Full review
Ricky Gervais' second sitcom, starring himself, as Andy Millman, Stephen Merchant as Darren Lamb - Andy's agent, and Ashley Jensen as Maggie Jacobs - Andy's best friend. Maggie and Andy are extras in various films and television shows who are desparate to find a big role in a film. Andy has great ambition - and the series reveals his struggle in finding one. It shows the diffiiicult and depressed lives some extras have, whilst being a hilarious comedy at the same time. Special guests feature in each episode, including Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Stiller. Episodes are 30 minutes long, six in the series. Extra features provide an extra laugh; including a 'making of' and Stephen Merchant's video diary. Definitely wwworth buying both for the comedy and the story line.
