Fans of BBC sitcom The Office took to social networks to get David Brent to Maidenhead.
Comedian Ricky Gervais recently resurrected the character for an online series, Learn Guitar with David Brent, which has been viewed more than 18 million times.
The latest instalment, released yesterday, sees the 'chilled back entertainer' pay homage to his home town Slough.
The former boss at the trading estate office of Wernham Hogg describes the town as his "favourite place in the world"
Gervais then took to Twitter to ask his millions of followers for suggestions of where Brent could perform an 'unplugged' set.
If it were to happen.. What's the best little theatre in your town for David Brent to do an unplugged set of his songs followed by & Q & A?
