The two co-directed a feature-length feature film, turning their attention back to England , where they lived , Cemetery Junction, near Reading in Summershire , where Gervais grew up in the 1970s. It witnesses the process of two young people in their twenties building social relationships in society. Gervais says it's a comedy that's somewhere between "The Office Story" and "Mad Men."

"Confidence can be Expressed in many ways, ambition is a strong sense of finding out that there are many things in the world that you like and are willing to try. For many people, they keep getting hammered until they are embarrassed to discover that their ideas may be wrong "Ambition is the link that connects us to our work, we don't fight for political differences with high spirits, and of course we can't cheer up from drug use in brothels, which is often the link that connects us. kind of the upper-class or lower-middle-class world we come from.”
"Cemetery Junction" is a typical The British Isles-style film, it is enlightening in British humor. In the film, one of the three friends has a dream of his own and is eager to change this ordinary life. As a blue-collar worker, he has a sense of crisis and an ambition to stand out in his seemingly carefree life. And whether the reality is good or bad, whether his dream is a kind of ambition or a kind of conceit, it is this film that combines his two friends who are happy in the current situation of life, trying to explore together. In short, as a nostalgic British comedy with the real life of the main creator, it can bring you joy, and at the same time show us the growth and maturity of several ordinary British people.
