A lawyer 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Well I've seen 4 of the 6 now (and re-watched the first one which I thought was the weakest of what I saw). Two of them I thought were really good - the one with Kate Winslet in it was indeed very funny as was the Les Dennis one, and I heard good things about the last one (Patrick Stewart) as well. It takes a bit of getting used to does this one. Anyone else see them> Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 The Les Dennis one was funny. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I enjoyed it, and definitely for me the first one was the weakest. Who said his character isn't like Brent? http://www.rickygervais.com/extras_clips_05_02.php Link to post Share on other sites
stainedyellowteeth 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well, a friend of mine has a vid with 5 of them on. And to be honest I thought it was pretty crap. Difficult not to compare it to The Office, but nowhere near as good as that. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Overall I thought it was funny in places but I suppose it was fairly disappointing. If there is a 2nd series, I think it will get better. Link to post Share on other sites

holo 0 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by JellyBelly: You saw it in Australia holo? Yep, series one on the ABC.. i think Gervais is incredibly talented. In one of his first appearences for Michael Parkinson he came on and just spoke for 10 minutes, keeping the audience in stitches and Parky was just laughing. Parky said it was the longest it had been before Parky was able to get a word in on his own show Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I wish we had a decent BBC channel here with some entertainment on it rather than just the reallly borefest of BBC World Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yes it has been funny. Extras doesn't seem the right title anymore though Link to post Share on other sites
