Extras - Series 1

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!

    Crept up on me

    Re-Inventing Ricky

    • 30 Sep 2009

    Ricky Gervais is back on the big screen this week with The Invention of Lying.
