Ricky Gervais - Extras

[Evil Chris]

Finally, Extras season 1 was released on DVD here and I picked it up over the weekend. I just watched the first episode with Kate Winslet.

It was much funnier than I expected. I'm anxious to watch more, but I'm not going to watch them all in one day. I won't have any left to look forward to.

Any other Ricky Gervais fans knockin about? :)

a lot of it is British 'in' jokes with the guest stars being from BBC tv shows and stuff but it is funny.

Chris, I like Ricky as well. Extras is pretty good too, but it doesn't quite measure up to the wild popularity he had with The Office.

Did you check out his podcasts?

[Evil Chris]

Actually yes I have all the podcasts. They're really funny.
However I understand that his comedy isn't for everyone. It's not typical Brit humour either. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant do have their own styles but they mesh well.
