It was however released on the series six box-set as a bonus feature, it was more than likely never intended to be aired as it features, as well as Ricky's overly humorous performance (the show is almost entirely humour free), the President saying "fuck" and the network does not allow explicit swearing. Appearing alongside Gervais in the scene is his girlfriend of 25 years, Jane Fallon.
