# really?
i thought extras was one of the most original, touching and at times squirmingly uncomfortable comedies of recenttimes,
a real classic

# I liked the first series
found the second to be laboured beyond belief, repetetive, clinging to the guests acting against type gag and finally losing all direction last night by forgetting the "failed Andy" storyline and replacing it with suddenly successful, "ooh he forgot his friends, ooh he remembered them" script from about 5 episodes of Friends, Frasier and probably Will and Grace (wouldn't know, haven't watched the last one).

If Robert De Niro hadn't been in it last night I would have written to the BBC and demanded my money back.

# well, i suppose you're entitled to that opinion
but i felt it was saved from that by having the girl feel really guilty and totally ruin the moment for him

also, it was nice for him to finally get some joy out of his celebrity after the truly awful time he'd had up to then, at times during the series i felt really awful for the character despite wetting my pants at his predicament
