Awesome show. Seems like it's been a little under the radar for a while which I just don't understand because the show is hilarious.

The latest episode I saw, the one with Ian McKellan.. there was a bit in that epsisode that I nearly died laughing at. Brilliant show.

Which bit? The botched chat up?

Stephen Merchant + whisk = WINNER

Holy crap this is funny. I had never heard of this show. I'm grinding through Season 2 on HBO on demand. Hopefully, they'll put Season 1 back up at some point.

Maybe I don't get British comedy, but I didn't enjoy the show. Kill me now! Then again, I d'led the British version of the Office and didn't like it much either.

EYEWHITES · #27 02-13-2007, 03:05 PM

season 2 started out great....by the 5th episode i was wanting it to be funnier, after ep6 i was hoping they would not make a season 3

this show has ran its course, unless they can remake the 1st season again

spoiler idea in white<font color="white"> </font> maybe he can lose the job on the sitcom and have to go back to being an extra, while being semi famous

<font color="black"> </font> really not looking foward to season 3 tho. even tho its still better than most

From the Wiki entry on Extras:
Gervais has stated that he can't see himself doing a third series, as he and Merchant have this "thing" about doing only two series (like The Office). However, after the second series had finished, he was quoted in the Mirror as saying that there was "some mileage in it" and suggesting there could be a third series, suggesting in a recent interview with The Onion that it could take the form of a Christmas special, as with The Office.

Sounds good to me, a Christmas special or two would seem an ideal way to wrap the show up.

It's ok.

The majority of Season 1 is meh, but the Kate Winslet ep is sublime and up there with anything Gervais has ever written.

Season 2 it becomes 5x as wacky and exaggerrated. It's funnier but probably not as good as a show, if that makes any sense. As everyone else stated, the Bowie scene is brilliant.

I don't really like Orlando Bloom, but I thought his scenes in ep2.01 were awesome.
