Has anyone been watching this on BBC2? It is a new comedy Ricky Gervais as he plays a loser actor who only gets extra roles. It is quite funny.

I saw a write-up for it in a magazine. Supposedly quite good. That's the show with Kate Winslet, right?

They have very big name guest stars some weeks. Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson and the like. Not sure about Les Dennis though, you have to wonder how close to the truth that was. My personal favourite was Ross Kemp though, who did a great job sending himself up.

The Esmer apologizes, and would like to add something worthwhile for once, as he now sees he would like very much to see this show - www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/extras/clips/ - , but it isn't on his cable channels....snifff :cry: ....will have to see if I can find the torrents out there, I guess....

I only saw episodes 1, 2 and 6 of this. 1 didn't bowl me over, and if it hadn't been Gervais, I doubt I'd have given it another chance.

But it was, I did, and I thought that the second episode was hilarious. Then I went on holiday, and got back in time to see the last episode, which was pretty good... but not amazing.
