| ==Plot==
| |
| ''This Side of the Truth'' is set in a contemporary world where "there's no such thing as lying, evolution meant we don't lie and I'm the first person who realises I can lie so I'm superman," says Gervais<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5t9pKLJJZw ''This Morning'' ITV1 -13 November 2007]</ref>. In another interview Gervais said, "My character works in the film industry, where actors are really readers who tell completely factual stories. My character's a loser who's about to lose his job, and who's lumbering through the 1300s. All he's got to work with is the Black Death. But once he lies and pretends he's found lost stories, he becomes the greatest storyteller in the world."<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117971879.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 Variety.com - 12 September 2007]</ref>
