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!

    but dont bother with disc 2

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

    Gervais Genius

    Well, it's not The Office, but it is Gervais, and as I say, he is prone to genius! A great comedy series and if you like Gervais and Merchant, like The Office, then you will most definitely enjoy Extras. The 'real actors' thrown in for each episode are great and add different interest to each one. Overall very entertaining!

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. His co-star Ashley Jensen, who plays airhead Maggie in Extras, will also be present during the scene.... Read more
