Extras - Stephen Merchant
Sep 22nd, 2006 at 12:27pm
 
Ricky Gervais is supposed to be the lead in this new series.

But is it just me, or does anyone else think that Stephen Merchant is the funniest thing in the series so far and is the star of the new series to date (the first two episodes)?

PS Stephen Merchant should have his own series.

Ricky Gervais is a big fan of Larry David's 'Curb your enthusiasm' and you can really see a lot of it in Extras, but it's not as good. They seem to have picked up on the whole 'real-life' celebrity thing and some taboo subjects thrown in as well. If you've never seen it, I'd advise you to take a look. I agree that Steven Merchant is good in the show but it is let down by this.

I watched a repeat of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace on Channel 4 last night. Stephen Merchant was the chef in the episode last night. I don't think i would have recognised him when it was first broadcast.
It looks like a character from Darkplace is going to be in a new show - Man to Man with Dean Learner, or something like that.
Went off at a tangent there!

Actually i like the new series of Extras.
