These are great. If you liked The Office you'll love these, and the cameos from the stars are fabulous.

Improves with a second look. - Extras: Series 1 review by CP Customer
I wasn't that impressed with 'Extras' when it was first shown on BBC2, but with a second viewing on DVD it improves a lot. It relies a little too much on guest star cameo's with Gervais acting the straight guy to the mad characters that surround him, but this improves in series two and by the final 'Extras: Christmas special' it really becomes a funny and often quite touching show.
