Just watching the box set of Extras - I did watch it at transmission time.
What an absolutely fabulous piece of work this is!
It manages to create stand-alone episodes involving famous actors thoroughly enjoying themselves, and also weave a narrative across three series that is full of feeling and pathos, and shows the vulnerability of being 'famous' and how to be careful what you wish for.
If I had written this, I would die a happy man - but they wrote The Office first!!!
Genius is an over-used word, but that is what Gervais and Merchant are here.
I agree with you Andy. It should've been in TV section! Only joking... It is a brilliant series. With two very talented writers. Hope you feel better soon.
I agree Extras is brilliant, I also think the ones where Gervaise lived in an old folks home were brilliant too (have forgotten what it was called). That particular show often brought tears to my eyes. Yes, genius.
