon Voight, Jenna Jameson, Jimmy Kimmel, Kelsey Grammer have discussed topics such as addiction, grief, childhood, marriage, combat and parenthood. Shatner traveled to Riverside, Iowa, which boasts itself as the “Future Birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk.” Shatner and a crew from Los Angeles filmed Invasion Iowa, a special in which an entire town was punked into believing that a sci-fi film was being shot there. Locals were hired on as cast and crew only to later discover that their reactions — not a movie — were being filmed. The mini-series aired in March 2005 on Spike TV and was very well received by critics and audiences alike. His love and appreciation of music inspired him to go into the studio and record Has Been, a compilation of songs he recorded with such musical artists as Ben Folds (who also produced the record), Brad Paisley, Joe Jackson, Aimee Mann and Henry Rollins. The album features Shatner’s trademark vocalization and shows off his passion for poetry and lyricism. Has Been was released through Shout! Factory in October 2004. In March 2006, he produced and starred in a TV Land special entitled William Shatner in Concert, featuring highlights from concerts that he performed with several of Has Been’s guest artists. The music was interwoven into segments that followed Shatner in various everyday activities as well as some very special moments, such as the birth of one of his granddaughters. The Milwaukee Ballet performed “Common People,” a dance presentation set to several numbers from Has Been. The event — as well its preparations — were filmed and can be seen in the new documentary William Shatner’s Gonzo Ballet, which has been playing to sold out houses on the film festival circuit. The picture won Best Documentary at the Marbella Film Festival in October 2009. Spring 2008 marked the release of Shatner’s brand new recording, Exodus. Written by David Itkin and performed with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra (including a chorus of 350 and over 70 instruments), Shatner narrated the story of Exodus to sold out crowds in Little Rock in the spring of 2005. The CD is available in retail outlets everywhere. He produced and starred in the 2006 cable special How William Shatner Changed the World, an Emmynominated documentary that aired on the History Channel and was based on his book I’m Working on That. The program goes in-depth to show how many of the gadgets used in the original Star Trek television series inspired and foreshadowed some of today’s technological staples such as cell phones and PDA devices. Shatner was also heard in movie theatres throughout the world in the summer of 2006. He starred as the voice of “Kazar” in the Walt Disney feature The Wild, a film animated by C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures in Toronto—a company in which Shatner is a partner. He was also one of the lead characters in the DreamWorks animated picture Over the Hedge, playing “Ozzie the Opossum.” Off the screen and broadcast waves, Shatner has authored over two dozen best-selling books in both the fiction and non-fiction genres. His TekWar novels were turned into a television series (in which he starred and directed) for The Sci-Fi Network and have been reborn as a comic book serial. Some of his other popular novels include Man O’ War, Star Trek Avenger and Ashes of Eden. He wrote two books about his Star Trek career in Star Trek Memories and Star Trek Movie Memories before penning Get A Life!, a hilarious but endearing look at the cult of Star Trek Conventions. His latest novel is Star Trek: The Academy — Collision Course. Shatner’s newest book is his autobiography, Up Till Now. Released in May 2008, it very quickly became a New York Times best-seller and received praise from reviewers and readers alike around the world. A new comic book series – William Shatner Presents – debuted in summer 2009. The series is based on three novels of Shatner’s: Tek War, Man O’ War, and Quest for Tomorrow, along with a brand new title: Chimera. Shatner has also become a success in another career — horse breeding and competing. A longtime dedicated breeder of American Quarter horses, he has also had smashing success with the beautiful American Saddlebred, developing and riding world champions “Sultan’s Great Day” and “Revival.” He has won numerous world championships in several equine events. His passions for horses and philanthropy were united through his involvement with AHEAD With Horses, a therapeutic riding charity that gives physically and mentally challenged children the thrill of riding a horse—and boosts their confidence and self-esteem, often with life-changing results. For the past 19 years, he has hosted the Hollywood Charity Horse Show at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. The event, held every spring, benefits AHEAD With Horses and other Los Angeles-based charities. He has also worked with the American Tinnitus Association, raising awareness of this debilitating illness through numerous television appearances and interviews. Additionally, he has helped raise awareness of the subpar treatment that many U.S. troops were receiving at Walter Reed Army Hospital. On an international level, he and his wife have started the William & Elizabeth Shatner Therapeutic Riding Consortium Endowment for Israel. This very special venture is designed to benefit Bedouin, Palestinian, Jordanian, and Israeli children so that in addition to healing, there will be an effort to bring the war-torn children together and start the first steps towards a lasting peace. Shatner continues to act, write, produce and direct while still managing to find time to work with charities and further his passion in the equestrian sports. He and his wife and three married children live in Los Angeles. [ Minimize ]

Cameron Death was named Vice President, Digital Content, NBC Universal, in November 2007. He reports to Vivi Zigler, President, NBC Universal Digital Entertainment. Death joined NBC Universal from Microsoft to advance digital innovations for the company. He launched the NBC Universal Digital Studio, a first-of-its-kind division designed to create and distribute original digital content for major advertisers. "Gemini Division," the studio’s first project starring Rosario Dawson and underwritten by Microsoft, Cisco, Acura, UPS and Intel was called a "litmus test for old media," and quickly became an Internet, video-on-demand and mobile success. In 2009 he debuted two original digital series, "Ctrl," with Nestea starring Tony Hale ("Arrested Development") and "In Gayle We Trust," with American Family Insurance was written and directed by Brent Forrester (NBC’s "The Office") and starring Elisa Donovan ("Clueless," "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Sabrina The Teenage Witch"). Death's digital career began at the University of Kansas where he ran all business aspects of the newspaper and pioneered its web efforts. Upon graduating, Death was selected by Knight-Ridder, Inc. as one of two graduates invited into the company's "Publisher Fast-Track" program where he was responsible for conceptualizing, selling and launching Knight-Ridder’s first Internet venture for the world’s largest retail outlet. In 1997, Death joined Microsoft to drive regional marketing, sales and product development for Sidewalk.com. After Microsoft sold Sidewalk.com to IAC he joined MSN’s management team where he launched MSN Mobile 2.0 with Bill Gates and drove business development, product development, sales and marketing for MSN Autos. In 2004, Death created MSN’s "Custom Solutions" team which he designed as an "agency within a publisher," and grew to over 50 people to produc advertiser-funded online innovations such as "Chef to the Rescue," -- the web’s first online cooking show for busy moms, created with Kraft; "The Wall," a real-time interactive graffiti-able city, sponsored by Sprite; "Live Tastefully," a guide to tasteful living hosted by Anthony Bourdain (and presented by Amstel); "Business Breakthrough," an interactive destination for small business owners from Visa; "Dog Central," a deep and engaging experience for dog owners by Pedigree; "Obey," the Web’s first mobile scavenger hunt (designed with Coca Cola); and "Open for Design," a high-end design magazine curated by Infiniti. Death holds three patents for his innovative product work at Microsoft. On average, these programs were 82 percent better at driving brand favorability and 101 percent better for online ad awareness compared to traditional media. As a result, Death's team received a mantel-full of global industry awards. While at MSN, Death drove an exclusive relationship with Reveille (producers of such hits as "Ugly Betty" and "The Office") and launched the Internet’s first ad-funded sitcom "Driving School," with Volvo as the exclusive sponsor while producing the web experience for "In the Motherhood," an interactive experience for moms that was ultimately picked up by ABC. Death was named to TV Week’s "2008 Hot List: TV’s Super Achievers," which was described as "10 people who have been making things happen in the industry and who, at age 35 or younger, can be expected to continue making their presence felt in the years to come."

innovation. He is the author of The Pirate’s Dilemma:
How Youth Culture Reinvented Capitalism, on the
problems and opportunities created by the rise of piracy
and on the potential of piracy as a business model.
Creative, passionate, skilled creators exist outside the
mainstream, creating their own content, contributing
to society on their own terms. Matt redefines ‘pirate’
in these practical terms: pirates
create markets;
they signal trends;
they develop innovative ways to reach their
markets.
Matt helps firms to recognize the potential in what
pirates offer, to learn how to deal with them and
appropriate their methods.
Matt was founding editor of RWD, a startup magazine
on the new music emerging in the London pirate radio
market. The magazine soon became one of the largest
media magazines in the country with support from Prince
Charles.
He also co-founded Wedia.tv, a nonprofit that puts
