I didn't think it was anything special, although I did laugh when Stiller was one about how much his movies made and then Gervais said to him 'sorry which one are you Starsky and Hutch?' that was funny. Although I haven't really ever found Gervais that funny.

It was no where near as good as i thought it would be!

The Catherine Tate show that was on after it though was HILARIOUS! :D

I'm afraid I never found The Office very funny though, so didn't bother with Extras. Ross Kemp is in it next week, but its just not my sort of sense of humour!

I watched it and thought that it was very good especially the bit about the boots vou chers to get him a line in the movie.

An audience of almost 5 million viewers tuned in for the premiere of Extras on Thursday night, according to early ratings data.

The first episode of the Ricky Gervais sitcom drew an average of 4.62 million - a 23.6% share of the audience - to BBC Two between 9pm and 9.30pm.

The show managed to beat all other competition in its slot, ranking ninth place for the day overall. It also managed to provide a strong inheritance for returning comedy The Catherine Tate Show, which had 3.39 million (17%) at 9.30pm.

EastEnders was the day's top-rated programme with 7.79 million (42.4%), narrowly beating ITV1's Emmerdale, which had 7.42 million (42.1%). The Bill took 5.89 million (31%) for third.

Multichannel's top show was Burt Reynolds flick Smokey and the Bandit II, which averaged 484,000 (3.6%) for ITV3 between 9pm and 11pm.

The latest developments on the London bombings ensured huge audiences for BBC News 24, with a peak of 436,000 (5.4%) for the 5pm hour.

Other large performers included BBC Three documentary My Penis And I with 296,000 (2.2%) and 11th place, Sky One's Life and Death in Rome with 266,000 (1.9%) and LivingTV's The Biggest Loser, which had 222,000 (1.6%).

Bad Wolf
23-07-2005, 12:27
ross kemp and vinnie jones coming up in episode 2 i think
Abi
23-07-2005, 12:30
That should be a good one to watch then i guess
Bad Wolf
23-07-2005, 12:34
apparently andy somehow gets them to fight, and ross kemp (after bragging that the SAS wanted him to quit acting after seeing that ultimate force rubbish) is proven to be a real wuss
Abi
23-07-2005, 12:35
Oh right, sounds alright actually, might give it a go
Bad Wolf
23-07-2005, 12:38

Abi

Bad Wolf
23-07-2005, 12:43

Abi
23-07-2005, 12:44

I thought it was ok, nothing special though! It had its moments...
Abi
23-07-2005, 12:51
The write up was really good, it might have just been a duff episode. Try watching another i guess
Bad Wolf
23-07-2005, 12:57
its strange- ricky will always be known for brent, and to see him playing another idiot is hard to get used too
Abi
23-07-2005, 13:02
Is there going to be no more "Office"'s?
Bad Wolf
23-07-2005, 13:05
dont think so, that american version is wierd- you can spot the original episodes, but they are different, it doesnt quite work
Abi
23-07-2005, 13:07
The americans love it though!

Abi

I watched it, and didn't think it was much good. I prefered the Catherine Tate show that was on after
Bad Wolf
29-07-2005, 10:14

Abi

Ross Kemp was the only saving grace, he made the show and he isn't even a permanant character!
