Series two of EXTRAS finds former television and film extra Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) commissioned by the BBC to create and star in the sitcom 'When The Whistle Blows'. However,...
more...Andy's initial happiness with his achievement is soon quelled when he finds he has to make a lowest common denominator show in order to appeal to the broadest possible audience. Andy's sitcom has been transformed from a show that was in many ways like Gervais' groundbreaking previous show THE OFFICE into a catchphrase-driven show that's filmed in front of a studio audience. Additionally, he has been told that he has to wear large glasses and a curly perm wig. The second series of EXTRAS sees Millman attempting to adjust to fame and life in the public eye and the compromises that come with. Guest stars include Robert De Niro, Orlando Bloom, David Bowie, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Jonathan Ross, Sir Ian McKellen, and Daniel Radcliffe.

I love this programme. Some of it is so cringe worthy that you almost cant watch it but thats what makes it so funny. I love how they have someone famous in every episode and they all seem to poke fun rather than be out to make themselves look good. I think ricky and his co stars and consistently funny throughout both series but the second series definately shows the growth of the programme. I can watch each episode over and over again and still laugh but also notice things that i may have missed before. Its definately worth owning, you can watch it no matter what mood you're in and i would say its great for anyone....with a sense of humour. i dont know anyone that hasnt found him or the programme funny!
