Extras: Complete Series (DVD)

The first season of EXTRAS finds British funnyman Ricky Gervais playing Andy Millman, a lowly extra who spends most of his life whiling away the hours on film and TV sets as he awaits a mercifully brief appearance in a new production. Millman's friend Maggie (Ashley Jensen) is also an extra, and finds herself in a similar predicament. In most of the episodes, Millman sidles up to the biggest celebrity on the set in a desperate attempt to get himself out of The Extras business, but his lack of tact and his bad luck usually leave him right back where he started. Star Ricky Gervais, Ashley Jensen, Stephen Merchant, Samuel L. Jackson, Les Dennis, Ben Stiller, Ross Kemp, Special Features: Full frame format. Year of Release: 2007.
