Hilarious - laugh out loud and fantastic! Really needed a good laugh and this more than provided it. It is such unassuming, quiet comedy, no silly pratfalls or toilet humour - just good old-fashioned... Read more

I have to say this was a cringably wonderful series. It is rare for me to be so embarrassed watching a film / pro gramme, but this did it for me (in a good way!). It is well cast and acted, with the... Read more

It's nice to see that Ricky Gervais can be someone other than David Brent. In The Extras although he has scenes where he is as socially inept as Brent, he also has some great speeches and social commentaries... Read more
.Even funnier than the episodes though, is the outtakes and 'extras' - Finding Leo is hilarious. Can't wait to see Season Two.
