I was introduced to the BBC show Extra's almost one year ago. It is the most watched DVD in my collection. For those of you who have seen Gervais either in his stand up or his show 'The Office' (BBC), will already have an appreciation of his comedic genius. With Gervais and Merchants writing of the episodes of Extra's, the result is some of the best satire I have ever seen. Each episode has a 'star' host, keep your eyes out for my favorite with Kate Winslet. Most of the guest hosts play characters very unlike those for which they are typically cast, and they do a marvelous job. The casting of the 'extras' is perfect, the timing right on, the writing is so good it is painful. Literally you will want to reach into your TV and tell them 'Stop talking.....NOW' Hands down, my favorite DVD of all time.
