Extras Christmas Special! (Spoilers maybe??)

What great television this was, rates up there with The office special!

Also did anyone else spot Mr. Pilkington loitering outside the Ivy?

csmager · 27 Dec 2007 at 22:48

I actually nearly cried towards the end (probably because everyone on screen was!). Great TV.

Great show.

Love all of Ricky Gervais's stuff. Go Karl!

missed it

I watched it out of curiousity as i haven't seen it before..um..raised a smile every so often but it really isn't all that...needless to say, Ricky himself is a clever man and a brilliant entertainer.

Awww, You missed the Car Phone Warehouse dance....

It was a great show and I've not always enjoyed Extras.

However if I worked in a Carphone Warehouse I'd be a bit annoyed than my company agreed to allow them to make a mockery of my job.

Same here. Loved it, which was a real surprise as I hated The Office and this was the only bit of Extras that I've seen. Thought it was great.

Thought it was fantastic, his rant at the end was brilliant. I've always been amazed by the stuff they've managed to get the celebs to do.

During the Karl scene did anyone else her Ricky say 'Round headed ......'?

He having a laugh....? You having a laugh...

:rolleyes:

Sorry just had too.

Gaygle · 27 Dec 2007 at 23:13

I did cry at the end bit

.

Thought the episode was brilliant. Wasn't as "funny" as the other Extras ones but i don't think it was meant to be hilarious, but more serious. Top stuff still.

Sinny · 27 Dec 2007 at 23:16

Lol that was hillarious, "Wait for a minute their will be papparazi let me put my bikini on", never laughed so much in my life

Confused · 27 Dec 2007 at 23:19

Absolutely stunning episode of Extras. Some of the individual shows weren't all that great, but that special had me in stitches so many times!

I really felt sorry for Maggie during it. The bit with her and Clive Owen was absolutely brilliant! I certainly would with Ashley Jensen, even if he wouldn't

Mana · 28 Dec 2007 at 00:07

great ep

, shed a little tear during ricky's rant. also i thought john travolta was gonna be in it... he didnt make the cut or something?

daz · 28 Dec 2007 at 00:13

Not as good as The Office or The Office specials, but good nonetheless.

loltim · 28 Dec 2007 at 00:21

Yep was brilliant, mate keeps promising to lend me the DVD's but always forgets to bring it in :/

Might just buy them myself.

Margaret · 28 Dec 2007 at 00:38

That bit about not being desperate and not making a fool out of yourself then they all had to suddenly start dancing in Big Brother, LOL.

I can't believe I missed this, I was watching peep show season 3 on VirginTV onDemand and flicked it off at 10, realised it was on, cried. Hopefully it'll be on CatchUp TV onDemand!

Great show - The Guardian interview was rather amusing.

What was that snippet of music at the end? Sort of sounded like Cat Stevens?
