In Millman Territory

Spent Sunday evening as an extra in 'Me again all alone' a short film being shot by Christos Kouros here in Brussels. And, despite the presence of my fiancee Carrie in one of the main supporting roles, like Andy Millman, I wasn't able to get a line!
Now, some people have been rather sniffy about the new Gervais/Merchant TV series, 'Extras'. It's true that it is not 'water cooler' fodder to the same extent that 'The Office' was, but it's still hella cool. Sure, it's uneven, but the funny bits are often painfully funny ('The Mitchells' scene in the episode with Ross Kemp being a notable case in point). Jim Donaghy sums it all up nicely over at Aerial Telly. Like many classic sitcoms, the second series will be funnier than the first, and the first series funnier on second viewing.
