I’ve been watching episodes of Extras, Ricky Gervais’s comedy in which he plays an extra and guest stars appear as themselves (well, hopefully they are nicer in person). It has a great theme song, Tea for the Tillerman, which comes on at the end of the clip, but it’s really a funny look into the work lives of extras.

I love that show. It’s too funny. Have you seen the David Bowie episode yet?

I think that’s coming up. I just finished Season 1. My favorite so far was Ben Stiller.

Oh, the episode with Kate Winslet is so funny. This show hurts my daughter to watch, the behavior is so bad she just wants to gag them and make them sit in the corner until they can behave properly.

The Kate Winslet episode is definitely funny. What I’m particularly enjoying is how worklife seems to evolve (he gets a series) rather than how it moves in The Office, in which really nothing seems to change. (Though I love The Office).
