Extras - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

...and Xmas Special. I've done Extras series 1. I've dried up on Gervais/Merchant sitcoms…that is until last Monday, when the 'critically acclaimed' second series of Extras arrived in our shop windows. Any good though? You bet! Series one saw Gervais manage to get the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Stiller, Patrick Stewart, Kate Winslet and of course Les Dennis to appear in a comedy about an television extra, Andy Millman (played by Gervais) who's ...
...Thankfully the extras, on the Extras DVD, are plentiful. As with all Gervais' stuff, there's a 'making of' style documentary which includes interviews with a number of the big stars that appear. Of course outtakes are there, a short programme entitled "The Art Of Corpsing" which is a development from the outtakes where they discuss the problem of when they start laughing, and just can't stop.

Review of Extras - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)
