* Extras - TV programs are not something I normally comment on as they are uniformly appalling. The apparent prevalence of cokehead imitators in control of the media pretty much guarantees the zero standard of most programs. However, after reading a encouraging review of 'Extras' in the press I decided to give it a look last night. If this is the best in comedy that the BBC can come up with then I'm all in favour of privatising the organisation, at least we should get a decent price which we can spend on housing the Bulgarian and Romanian gypsies when they arrive.
Is it me or were the set piece gags such as the Harry Potter star after a leg-over,
the Dwarf with tottie, etc a bit obvious oldhat boring. Perhaps I'm missing some post-modern or modern-post joke.
