The new Ricky Gervais thing.

Well, I think that may be a grower, usually takes a couple of episodes to get into a new series but it does seem to have the potential to be great, some really good one liners in it and Ben Stiller was really good, I think there is some kind of Hollywood kudos for actors when they do the quirky little British comedy, they want to be a part of something like the Office, Little Britain or The League of Gentlemen as it offers something that Hollywood cant do, ground breaking comedy as they have to pander to the mainstream, i.e. about 99% of americans.

That line about Starsky and Hutch was class, something like......

Gervais: Which were you, Starsy or Hutch I cant remember ?

Stiller: Was that meant to be funny.

Gervais: I dont know, you tell me, you were in it.


I suppose it follows on from Johnny Depp in the Fast Show doing 'suits you' and even Brad Pitt pulling of the 'Pikey' in ******.

The Ben Stiller rant was classic.

"It still counts! I actually did it!"

I missed the first few seconds then my mum rang up in the middle of it so I missed that too but what I did see made me laugh out loud and cringe in equal measure

After missing the middle bit I remembered we've got Sky+ so I could've paused it during the phone call, dur

I thought sky+ meant you could watch what you want when you want??? Clearly not then.

Yes, but only if you remember you've got it

LOL Sal - technology is great isn't it? I've just sat and watched it and enjoyed it. As J4CKO said - it's a grower. You can see the 'Office' type of humour running through it. It's a bit more subtle than a lot of comedy, but still very good. There were bits that made me laugh out loud - especially the bloke with different length legs in the nightclub

The guy with the orthopaedic shoe ?

Classic comment along the lines of "looks like it would fit Herman Munster"

Never liked The Office, but thought Extras was very funny tonight.

Also enjoyed the Catherine Tate thing, old woman with the broken TV was excellent

Leslie

I was not that impressed but give it time for us to get used to the characters I suppose.

Catherine Tate is good.

Is it repeated?

But you've now remembered you've got it? So surely you can watch it now? Or were sky lying? And you have to record stuff, so it's much like just buying a video recorder, anyone that bought sky+ got bent over and fuc.....

Patt@firstime

Thought it was very funny, especially the Ben Stiller rant at the end

Wobbly

Complete pants and not funny......Time to get The Office DVD's out again
