Film 830: Cemetery Junction

Trivia: The premise/plot of the film is said, by both Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, to be based upon the song "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen.

The original title was "The Men at the Pru", an advertising slogan for the Prudential insurance company. During the writing of the film, the Prudential allowed Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to use their archives for research. However, after reading the finished script, the company decided it didn't like how it was being portrayed and refused to allow the usage of their name. The new title comes from an actual area in the town of Reading, where the film takes place.

Cameo: Karl Pilkington:  A party goer at the salesman of the year ball.
