I've been overloading on Ricky Gervais these last few weeks. Between his hilarious podcasts (with the secret weapon that is the genius Karl Pilkington), the American version of 'the office' which really starts to grow on you, when you get used to the new faces and of course the latest series of extras.
Extras is just brilliantly funny, I love the way the writing manages to make some really cutting jokes but it wraps them up so well that they don't jar you. It's the subtle way that the characters and often celebrities make the comments it's hard to find them offensive even though they are having a pop at homosexuals or the BBC. Usually you'd be hung for that sort of stuff.
Orlando Bloom was good with a great comedy portrayal of himself as a vein hollywood star obsessed with his looks and a bitter hatred for Johnny Depp.
The whole cast is excellent and I love 'Barry' from Eastenders.
I wish they would give Karl a part in the show that would be sweet.
