"Extras"

I can't find the other thread, so here's a new one.

"He wont be around for long

What, is it aids?"

"Do funny, Barry

Oi Pat, get of my foot"

Ahaha, I love this show. I really wish I'd seen the Les Dennis one.

I saw a couple of reasonably funny episodes on Sky 1 the other day that I'd never seen before. Certainly better than the majority of new episodes I've watched.

One where Homer was smashing pies in everyone's faces and another....that I can't even remember.

God bless Terrestrial TV.

Is that the one where Bart goes an lives in some apartment building and finds Tony Hawk and people in the top?

If so that episode sucked. Big time.

It seems to be a fairly widespread structure across decent British comedy.

Fawlty Towers was two series of six.

I think Extras was only six episodes long because it was a pilot series.

The BBC wasn't sure on its success after The Office etc

Nah

Most things are six episodes.
