After what I saw as a brilliant episode last week, albeit a slight dip, tonights was right up there with the second and third. My ratings so far: Episode 1 - 8/10 Episode 2 - 10/10 Episode 3 - 10/10 Episode 4 - 9/10 Episode 5 - 10/10 |

Bowie episode was great. Chris Martin one was pretty poor I thought. I mean, Bowie did a new song, Martin did one of his old ones. Not seen 5 but just felt I had to chip in. |

extras is brilliant. it annoys me that mitchell & webb is on after because its anti climatic and i so wanted that to be as good as extras. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its was hilarious. this show has got a lot better in the second series and ill be dissapointed if millman doesnt just flip at some point in the future. he looks like he's heading towards a nervous breakdown. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think mitchell and webb lost its momentum so quickly but then i generally think sketch shows are shit. fuck the fast show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I said exactly the same thing to my brother tonight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? i thought the fast show was one of the few sketch shows i found consistently funny. but i was considerably younger then. penexpers, i'm glad you agree haha. that mock the week is on after tho does compensate somewhat. russel howard, dara o'brien and frankie doyle are funny as fuck. and that bald andy dude is pretty good too. |

I :heart: British comedy |

I'm always too 'laughed out' to watch Mock the Week |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
series 2 is brilliant. not a M & W look fan but laughed a bit at this week's one, the anne robinson jab was good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is hilarious. Mitchell & Webb afterwards is a great combo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i fucking love extras, but haven't seen ep 5 yet. season 2 is superb so far. i actually like mitchell & webb too, it's not SUPER DUPER COMEDY but it's decent enough. episode 2 is my fave so far. |
||||||||

Im with dan_belch. The Chris Martin episode was generally shit. The idea was pretty funny but the whole episode was just too outlandish, for want of a better word. Last nights was good. Really liked it. |
||||||||

I had thought that Chris Martin was parodying Coldplay's music with that song, and then someone informed it actually WAS a Coldplay song. Thought episode V was great, Extras really is a fantastic show, and has developed so marvelously over the two seasons... hope it continues into a third otherwise this Thursday's episode'll be the last, and THAT will be a bummer. |

the scene were andy chats up that bird and opens the bottle of sparkling water was gut wrenchingly funny |
||||||||
|

Yeah it was, I laughed like a madman, |

My ratings vary slightly (+ or - 2) per episode but are generally concurrent with yours. Overall average for series so far - 7.8. An increase of 0.6 on the first series. Compared to The office, however, it is -1.1. Let's see how the last episode goes and do these stats again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My The Office stats are 10/10 for each episode, thats 14 10s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The last two episodes of the office were a horrible compromise in artistic vision. To turn David Brent into some lovable fool instead of the horrible mysoginstic racist fuckwit that he was runied the series in my eyes to a certain extent. It's only with the passage of time that I can again recognise how great the series really was. Except the last two episodes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the whole point of Brent, and of Andy Millman, is that they're not horrible...fuckwits, but weak and flawed characters who, if they would only stand up for themselves, would not have half the problems that they do... which is why The Office reached a real emotional peek when Brent finally stood up to his boss and his 'friend' (forgot their names!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i loved the way the office wound up... extras isn't nearly as good, and it relies too much on pure humiliation factor, but it's definitely got some gold moments, and I hope it gets a third series. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brent was a fucking cunt. The way he treated that disabled girl. The way he treated all women. The way he treated black people. The typical type of middle management racist that i have encountered in my work. His behaviour on red nose day. HE WAS A FUCKER. The last two episodes tried to rewrite his character. GET YER FACTS STRAIGHT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Andy Milman is not a dislikable charcter. He is an everyman. Like Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm. A bit too much like him if you ask my opinion. But still, Extras is still a good show. I love When the Whistle Blows. I would like to see that commisioned on ITV. I have seen worst sitcoms shown before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It becomes less and less belivable as it goes on, I find myself enjoying more the Steve Merchant character, his flushing the turd turn was genius. But otherwise it's becoming more SitCom and expecting more suspension of belief in order to be funny, sadly. |
||||||||
|

I saw one episode of the firrst serries and neverr botherred with it again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well that's your view of it, Mr Aggressively Right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was funny, yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seeing as they've said it's the last series I'm assuming everything will right itself with Andy Millman this episode. Not sure where they could go from here anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I desperately hope he tops himself. Would be the perfect powerful ending. It's probably right to end it here. I just hope he keeps up the pace, I hope his output doesn't slow down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suspect he'll end up back where he started as clearly he isn't as good as the professionals as he thinks he is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He'll be knobbing that woman too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know why they have to run it into the ground so soon, there could easily be another series if they hadnt made this one go the way it has |

Gervais is against strength in numbers. He cut the podcasting short (although he did a lot of shows with Pilk and Merchant on XFM), The Office and now Extras. He's quality over quantity to the extreme. |

My mouth is frothing in anticipation for tonights last ever episode (probably). This is from Radio Times: 6/6 Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) is on the way up. He's Jonathan Ross's new best friend - lots of sunbathing and water fights at the presenter's country home - and there's the chance of a part in a film with a huge Hollywood star. Andy is also ready to fire his useless agent Darren Lamb (Stephen Merchant), who he catches in an embarrassing predicament. But first, Andy has to undergo the ordeal of visiting a seriously ill child in hospital at the behest of a pushy and unpleasant mother. Cue a brilliant, toe-curling scene involving guest star Robert Lindsay as a monstrously annoying show-off version of himself: "One of Britain's best-loved actors, and I can sing, I can dance and I've won awards on Broadway." Hide behind your fingers as Lindsay, an unwanted hospital visitor, launches into a songand- dance routine before railing at the young patient and his mum for not remembering Citizen Smith: "The most popular comedy of the 1970s." It's the last episode, possibly ever, of Extras, and it's a humdinger, perfectly rounded off with an appearance from possibly the biggest surprise guest of them all... |

The wanking scene had me in stitches. 9/10 |

A friend of mine was in episode 4 :D |

hahah, fantastic last episode. top marks. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

It's been a great series, can't wait for the next lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You'll have a VERY long wait. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Minimun 5 minutes maximum 20 years |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sure they stated this was the last series they'd do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They haven't said that Extras is over, but they have said there are other things they would rather do. Ricky Gervais in particular has said they're interested in producing a US-style drama series. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That last espisode was shit, I watched it before Mrs Belch did, didn't say anything, let her watch it, and she said the same. Gervais has gone the route of Richard Curtis, oh posh people swearing or talking about sex, oooh, naughty! The horrible laboured unfunny "crude" joke that goes on too long and the only toe curling is at the thought that an adult would write such bollocks, and then get a team of people with a budget of thousands together to film it. And then the little kiss off at the end about "critics" as if to preempt criticism.... it was shit, you don't have to be qualified in celebrity journalism to realise that. For a comedy programme, it was embarassingly unfunny. |
||||||||
|

I enjoyed all of the episodes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I laughed my ass off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm glad I watched it on my own and not with you going hu-hurrr constantly like Bernard Breslaw for 25 minutes, "Look Sid, he's wanking! Hu-Hurr!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm glad and watched it on my own and not with you sat there in the corner like a miserable fuck :D |

Here are the extras of episode 5: 6-5. The Couch - Inside Look (2:58) includes interviews with Reni Santoni (Poppie), Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Marc Hirschfeld. They talk about how this episode dealt with aborton. Also, Poppie pees on the couch in this one. Deleted Scenes (3 Scenes - 3:25) - Jerry and George try out couches. Kramer meets Poppie and gives him the wine and 5 Alarm Chili that Jerry and Elaine got for him. Kramer yells at Jerry and Elaine about the gifts. |
