Description
Contains series one and two of the comedy show EXTRAS, as well as the EXTRAS special. In series one, Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) is an actor but his agent cannot get him an acting job. Instead he is just an extra in films, ever hopeful that one day he will actually get some lines. Series two of EXTRAS finds extra Andy Millman commissioned by the BBC to create and star in the sitcom 'When The Whistle Blows'. However, Andy's initial happiness with his achievement is soon quelled when he finds he has to make a lowest common denominator show in order to appeal to the broadest possible audience.
The two series of the deadpan comedy come to a close in this sensational finale. At this point, Ricky Gervais's lowly extra, Andy Millman, has finally made some headway in the entertainment industry. Millman's sitcom, WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS, has been commissioned and is an outright hit. Unfortunately its three series of predictable plotlines and critical beatings have begun to weigh on its creator. In this climax to the celebrity-studded series, Andy Millman has to make the tough decision on whether to give up all he's worked for in a bid for respectability.

Editorial reviews
[Series 1]...A televisual comedy masterclass
The Observer  (10/06/2008)

[EXTRAS Special]...The Brits certainly have a luxury in their freedom to craft little gems such as this that need only generate a dozen or so installments, but that hardly diminishes what Gervais and Merchant have accomplished by again living up to the elements in this project's title: It's extra, it's a finale and it is, indeed, special

Extras: The Complete Boxset (5 Discs)

Review

Extras is the spiritual successor to The Office, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

Series 1: Ricky plays Andy Millman who, having given up his day job to be an actor, finds he just can't land the big parts. In fact, he rarely gets a speaking role so spends most of his days stuck in a green room with other extras, envying the A-list stars, with his fellow actor, Maggie Jacobs (Ashley Jensen).

Each episode Extras has a different setting and cameo appearances from guest artists including: Samuel L Jackson, Kate Winslet, Ben Stiller, Ross Kemp, Vinnie Jones and Les Dennis!

Series 2: The second series sees Andy (Gervais) experience the highs he has longed for with his newly written sitcom, 'When The Whistle Blows'. However, while the show achieves high ratings, Andy's creative integrity is under threat from the catchphrase-riddled, mainstream appeal of it all. The answer; artistic credibility and celebrity friends, which leaves poor Maggie out in the cold, now working as a background artist on Andy's breakthrough venture.

As before, a slew of high-profile celebrities pop up for some hilarious cameos, including Sir Ian McKellen, Robert De Niro and Orlando Bloom amongst others, all willing and able to humiliate themselves!

The Special: Andy has achieved a degree of fame but acclaim and respect are proving elusive. Maggie, meanwhile, is still a struggling extra and finds Andy's growing discontentment hard to fathom.
