yeah she was great... that scene where the bf catches her doing the dirty shit was funny as hell
Indeed. That whole bit was great.
 
Gervais is amazing. It's not the akwardness and the Costello/David mannerisms that get me the most, it's the damn way he throws the word "yea?" into his dialouge. Gets me every single time. Check out his standup Animals if you haven't.
 
Priest: Who was your Confirmation saint?
Andy: St. Bernard

LOL!!!!


Priest: Who was your priest.
Andy: Father Michael O Flatley

Extras is the shit. The patrick stewart appearance is the best..

"I've seen everything.. I've seen it all..."
 
YES! This is the show that spawned pervert Picard with the dude from the Office, isn't it?
What's the basic premise of the show? I don't have HBO :(
 
For those that missed it, this is the original thread where people were talking about it.

It was a pretty good series and it got a lot better as it progressed, but I have no idea how you guys in the US will find some of the better ones that are based around minor UK TV celebrities (the Les Dennis one in particular).

Basically it's about a guy (and his friend) who works as an extra and tries to be a real actor. Then he meets these weirdo celebrities (like the pervert Picard) and hilarity ensues.

Edit: like this:

Don't listen if you want see it on TV first.

'look at her lough. its beautiful.'

and the guy says 'she is not retarded u know'

Tweaked.
 
Finally watched this last night on tivo and it cut off the last few minutes where Kate Winslet was asking about the girl with CP. Can someone tell me what happened next?

It's great when the priest says "so it was father michael flatley was it, is he real?"
andy "Michael O flatley"
Priest"was he?"
andy "no...."

god the cerebal palsy bit was so inappropriate and funny. the two best episodes are with winslet and picard guest stars. hope there is a second season.

tortfeasor she says something along the lines of
thats another way to win an oscar you know, play a mental, think about it, daniel day lewis in my left foot, rainman, (and some others) all played mentals. then she sips her drink and walks off. While andy looks shocked. runs on from her doing her rant about winning an oscar if you do a war movie, etc.

the bit where andy almost claps when some girl at the church group is giving a testimony while wearing his best dinner suit is great as well :lol
 
I've downloaded 6 episodes- watched 4 of them- (I did the same with The Office, and then bought both seasons on DVD, which I'm definitely doing with Extras since it's just as fucking funny). I wish they aired them in Canada so I didn't have to get them this way.

Have they only aired 6 episodes so far (is this going to be similar to the Office in which there are only going to be 13 or so episodes total)?
 
couple more questions:

any release date for the season 1 dvd?

any idea how long it took the NA version of The Office to initially get released here compared to in England?
 
Extras DVD is available in the UK on 31st October. I cant find a NA release date

Dont know anything about The American Office, sorry, season 1 has aired over here, dont think it took off.

btw, heres a storyboard image from Rickys upcoming Simpsons Episode

No, I mean what was the time difference between the UK Office getting released in the UK and the UK Office getting released in NA?
 
Well the UK Office aired from Jul 2001 to November 2002

(+2 christmas Specials in 2003)


No idea how that compares to the US but i imagine theres a fair gap in between because it came out of nowhere. Extras started airing on 22nd September on HBO (whatever that is) according to www.rickygervais.co.uk .

end of first season was the 6th one. episode 6 was possibly the best of the season as well (rivalled by winslets guest star episode)

so yeah it will be like the office.

for anyone that doesn't know, andys agent is stephen merchant, he was the other writer that co wrote the office as well and guest stared in the 11th or 12th episode as the googly eyed red nose guy.
 
I love the way he can act like such a smarmy dickhead so casually. Just little things like,
"Bye nerd!" *raises hand*

and "That sound a bit rude doesn't it!"
"Not really."
