Gervais planning Extras one-off
Comedian Ricky Gervais has admitted he is planning a one-hour special of his hit TV comedy Extras.
BBC News, 18th November 2008Extras attacked celebrity - with a little help from George Michael, David Tennant et al
There is a lot to be said for corsets. This extra-special episode of Extras (BBC1) did go on a bit. Quite a lot. Virtually indefinitely. Like joy it was unconfined but, oddly, not at all joyful.
