Cheap Extras

[Jeff]

Extras series 1 and 2, 4 DVD box set is just £7.99 at Zavvi, with free delivery. RRP is £27.99.


Series One:
Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) is a desperate man. He's been an actor for five years but thanks to his useless agent (Stephen Merchant), he's never done any acting.
Instead he's just a lowly film extra, walking around in the background while the stars do their lines. Andy's only friend in the world is Maggie (Ashley Jenson), a fellow extra and a hopeless romantic. While Maggie pursues the man of her dreams, Andy decides he'll do whatever it takes to get himself noticed.

Series Two:
After getting his comedy script accepted by the BBC, things are looking up for Andy. However, Andy's dreams of becoming a respected auteur are roundly demolished and he must claw back what little self-respect he can.
The second series of the award winning Extras is as edgy, uncomfortable, daring and funny as no other comedy.

Extras Series One:
The Difficult Second Album - behind the scenes of Extras.
Finding Leo - featurette.
Taping Nigel - documentary.
Outtakes.
Deleted Scenes.

Extras Series Two:

Talking of Extras has anyone ever been an extra?

Me and my wife did so about eleven/twelve years ago but we never did get paid anything. So we certainly were cheap extras .We were also told we would get a free meal. This eventually consisted of a cold curry and rice which as part of the film we had to pretend to eat and talk as the 2 main characters who had gone for an indian were talking and us 2 and the other extras were there just as background.

We didn't eat much or hardly any as my wife hates curry anyway and I didn't fancy getting food poisoning
