Ally 0 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Got it on video, just about to watch it now. Looking forward to it, Series 1 is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Extras was excellent as ever, with some great stuff from "Cheggers" who did a great job! Enjoyed Mitchell and Webb as well, some really good stuff in there, i like Mock the week too, and as somebody said Frankie Boyle is always good value on that. Throw in Dragon's Den which is always entertaining and its an unusually good nights TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 For anyone that missed it, the BBC website has the full show to watch online... http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/?id=extras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sicklee Sausage Roll 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Mock the week was cringeworthy. Even Dennis and Boyle looked embarrassed to be there. Yashere managed to be more lamentable than the excitable child they had inexplicably allowed on set. At least when Clive Anderson realised he had nowt to say, he just kept his mouth shut. Mitchell and Webb either hit the bullseye or missed the board completely. Edited September 16, 2006 by Sicklee Sausage Roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47750 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Watched this last night. It was quality. Cheggers was class - the bit about "queers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22694 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Watched this last night. It was quality. Cheggers was class - the bit about "queers". Oddly enough, I had that exact same conversation with a colleague once (he was in the Cheggars role - honest). I thought it was good without reaching the brilliance of the Les Dennis one last year.

David Kelly 1310 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I thought the Cheggas bit sounded like it could have come straight from big Keith on the Office but I agree it was class.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 David Bowie's song was a comedy scene of legendary proportion. I found breathing difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 90 minutes of cracking TV.... Dragon's Den and Extras.....BBC2 pwn3d tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Not a patch on the first one i thought apart from Bowie's song. Once again though Merchant and Barry are proving to be the star's of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie 0 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Not a patch on the first one i thought apart from Bowie's song. Once again though Merchant and Barry are proving to be the star's of the show. I thought it was much better than the first. Merchant's scenes are always the best though. The Wind in the Willows bit was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22694 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 David Bowie's song was a comedy scene of legendary proportion. I found breathing difficult. As you say that scene will go down inhistory along with such classics as the Fawlty German sketch. The ultimate in humiliation - David Bowie writing and performing a song about what a useless twat you are, and the rest of the bar joining in!

The Mighty Hog 539 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Both Extras and Mitchell & Webb were better than last weeks offerings. Cracking night for TV: Mythbusters, Dragons Den, Extras, Mitchell & Webb and finish it off with The Sopranos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking night for TV: Mythbusters, Dragons Den, Extras, Mitchell & Webb and finish it off with The Sopranos. Didn't think much of Mitchell and Webb to be honest. I usually wet meself laughing at them pair but didn't find that all that funny. Cryed at mock the week though, Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne and Frankie Boyle were on great form.

David Kelly 1310 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Only seen the second half of extras but I agree the Bowie song was classic (I was actually humming it for the rest of the night!). The funniest thing I thought though is the fact that on the credits they list the character name as Barry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Cat Stevens singing on the credits btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
