Synopsis:

In the second installment of Extras, The Office co-creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant again prove dexterous with comic pathos; the punch lines are at once can't-breathe funny and freighted with resonant emotion.

Season two begins with what seems like a win: long-suffering background player Andy Millman (Gervais) has sold a sitcom to the BBC, and now stands on set as its creator and star. In true Extras fashion, however, the victory doesn't last long; though the network picked up his smart, workplace comedy, they soon turned it into a crass, wig-and-catchphrase nightmare.
