Extras - BBC2

[MJT2003]

Anybody see it? Opinions?

I thought it was superb - the whole leg shorter than the other literally had me in tears of laughter. Ben Stiller taking the **** out of himself was also brilliant.

Very promising in my opinion.

[trionam]

I really enjoyed it too.its great because there hasnt been much on on a thursday night lately.Ben stillers freak out was so funny.

[butter1]

I also really enjoyed it.  Very good I thought.  Apparently I've heard that Ben Stiller is somewhat like that in really life?

[butter1]

sorry - meant "real life". Doh!

[toonmilo]

Thought it was excellent too!, there were some aspects of Brent involved. Particularly the whole black, white, yellow episode! Ouch!

[natalie_1982]

I wasn't sure at first, but it is Gervais all over and if you like him I think you'll really like this.  It was funny, but my fella was crying with laughter at the unfunniest part after the sister/ excuse thing.

RG: "Oh, you've got magazine"

Girl: "Yes"

RG: "Can you read it?"

It's so dry sometimes I'm not sure if it's meant to be funny or not.

[Peri]

Is it being repeated does anybody know?

[georgit79]

I thought it was brilliant! The main actress was brilliant too- has she been in anything else as she looks familiar but I'm not sure. Really great casting anyway.

[Englishbird]

She was very good.  Almost outshone our ricky at times i thought.  Unfortunately i missed the first ten minutes, as was desperately trying to get child i was looking after to sleep, of the remaining 20 mins it took about half of that to warm into it, and by the end was looking forward to the series. We love ya Ricky x x

[luckyboy]

B***** missed it.!

[Denise S.]

 

I thought it was excellent - although it was Brent wasn't it?

There's definitely shades of Brent but the great thing is that Ricky Gervais let the other characters shine and didn't hog the whole thing. Big no to the gelled back hair though.

[georgit79]

that was just for the part though so we'll let him off. that chest wig was almost making me heave though! I was so glad when he whipped it out- if that had been real I might have had to stop watching...

[wanieldalker]

I didn't think it was as good as thought it was funny in parts but others not, it didn't amuse me. LittLE bRiTaub is better

[lindapinda]

Thought it was really funny,and at times I could hardly watch cos it was so cringeworthy!
