About this product
Product Information
The first season of EXTRAS finds British funnyman Ricky Gervais playing Andy Millman, a lowly extra who spends most of his life whiling away the hours on film and TV sets as he awaits a mercifully brief appearance in a new production. Millman's friend Maggie (Ashley Jensen) is also an extra, and finds herself in a similar predicament. In most of the episodes, Millman sidles up to the biggest celebrity on the set in a desperate attempt to get himself out of the extras business, but his lack of tact and his bad luck usually leave him right back where he started. Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Stiller, Kate Winslet, and a number of British TV celebrities such as Les Dennis and Ross Kemp all feature in the first season of the show.In the second season of EXTRAS, Millman's sitcom, "When the Whistle Blows," has been commissioned. But Gervais's character soon discovers that fame brings a whole new set of problems into his life, especially when the BBC starts tinkering with his ideas. The formula of the first season is adhered to once again, and the core cast of Gervais, Ashley Jensen, and Stephen Merchant is supplemented by David Bowie, Daniel Radcliffe, Chris Martin from Colplay, Ian McKellan, Robert De Niro, and many others.Product Identifiers

Gervais will not disappoint
Ricky Gervais is a comedic genius and Extras does not disappoint. A unique plot as always the case, with Gervais playing the role of a wannabe actor, who is destined to get the most pathetic and inconsequential roles, as he desperately engages with his incompetent, unproductive agent to find him worthy rolesVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Dry UK comedy series
I have always been a fan of some UK comedies, and others I wonder why they are classified as comedies. This series falls in the latter-half along with "waiting for god", "as time goes by" & "carry on laughing"Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent quality DVDs. It takes a bit of getting used to a TV comedy without a laugh track, but the laughs come naturally. Ashley Jensen is especially funny playing the clueless best friend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
