Extras

Ricky Gervais has done a lot of impressive work over the years. He created the original British version of The Office. He then went on to create another great comedy show - Extras. The basic premise is as follows:

Extras is a British television sitcom about extras working on film sets and in theatre. The series is co-produced by the BBC and HBO, and is created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, both of whom also star in it. Extras charts the lives of Andy Millman, his friend Maggie Jacobs and Andy's substandard agent and ex-Carphone Warehouse employee Darren Lamb as Millman rises to fame.
Following are some of my favorite clips.
