Extras

The finale of ‘Extras’ was on HBO a couple of nights ago, a couple of weeks before it airs in Britain. Like the creators’ predecessor The Office, this final episode Xmas special comes on the back of two excellent seasons and brings a poignant and satisfying end to the series.

The episode is very funny. Some of its best scenes are set in a Carphone Warehouse shop where the brilliant Stephen Merchant’s character has started a new job. The plethora of guest stars are happy to ham it up and have the piss taken out of them. The best scene of the series happens when Ricky Gervais’s character, Andy Millman, reaches a moment of clarity and speaks out on the folly and fickleness of fame.

Extras

In my opinion, this is a must-see. Of course if you haven’t seen the show before, watch it from the start.
