Extras is the hotly-anticipated new comedy series from the creators of 'The Office' - Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Ricky plays Andy Millman who, having given up his day job to be an actor, finds he just can't land the big parts. In fact, he rarely gets a speaking role so spends most of his days stuck in a green room with other extras, envying the A-list stars, with his fellow actor, Maggie Jacobs (Ashley Jensen). Each week 'Extras' has a different setting and cameo appearances from guest artists including Samuel L Jackson, Kate Winslet, Ben Stiller, Ross Kemp, Vinnie Jones and Les Dennis!

    Very Very Funny, especially the cringe worthy sketches where they really put their foot in it.

    Don't waste your time

    The DVD contains just a set of out-takes, which are not funny if you have already seen the first DVD. Dont waste your time in ordering this unless you are a hard core fan, and want to sit through six repeats of the same scene, or have a lot of spare time on your hands!

The Office creator will be putting a temporary hold on gong proceedings to assume his Extras persona of Andy, a failed actor, and no doubt add to the hilarity of the night.
