What I mean is he is human and it seems comedy is even more criticized than music. And it can't live in some niche like music. It has to work to get funding. Extras is that moment for him. Office was almost a fluke on the surface, but extras is proving the fluke wrong. Im imagine many artists go through this. Making the shit is different than consuming the shit.

yea, but someone somewhere told him he had another winner on his hand. i mean stars were lining up to play the terrible charactere chervais was in the office
in real life i imagine the bbc is somewhat more productive in developing something than you see in extras

I know what you mean. I think me must have been stressed, even if, as big says, he looked relaxed on the outside. He actually jokes about "the difficult follow up act" (comparing himself to God having to write the new testament, I think) in one of his comedy shows.

"in real life i imagine the bbc is somewhat more productive

I don't understand this- do you mean they're more involved with this than they would be in the office (contacting big stars, more sets, etc.)?

I quite like "Extras". It's not a riot of laughs by any means, but there's enough awkward moments and subtle humour to keep me entertained.

I like it. Season 2 was smashing. (a line with Ronnie Corbett anyone?)

Season 1 was excellent. Can't wait to see the second season.

The Patrick Stewart cameo was amazingly funny. The show is not as good as The Office, but that's a hard mark to beat.
Haven't watched the second season (or "Series" to you silly Brits), but I plan on buying it as soon as I finish these Deep Space Nine dvds.

The American version of the Office sucks pretty bad, I feel like adding.

I am now being told that I need to watch the second season of The Office (US) before I can pass judgment. (The first was not so hot.)

The U.S. version of The Office is pretty good, but it's very different (and gets more and more different) from the U.K. version. It's become quite diluted now (so many episodes).
