'''''Extras''''' is a [[Cringe Comedy]] [[Britcom]] by [[Ricky Gervais]] and [[Stephen Merchant]], starring Gervais as an out-of-work actor scraping by as an extra in the British film industry, with [[Ashley Jensen]] as his socially inept friend and fellow extra, and Merchant as his spectacularly incompetent agent. In the second season the story evolved as Gervais' character became the star of a popular but critically-reviled sitcom.
Packed a massive array of celebrity guests into its twelve episodes, and in fact the (officially untitled) episodes have often been referred to by names such as "Kate Winslet" or "Ben Stiller". Perhaps more impressively, the show has been extremely successful in getting actors to play versions of themselves who are incredibly conceited, or vicious, or vain, or stupid, or otherwise horrible human beings.
Concluded with a [[Christmas Episode]], which gave it an identical run to ''[[The Office]]''.

* [[Adam Westing]]: Pretty much the sole purpose for any high profile guest star.
