OK then, let’s see.

That’s my feeling about the return of David Brent, the character that Ricky Gervais invented for the original version of “The Office,’’ the groundbreaking series that spawned an “Office’’ franchise and that popularized the mockumentary format on TV.

Gervais’s Brent is back with a music video called “Lady Gypsy,’’ which you can easily find online on YouTube. It’s advance promotion for a full album of Brent songs and a movie called “David Brent: Life on the Road,’’ which premieres in the UK in August and will be on Netflix next year. Brent, the cringeworthy general manager at Wernam Hogg Paper Company in Slough, fancied himself a musician, and now we get to see him pursuing that dream.

Gervais was brilliant as the painfully politically incorrect, socially disastrous, desperate-to-be-liked boss. I and a zillion other TV lovers couldn’t get enough of him, after only two six-episode seasons and two Christmas specials. He was one of TV’s most memorable characters, with his delusions and self-unawareness.

But do we really want to see more, now, over a decade since the show left the air? After Brent’s brief but undistinguished return in 2013 for Comic Relief, can’t we just say goodbye? And is Gervais bringing him back because he doesn’t know where to go creatively?

I’m not going to whine here about the revival of dead shows such as “Gilmore Girls,’’ “Arrested Development,’’ and “Twin Peaks’’ again. I’ve said too many times that the entertainment world is addicted to rehashish. At this point, I’m just going to wait to see the David Brent movie, and decide if Gervais was wise, or misguided, or merely desperate.

And to be honest, the video is fairly funny. The song is a spoof of overblown folk ballads by the likes of Mumford and Sons. We see Brent in the woods recalling the day when we was 18 and lost his virginity to a woman in gypsy garb who was either a heather saleswoman or a hooker, it’s comically unclear.
