series 1

meet andy millian(ricky gervais), a very desperate man, hes been an actor for 5 years yet has never actually acted before.
this is all due to his totally usless agent (stephen merchant), who only manages to get andy usless parts as an extra around film sets.
andys one and only friend in the buisness is another extra Maggie (Ashley Jenson).
extras is an amazingly funny comedy from ricky gervais and stephen merchant and stars them both.
and every episode takes place on a totally different film set and features apperacnces from stars like, Ben Stiller, Samuel L Jackson, Ross Kemp, Kate Winslet, Les Dennis and Patrick Stewart.

series 2

as the next series arrives of extras, andy millian (ricky gervais), still a desperate man, may not have an acting career, however he now has a script for a new comedy and loads of ambition. however his useless agent (stephen merchant) is still holding him back from his dreams and only getting him extra work.
this second series of the award winning comedt, is just as funny as the first and featuring guest appearences form stars like, Orlando Bloom, David Bowie, Sir Ian Mckellen, Daniel Radcliffe, Chris Martin, Robert Lindsay, Robert De Niro and of course Barry from Eastenders.
it is definatly a really find.
