Read all about it
Watch Extras Tuesday, 21:30 on Prime. Do. It doesn't have the defibrillator-level embarrassment of Ricky Gervais' previous The Office, but you will laugh very much more. (The Christmas Specials, he apostatises, are really all you need to know about Wernham Hogg.)
Each week a different "star" effectively stops Andy (Gervais) from speaking a coveted line and so moving beyond being a background artist. His mate Maggie is loveable klutz supreme. Samuel L Jackson, as befitting most people with a middle initial and a whole world of po-facery, doesn't quite get the joke, but Ben Stiller oddly (am I the only one who loathed Zoolander?) does. Kate Winslet is quite perfect. Patrick Stewart is even better.
(At the same time on C4 is Aussie show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, which has some very good bits and well warrants cranking up the old VCR. DG)
(And, of course, Denny Crane is a lure on 3. Damn.)

And then there's David Threlfall in the rather good Shameless on UKTV. Spoilt for choice, really.
