Extras Christmas Special 2007. Hopefully this won't take too long to get over the pond, because it was utterly brilliant. I can normally take or leave Ricky Gervais, but this was comedy genius. And it made me cry at the end.

Actually, this aired in the States on the 16th December. How does that work?

It was a co-production of HBO and the BBC. I think the whole series was.

It was amazing. He echoed my sentiments precisely (especially when it comes to reality shows and BB in particular).

Damn, I missed it. I hope it's repeated.

EJ, you could keep an eye on the BBC iPlayer. Currently it's listed as "not available to play here" which is weird as they don't list all BBC output, so why list something that isn't available? But yes, it wss good, which surprised me.

Ms. Lynnster had an FPP over on the blue which included a pointer to the episode in question. Quite an excellent episode - it's made me think that I need to watch the rest of the series.

FYI it's going to be repeated on BBC2 at 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Yeah, tune in and watch Gervais repeatedly punch the stupid fucks over at Endemol right in the bollocks.

(I heart the iPlayer)

Thanks sue. I just set Sky+ to record it in case I forget or am out.

For those who want their fix now, it's on the iPlayer for the next six days.

I saw it. I love Extras. It was funny. Pardon my ignorance, but this is it for Extras, right? *cry* Good TV is so hard to come by.

Watching it on iPlayer now. Just realised there are different jokes in the US and UK editions.
